Hi Dazzlin, I'm in the same (ish) boat but have a smaller budget (about half yours). What's the better disco to go for? a Mk1 or Mk2? Oh, and why? Good luck with your quest Dazz. Skismo.

Update: Today I have removed all four injectors and connected them all up to the fuel lines outside of the engine block (to see them spray). They don't spray, any of them. Can it be that all four have suddenly stopped working or is there something more serious afoot? My injector pump seems...

Hi again. Well, I've had three great weeks of trouble-free SeriesIII driving and now have a problem that occured without warning. I used it on Tuesday - all ok. Today (Friday) went to get going and the engine would not start. With the help of the wife's car and jump leads I got the engine to...

Absolutely, I would ideally like some old two-piece doors that I can refurbish, just because I can ! Except, they seem to be hard to get, really scrappy ones are easy to find but semi-scrappy ones I guess are scooped up pretty quick.

Well, the Q is in the subject there ! I would like to think they would because I think a one-piece door is better than a two-piece however, I guess the lock mechanism is going to cause a kafuffle isn't it? My top half is loose on the passenger side and all the rain gets in on mi new posh...

Ah yes, celebrating I was, also told the wife that I had intentionally taken the seat box out to inspect the chassis and to facilitate fitting the new seats that she had insisted on installing because they have headrests and inertia seatbelts ! Being that she is an A&E nurse and see's the bodily...

I found mine under a pile of oily nuts and bolts in the dash board ! Make sure your knob is the forward position when you get in the vehicle to start it. I've just spent the day dismantling my Series 3 cos my clutch had gone when in fact, it appears, that all I did was knock my t/box gear...

Phew ! That's a relief. I can carry on putting it back together now. Cool. Thanks Slob.

Can anyone throw any light on this for me ? Ta. This morning I got in Series3 station wagon (2.25 Diesel & 4 speed gearbox) to go get new seats with headrests and inertia seatbelts etc... except, when I put in gear and let the clutch out, nothing happened. I tried all gears and still nothing...

I'm thinking of getting a K reg Disco 200tdi. It has a long MOT, 190K on the clock and is a tad tatty on the inside and out. It has four years service history and drives like a dream (although the clutch bites extremely close to the floor). Is there/are there any issues with this model of...

Thanks for that info, I have already put a s/h starter on the Landy. I've also just emailed TRW to see of they have drawings, we shall seee.

Me again, Mi old starter motor is now in bits and all cleaned up. There are some areas that the haynes manual doesn't cover, such as the drive assembly. As mine is in bits, I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction of LUCAS (as it's the early LUCAS M45G starter motor) and thus...

Oh, wats wrong wi chequer plate? is too posh or summat?

Hellooo again. One of mi next jobs is to possibly renew/mend mi sills. The sills are rusty and you can see daylight thru them (not huge amounts). They are no different now to two months ago when it passed it's mot. So, should I use chequer plate or more steel or what? Has anyone done the...

LOVL at Slob's reply .... Will check to see if sucking or blowing (I guess (hope) it's sucking). Thanks for the encouragement, I'll stick with it. Taken loads a bits out of the interior today ready for new list fo things to repair/replace etc. starting with the passenger front door as it...

Hi again, Ok, give it to me straight - What have I REALLY let miself in for? Is it possible to get a 1980 LWB Station Wagon with Diesel 2.25 in it up to such a standard that I can drive to the Lakedistrict and back without worrying? Are all my weekends now hijacked by my ever growing list of...

HI Thanks Tiga, I new the positive & smaller wire, but thanks for clearing up the negative one, now I know I can put it in a few choice places it should make life a little easier tomorrow. Can't wait to start mi landy up after almost two weeks of innactivity. :-)

I know this is basic stupid stuff but I've committed a bit of a faux pas ! Last week I took off the earlier version (Lucas M45G) starter motor from a 2286 Diesel engine. Things got a bit tight with time/light etc and in a hurry I only made a mental note of where I removed the earth strap...

Me again ! Just a quicky Q. Having visited a few spares places now, I'm thinking that either Quentin Wilson lied a bit when he said "you'll be paying for spare parts using 50pence pieces" in last month's LRO magazine, or, starter motors are one of the most expensive items you can not hope to...

There ya go ya see, knowing people like you is truly wondeful. I am now fully aware of all the things that can go wrong - and avoid them !! I'll just have to nip the nuts onto the bolts and make do with a bit more noise from the S3, which I've now decided I'm going to call 'Chunky'.
