Hi, If I put my 98' disco thru an MOT with no rear seats or seat belts will they fail it? I'm working away from home and the MOT is due, I removed the seats and belts so I could get all my tools in it and I don't want to drive 300 miles home just to get them, (the contract I'm working on has...

read a lot of posts on temperature gauges during a conversion, took a 19j out and put 200tdi in, swapped the temp sensor over and it reads high, if i put the headlights on it goes into the red, if i put the electric fan on it goes into the red, i haven't wired anything else in, and everything...

Just finished putting the 200tdi in my 110 (19j) (The disco donor engine I drove was good before taking motor out), Hooked everything up, turned the motor over a few times before connecting fuel pump wire so the oil would circulate, hooked up the wire and it fired into life. I then noticed an...

200 tdi conversion (19jtd) I've now taken the flywheel housing of the disco and removed the big gasket ERR1440, when I removed the 19j housing there was no gasket, do I need one or just use RTV? also I am replacing the rear crank oil seal, whats the difference between the ERR2532 and ERR2532G...

Had a rear end clunk and replaced A frame bearing and bushings as advised, sounds like the rear end clunk has gone but I now have a sort of clink coming from gearbox or transfer box? the gearbox seems to rattle first thing from cold then stops after a few miles, all the gears are good no...

Put a new speedo cable on my s3 swb, i noticed the hole to the speedo drive on the gearbox was square but the cable was oval? it works for about 50miles then gives up, if i unscrew the cable and refit it, it works again? then gives up! have i got the right cable? (the speedo works when i put the...

I've got 2" rear spring hangers on my s3 swb but the springs looked flat, i've just put parabolic springs on, (noticed the spring hangers are sprung loaded and pull to the back), the new springs also sit flat and the spring hangers are at 45 degree angle, is this normal? the rear end skips out...

Read a few posts regarding rear end clunk when changing gears, have taken flanges off, they look quite new as do the half shafts, very little play or worn teeth. How much play, in and out should the half shafts have? with the circlip on (and flanges) I can push them in and out a quarter inch...
