Where have the photos gone?

[/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] Might sound like an unusual question, but that paint code is Epsom Green, isnt it? The car has never been resprayed, no sign of a colour change under the carpets or anywhere else, but as ive got no need or desire to get rid of this car, and ive got a big pile of very...

You missed out.... but there will be others..... Speaking from experience, i bought my 300tdi Disco (virtually the same shell as the classic) in Spain about fifteen years ago. Underneath is still rock solid, boot floor, rear arches, inner wings, all the usual places discos go are still rock...

Just sorted it while you were writing that, Data'.. cheers though. I drilled two holes in that steel plate under the dash which made those two remaining screws much easier to get at. Then it really was just the tape on the inside of the cowl that was holding it together. It appears to be the...

My steering column height adjuster has gone floppy and I need to get the column cowl off to see whats going on. The telescopic bit works fine but the column wont lock in position on the up and down motion so I need to get the cowl off to see whats going on. Ive got the four obvious screws out...

Although I fear im going to hear that weird QI Klaxon for saying this.......................... but has anyone suggested Steel Seal? I know its naff but it worked for me for 18 months or so and I intended to overhaul the cooling system when I replaced the head anyway... which i did... thanks...

And so we get a chance to admire those rather fetching injector pipe clamps..................lovin' your work!

Well done Datatek....... It must have just been an airlock. As soon as I lifted the car so that the top of the rad was even slightly higher the heater pipes, its seemed to hold its level ..... All thats left now is to let it cool, turn the head bolts another 90 degrees and "touch wood" its...

Interesting, The stat and the waterpump are brand new but the car is currently pointing downwards.... I took the front wheels off it and lowered the axle to the ground just to make it easier to work on. ...... ill lift it up and try again. Thankfully the car didnt overheat while it was running...

Sorry DT, i assumed you were following the thread..... They might be useful info for future reference though. I couldnt find the pics I wanted when I was searching, so...... Anyway.... The car is running this morning! ................... But still pressurising the coolant :(.............Im...

Agreed, Wammers. However, when the pipes came off the were all linked together so it looked to me liked theyd just fall back in to place on reassembly, which they did.... to some extent. Your guide was excellent for peace of mind though. Very much appreciated. ;)

Somehow, i had managed to get the pipes on right in the first place. So now everything is reassembled! :)...................... Damn shame all this cold weather has killed my battery!:mad:

Thats first job tomorrow then.......

Cheers fellas. Ill put this rad in, in the morning then. Would very much appreciate a photo of the back of your pump and where the pipes. I know the pipes are formed so you cant really go wrong, but something snt quite right here.................

This Christmas is the first chance ive had since last summer to replace the cylinder head of the P38. Sure enough, when I removed it, the crack in the head was immediately apparent between the valves on the second cylinder. Anyway, now a replacement (and pressure tested) head is fitted and im...

As it happens ive got to go your way to pick up a windscreen for something else..... Id be most grateful if I could borrow your kit, terms to be agreed of course.

Cheers, ill keep him in mind anyway..... clearly I would be willing to leave a deposit on the kit if anyone else was willing to loan me, and I hate the idea im being judged by the standards of others. "grrrrrr" miserable buggers.... Im just pricing up the stuff I need, I might have some of it...
