So you did engineering then bought something that was even worse in design and build than a discovery
hurry up and buy the series then I might stop taking the **** So you did engineering then bought something that was even worse in design and build than a discovery
to be fair it was mainly fabrication and only a little fitting.
but i researched before buying then still bought it.
the series won't be long...i've had a donation of a few bits and bobs that i can be fettling

Sure you wouldn't prefer a 101FC ? theres one for sale 50 miles from me, I'd buy it if I was allowed another project

i don't want a lorry
i want a weekend runabout that will let me traverse the rougher bits of the many lanes in spitting distance of my house.
although the 101 is an impressive vehicle

You know it makes sense
its a weekend runabout that's also a very nice piece of history much rarer than a series 3

Just to clarify aboot the water pump - it's also coupled to an electric controller that means it responds directly to the engines cooling needs. So it moves the coolant around just enough to prevent hot spots when warming up, and then it keeps the engine at a preset temp after that. Also runs the pump for 2 mins after shut down to prevent heat soak. Bloody genius. As long as you don't get a coolant leak or burst hose, I really don't see how HGF is remotely likely with that thing doing its job.
For £270, can you afford not to? I'm just about to spend a few hundred squid on new tyres and a new VCU - so may be a while until I can get the cash together but it would give me absolute peace of mind about the engine.

I've just seen that - 3000 hours doesn't seem a particularly long expected life - and that's when run continually, for sure with numerous stop/start/heat/cool cycles it'll be much less
