This is the best £20 quidsworth I have ever spent on my 1972 series three. NIGHTEYE 72W 9000LM H4/HB2/9003 LED Headlight 391908928073 eBay item number: The beam is far brighter than the halogen replacement kit that I fitted years ago. These led's seem to cut through the fog beautifully...

I am replying because you have the gearbox allready and presumably want to use it?.The Disco gear box has a bell housing 5.5" longer than the defenders. The output shaft is 5.5" longer as well. I used a disco engine and a modified gearbox in mt series3. It can be made to fit and if you are...

I have the early Disco steel wheels on my 1972 series 3. I think the pattern of lightning holes in a early Disco steel wheel is different to that of your 90, but both are for tubeless tyres and are the same wheel stud spacings. The reason I now use Disco steel wheels is because they take a...

I had these 200 tdi 1990 surrounds on ebay for £15. Not sold. No back lights though. Don't know what postage to ireland would be. Chris.

Thanks, Sounded good so I tried it but found without the support that the orignal back rest gave it was uncomfortable after a while. Today I sliced the alloy rivets off the cross peice on the BHD to alow movement. Also sliced the alloy spot welds off the flat area of bhd and took a wedge shaped...

I have driven a series3 now for 20 odd years and always needed more legroom. It's not that my legs are enormous but just getting older and less bendy. Has anyone thaught of a way of moveing the bulkhead ? Just before I mark out where to put the angle grinder. Chris.

Not exactly sure what you are doing with the turbo. If it is any help I fitted a Disco engine pluss it's turbo and cut and rotated the cast pipe coming out from the turbo to make a nice run downwards for the exhaust. Ordinary mig mild steel weld. Chris.

Not sure if the original questioner, curveking,lost interest somewhere but if still interested... I converted a series 3 with a DISCO 200 TDI 3 years ago and it has been a more than a complete sucess.:):crazy_driver: No need to worry about anything fitting,it all does as both the chasis...

Thanks oil dripper.. And everyone for the info'.. A Big help,and I :) understand a lot more on the subject now. Chris.

Has anyone made adjustment to this and how critical is it ?...I fitted a complete replacement 200 tdi engine a year ago and felt that it never has given enough power. My local dealer advised that I firstly check timeing (all ok) then secondly screw in the adjustment on the top/back of the...

Along in a minute, Yes now here we are. The 200tdi in a disco one does as you say 30mpg and is probably the answer to the original questioner.Hovever in a half ton lighter vehicle (that is my series 3) with disco gearbox and transfer and diffs It will go a few more miles per gallon even though...

Thanks Tony, I have just put a new 'o' seal on myself, probably as you were writing the reply,but not the right size, had to stretch it so don't suppose it will last long. must try to find one a better fit. perhaps try a hydraulic specialist.Sometimes it's the realy simple things that get on...

I'm after advice::: My F.W.Hs. have become leaky. I know the Fairy hubs are no longer made, but does anyone know if repair kits are available? I could fit new oil seals but if a kit is being made anywhere It would be a better job....Chris.

I have a 1990 discovery eng' and gearbox to go into my series 3 swb. And am looking for a supplier of the kit to allow the center fiff' to be altered to disingage the front wheel drive when in the difflock free position. I have fwh fitted.

Thanks for the reply. what advice did you receive on your same question?

I have recently bought a descovery 1990. 200 tdi With a seized up vacuum activated pivot (on the end of push rod arm)on the turbo' Before I try any brute force to free it, could anyone advise? Ihope it's not a case of a replacement unit.The vehicle has been standing for some months.
