Can you not just chuck another belt and pulley on? Only will take a couple of hours.

It's finding the part. I think its part of the cambelt cover but I cannot find one for sale. If I do and its cheap i'll buy a belt only and if it needs one I'll swap it over at the same time.

You're a mind reader. I did think about it but have got piles of crap here to sort out before I buy anything else.

You mean this bit Brian?

That's the part he needs but really doubt he is willing to pay that when he may be breaking it when the mot runs out

Yer I gathered that but thats the only one on ebay. Was just trying to confirm that was the bit he needed. I will ask at my club meet tomorrow as I know a guy breaking a 300.

That looks like the one. Wow, I scrapped my last landy with that bit still on because I could not undo the crank bolt. If I knew what they are worth I'd have tried harder.
Don't let them see that price. :lol:

One being broken opposite me brian....

Makes me laugh people actually pay that for such old vehicles..........

Is that the one he was trying to sell for ages? Probably selling engine complete I guess.

Thats the problem, ideally you need to find one with a blown lump then they may split it.

no the guy opposite brought two. One with ****ed 300TDi and one good one

Why do you need one Brian? has the bearing gone?


If so apparently you can get the bearings
DISCOVERY 300 TDI FRONT OUTER TIMING COVER BEARING SOLD on Car And Classic UK

Yes mate, the pulley is wobbly and there is a horrible noise so I dont think it will be long before something gives.

If I can find a cover for £20 second hand then I'll change it over otherwise if there all over £50 i'll just break the Disco early.

I sold the last engine in parts and got more than the £350 a complete engine goes for.

Dan, can you check how much he wants for that bit for me.

Cheers all.

If i see him yeah! Not sure if ill get up there tomorrow....

No rush, when you next see him.

No laning or me this week due to work and I'm lending the disco to my brother next week.
Hopefully get a laning trip sorted wc 5/3 anyone else?
