After going thru all of the above, and replacing the windscreen, taking off the wing and welding the seam up in front of the A pillar, and replacing the door aperture seals, I found it was tracking round the inside of the aperture seals and then pooling at the bottom of the door aperture and...

Thanks, I'll take the scuttle covers off again and check that. The seals I got from Rimmer were labelled as Disco2 seals, I have noticed there is a kink in the sealing tube as it folds around the area where the door mirror is, like a S shape. The seal and mounting are dry above, the groove...

Hi, I've packed out the seal where it fits onto the aperture with a thick sealant, `I've checked that the seal touches the door as there is a transfer of engineer's blue from the seal to the door skin. Waiting for the sealant to dry now before tripping more water over it. It only leaks when...

Forgot to say, I've been through the water ingress manual and completed all of those tasks as well.

Hi all. Been playing mackamole with the water leaks and have 1 left which `I have found some information on but not sure if it is applicable to my issue, which is now only on the passenger side. I've replaced the sun roof seals, and the roof bar gaskets, checked and extended the drain hoses -b...

No mate, v8 went last `April, couldn't keep both. lpg is unavailable here now, and it was so expensive to run on petrol, a friend took it, he loves it, even though I changed the tubular header exhaust to the standard it did sound good. had the headlining done in cumbria last week, took 3 1/2 hrs...

finally got my 3 door XS back after replacing most of the floor, body mounts. replaced seals in sunroof, still leaked into front foot wells, found spot welded seam behind exterior front wings that had not been sealed properly, 5 repair patches later and ready for the next one. took a tank full...

Stewarts4x4 Mold is the best one around here. About 40 miles from Conwy.

Dinitrol - cavity wax, external wax & stone chip.

Many thanks BFG, I think I must have welded up the holes in the lip when the new flooring side panels went in, all fun. Not much fun lying under it in the snow yesterday though.

Hi its taken a year or so but my 3 door tdi is back on 4 wheels after having replaced all of the back end and most of the front. Unfortunately I cannot remember how the rear mudflap brackets attach to the underfloor, aligning the brackets up with the lower rear panel the mounting holes appear to...

Hello, yes I am reasonably happy with the sale, obviously more would have been even better but seriously it is difficult to find someone who would even look at it, I had it for sale on a number of places for several weeks and just got cranks, also my son put the reg on the well known tv...

Hi, I sourced the rear left hand from Rimmer Bros, the rear right hand is also listed, I think it was around £90.

sold, £1500 as described last Wednesday.

Okay, no interest so as it is not used I'll scrap it off. pity as it was in quite good condition structurally and mechanically. I'll take an ironic pleasure in seeing it squashed.

Forgot to mention, I've replaced all the suspension bushes with poly bush red.

Made up my mind to sell. Not being used so taking space up and I'll be getting my 2 door back soon. Bought it in March 2013, at 130000km. The engine had been replaced at 122000km with Turner top hat liner rebuild with Kent 180 cam. ECU has tornado chip and magnecor leads. Springs and shock...

I'm no expert, having changed the belt just recently on my own tdi, there is a mark on the cam gear that should align with a mark on the casting. If you have the rocker cover off you should be able to check that the engine is at tdc, especially if you have the pin in the slot in the fly wheel...

Well, as I'm waiting for the welding on the rear floor and front body mount I used the time to service the diffs, gearbox and engine, and change the timing belt. Taking off the cover the bolts had a lubricant so good, when the cover came off the casting was fill off black fluff, same on the...

Replaced in tank pump in the v8, went to Asda yesterday to fill up with lpg and the silly thing wouldn't start, oops! Fortunately my pal where the 2 door tdi is was able to tow me back to his workshop, power to the pump but no pressure. Rimmer Bros delivered a pump this afternoon and away it...
