So only getting back to this now and as luck had it I managed to source a new Steve Parker system still in it's original unopened packaging on the second hand market. Wohoo... So I'll be getting that fitted in the very near future.

So put this system in the bin where it was heading in the first place... It's a bit of a shame as it is in relatively good condition, the smaller silencer even has it's original sticker from new still stuck on it...

So I happened to get my hands on an exhaust system (right place right time sort of thing) but there is a problem, the pipework has an outside diameter of 1.75 inches only. There has been a lot of chat on this thread alone on the minimum diameter needed and that seems to range anywhere between 2...

I never heard of a spring referred to as a shock, but I have heard of the terms shocks/dampers being used interchangeably?? Anyway I take it it's not a longer spring I need?? This machine is all over the place at the minute, I'm hoping that reconnecting the shock/damper helps a lot but there...

By Longer Dampers, I take you mean longer shocks??

Well I ordered the standard bushes and fitted them last night. Although the shock mounting was nowhere near the mounting point it was just pushed into itself and it extended under a bit of pressure down to where it needed to be. So it all fitted together easly enough but I haven't tried her...

I continued to make enquiries on what is my best option and it seems that as the chassis rails on the 90 200tdi are in a completely different position than the old Series 3 it would mean there's be a lot of chopping to do to get it to fit. Therefore getting something made up seem like the best...

Got some pics taken today: The machine herself: The Engine Bay The Manifold: The Down Pipe from the top: The Down Pipe from th ebottom: I take it these are the hangers, are there only two, one in the middle and one at the rear:

Yea engine in the front, haha. Haven't decided which way to go just yet. She only arrived at the weekend so I've a lot of poking and prodding to do before I order anything major.

Funny I was asking him about the fit and is it possible that the engine positioning might be slightly different as it is all non standard. After all it may vary depending on how the individual who did the conversion decided where the mounts should go. He did say that basically all conversions...

Thanks kind of what I was thinking, I was going to order the 200Tdi 90 exhaust system and get it welded to the down pipe that is already fitted to mine, It all depends what the shop will charge for the fitting and fabrication on top of the cost of the system as I know the system itself will cost...

Thanks for the replies guys, and to clarify a few points. Yes it is an 88 and it is running the turbo (Disco 200Tdi) and yes there is a down pipe attached exiting just below the chassis (I'll try and get a few pics up tomorrow). So is the important thing here is the bore of the exhaust pipe, as...

I've recently purchased A Series 3 fitted with a 200Tdi Disco engine but it doesn't have an exhaust, there was one on it at some point but it has gone missing. All that is left is a pipe that drops vertically from the manifold to under the chassis with 90 degree bend in the end. Anyway what do...

I had this problem with an '07 Berlingo. It turned out to be the injectors, one was leaking a small amount of fuel under pressure and was blowing it under the rocker cover and it was running into the sump.

Thanks for the comments guys, bushings ordered so I just need to get a retaining washer and a split pin... Is difficult to get this all back together again as the shock is nowhere near the mounting pin at the minute, in fact that corner of the Landy is sitting slightly up in the air. The shock...

I've just purchased a new to me Series 3 Landy and as it was driving like a boat I had a look at underneath to see it anything was wrong and noticed that one of the rear shocks had come off it's mounting on the axle. The shocks and springs are not the standard stuff and I was wondering how to...

A bit of a hi-jack but I've the same problem on a new to me Series 3, I've literately just got it and it was driving like a boat so I had a closer look and one of the rear shocks is totally away from it's mount on the axle. The springs and shocks are definitely not the standard stuff, so I'm...

Cheers, what are they like on the road as there seems to be mixed opinions on how they perform on the road, especially in the wet...

Just after buying a set of Weller Stealies with half worn mitchell xzl tyres... What's the thoughts on these tyres, are they road legal and OK for MOT's??

Thanks for the comments lads, at least I think I know what I should be looking out for now. I think a set of the LWB rims with the 7.50's could be the job.
