    200Tdi (Discovery) into a '79 88" S3

    I'm going to have a few questions on this so I'll keep them all together in one thread. I've 'trial fitted' the engine and it sits fine on the engine brackets/mounts/rubbers. I'm using Bearmach Defender rubbers, ANR1808 I think. So, first question is about the exhaust downpipe. As you know it...

    Gearbox Mounts

    Hi folks, I'm coming near the time where the gearbox is ready to be fitted. I have these two mounts which came off the original chassis but have read that they are handed, part #s, 272501 and 272498. but I can see no discernible difference between them. Any pointers to tell L from R or are mine...

    Washer Jet Nut

    TD5, single-handedly managed to get the jet fitted and the nut onto the threads through the ashtray. I'll explain the trick later but am trying to tighten the nut with a 13 spanner and don't know if I'm getting anywhere. So, is the nut 13, I know I should have tried it when it was in my hand but...

    Tank Repair

    Morning all, 1979 Diesel. I spotted some pin hole leaks in the bottom of the tank but when aggressively wire brushing some more serious ones appeared. So, is it worth trying to repair the 'leaks' and if so whats the best long term option, brazing, mig? The rest of the metal is in fantastic...

    Handbrake Button

    Series 3, How far out should my Button pop, Ladies and Gentlemen. Without further investigation I can only depress it about 1/8 inch (3mm). It appears quite stiff at that but does release from the ratchet. Obviously bench testing at the moment.....

    Brakes etc.....

    Hi all, I have 2001 TD5 110 that could do with new pads on the back. I was trying to sort out what I need so got a ref number off the caliper, Lockheed LB10PY015AC. Now when I look that up it is a TDi caliper! I could also do with a pair of Drive Flanges, I can see 'play' in the present ones. So...

    Drive Flange

    Hello People, doing a bit of a tidy up on a back axle and found that the Drive Flange had a fair amount of play in it. When I went to take it off it put up a bit of a fight but eventually took Half Shaft off and then knocked off Flange with a hammer. As you can see there is a lot of 'scoring' on...

    Chassis Replacement

    Hi all, thinking of getting a galvanized chassis for a 1979 88". At the moment I'm leaning towards a Richards one. It will be my first attempt at anything as big as this so I'm hoping for everything to line up without too much hardship. Anyhow, on their site, they have a couple of 'extras' that...

    Series 3 200 Tdi

    A couple of questions about fitting a 200 Tdi in a '79 88" Series III. I have an engine sourced and was wondering which Intercooler is the handiest to fit. The engine is from a '94 Disco, and I've asked him to throw in the Intercooler but he also has a couple of 300 Tdi 'coolers knocking about...
