My local independent says that he is really busy with farmers coming in with their TD5s and TDCIs and seeking to sell them to swap for TDIs that they then get reconditioned with galv chassis and new bulkheads etc... The farmers want to TDIs as they are easier to fix and reliable so they are just...

Thnks guys....helped me confirm that my 200 is a fender one not a disco!

Best thing I have done to mine for ages!

tip: put a piece of rubber hose on the bleed nipple coz when you are lying on your back undoing it whilst someone pumps the peddle in the cab you will get some of the fluid in your face if you do not use the rubber hose.....I wear specs and still have a working eye but only coz I wear specs.

whats their names? Any distinguishing features? How did you lose them?

I have some virtually new all terrain typres on silver modulars that I would swap for the insa's. Cant help on the suspension though!

Did mine with standard spanner - make sure you know which way is undoing it and then give it a sharp hard smack with a lump hammer (and I mean harder that you think or your logic would allow you to normally do to an engine!) When I did this it undid immeditly.

loving that!!

Nip into stealers and ask for the washer. Mine gives them out free coz they cant be bothered with the transaction as its a few pennies!

I have no idea what its worth - was planning to look it up on google and do some research into what it costs new and what they sell for on fleaBay but feel free to make me an offer if you want!

Yep, the vibration started at or around 40 and only went away if I went below 40 or took my foot of the gas. The MOT had given me an advisory for worn UJ bearings a few months back and I knew it needed doing so I assumed that was the cause and wanted to replace them anyway. The new prop has...

Hi - I had a vibration at 40mph and changed the UJ's on the front prop - well actually I ended up changing the whole front prop because when I tried to replace the UJs I found it really hard to get the new bearing cup into one of the yolks and had to use so much force that the neddle bearings...

They take a while to get hot because the engines are mostly diesel and over cooled. I removed the sucking air thru my radiator as the 90 does not seem to need it anyway which helps it get warmer quicker. When I got mine it was fitted with a pre-heater that you pluged into the mains on a timer...

Assume I prime it by just having the fuel in line attached and turn the engine over so hat fuel spills out of the fuel out connector which is currently disconnected??

I just assumed that the fuel in was the same side as the old pump but will check to make sure that when I lift the arm it sucks from the right place!

Thanks james, i did that and connected up the fuel in pipe and sparked up the engine. No fuel from the out side of pump. Any tricks to get this working? Thanks

I do not know if the pump is driven by lifting the arm or not. If it is driven by lifting the arm then the arm sits onto of the cam, if it is driven by dipping the arm then it sits beneath the cam. Can you help?

Looked at busters guide, got old fuel pump off my 200 tdi easy enough. New pump has a longer arm and a plastic spacer which I assume I need to use to keep the arm inside the engine the same length as the old one. Stuck my pinky into the hole and can feel a cam which I assume drives the...

these are fore sale?? as in foreskin??

hahaha - you need to lose some pounds dude!! Most of our landys are down on the driver side its coz your fat arse is in the seat most and so the springs wear out more quickly on that side
