Dear All, I’ve whipped the wheels off the lad’s 1993 L-plate 90 200tdi, and have them taken off the callipers, in advance of a vented disc and new callipers. Then I’ve taken off the dust-cap, circlip, and thrust washer, loosened the 5 bolts, and realised, like an utter dummy that it doesn’t...

Evening all. Does anybody know if these Disco alloys from a v8 will fit on a 1993 Defender 90 200 tdi ? Many thanks, Damo

I'm at my wit's end. Disco 300 tdi had a bit of welding done and my mechanic pal who did it had to drop the fuel tank out. After it was welded and tank refitted I blanked the egr. I'd done a full service before the welding so new filters and oil all round. After blanking it was...

What about this then, regarding the EGR blanking ? I've a 98 R-reg three door 300 tdi XS, with 94k on the clock. All regularly serviced, with interval being every 6k for oil, and 12k for fuel filter and air filter. I use it as a shooting bus, and had not done anything with her since...

I snapped the 8mm bolt attaching the engine breather filter box to the engine block, when I was changing the glow plugs (like the ham-fisted tw@t that I am). I've pushed the filter box back into the hole, but not bolted it back in. What's the danger of driving it down to the motor factor's...

Any ideas where I can get a chequer plate kit for my 3 door 98 300TDi XS ? The bottom of the doors are beginning to go, and the panel in front of both rear wheel arches has recently crumbled after a good jet wash. I reckon it's cheaper to cover with chequer plate, after trying to treat the...

Can anybody recommend someone to convert a 110 3.5 v8 from a manual to an automatic ? I am in God's own country (Yorkshire), but I have had my jabs, I do have a passport, and I am willing to go out of the county if absolutely necessary. Unusually, for a professional Yorkshireman, I do not...
