Finally managed to get the bolt out of the window frame by grinding a slot in to it.
So much faffery just to change the door latch

When you refit the window frame back into the door, make sure that you get the alignment right or you could end up with a leak between the door and the seal up in the top front corner.Finally managed to get the bolt out of the window frame by grinding a slot in to it.

I've probably fixed the leak I already had
Everything looked fine and all the gaps were slightly tighter, especially at the front top where it used to leak slightly in heavy rain, so I'll see how I get on when it next rains.

Has anybody got any idea how many litres of brake fluid a disco 2 td5 can hold? Including the clutch I'm on 7 ltrs now. Think I'm causing a one man Blake fluid world shortage!!!

I would have thought less than one litre. How much does 7 litres cost?

Ta for that. It's about 10 euro a litre, put it this way I'm already thinking up excuses for when the boss gets back from England Tuesday and looks at the bank account

Must agree 7 litres seems excessive to me to. The disco does not seem to be doing what it does best ie spilling vital fluids over the tarmac, so where is it going?

£4100 mate so quite pleased with that
54 reg 95000miles, chassis solid but needed a lick of paint, couple of rust scabs above windscreen.
Not too bad at all

I finally picked up Myrtle today from the Southampton port and drove her back to Newmarket, Suffolk.
I got a lot of head turning from people seeing me driving a LHD Disco on the motorway.

Shouted at it and told it not to do this now!! ......
Middle of a car park, load of frozen stuff from the souper market slowly warming up in the back, and my stupid starter motor issue makes a reappearance! .... just clicking. It eventually started and the pizzas thankfully survived unhurt.
Just been out to remove the solenoid plunger again and realised that there's no way I'm fitting the repair kit while the engine is hot!
Job for tomorrow me thinks
