Et dans quel coin de la France habitez-vous, mon vieux?Joined landyzone,
Remembered not to translate my question into French.
That's the trouble with being an ex-pat or immigrant .
Queried my insurance and replaced 4x 255/55 18 all season tyres now need a nap ,
On a V8, not a big deal as it's on top of everything.
On a TD5... well, it's a whole other thing...

No not a difficult job if you're handy with (the few) spanners needed. You'll need to remove the viscous coupling fan which is the only 'special' spanner you need. I believe Halfords sell them + online obviously.

D4 starter motor had given up. Stripped and cleaned (not by me) and now good as new
Couldn't they do the alternator while they were there ?
Not done it on a D2 but with decent access it should not be that difficult.
Disconnect battery first, have decent selection of metric spanners and take your time.
You may have to loosen the tensioner first to get belt off but again this is fairly straight forward.
Have a browse of the site, it probably on here somewhere.

They could if it was the same car.Couldn't they do the alternator while they were there ?
D4 = starter problem, D2 = alternator problem.

Lives another day, the V6 lion engine decided to try and eat the auxiliary belt tensioner on the D3 caught this just in time.
Opportunity to get the massive spanners out again to remove the fan.
New belt and tensioner fitted.

I went out this morning to replace the last couple of flexible brake pipes on the 101 but ended up removing the battery to place it on charge as it went flat after about five seconds of cranking.

Replaced the gear stick centering plate and springs, i can now select 3rd and 4th with ease.
Also replaced the rubber bung that caps off the pipe that's under the turbo with a nice new silicone one so no mere weeping coolant.

Well, one bloke said, 'I haven't seen one that clean in many years' and another said, 'I had Disco one back in the 90's awesome vehicles' he asked if he could sit in it.Along the lines of?
