Matt forgot to say on the phone, order some new engine and gearbox mount rubbers as they tend to snap when you remove them and there only a couple of quid.

They are all here ready. Just need to get some more power steering fluid and coolant as we'll loose that and I need to let my a/c gas go beforehand too.

I'll also bring various threaded bars and nuts as temp bolts incase we have any issues.

Getting it all ripped apart Saturday early morning will mean any replacement parts can be got from the local motorfactors by the afternoon. If not halfords is open Sunday so it should all be ok.
 
Hi Matt,
Sorry I couldn't talk for long. Around 7 is always a bad time for me (kids homework, my homework :eek: ).
I'll have to let you know closer to, But hope to help out even it it is only for a few hours. Really interested to see the transformation and I'll learn a bit, well hopefully.

BTW the chassis looks great. Hard to believe its years older than your existing one :eek: maybe shows the benefits of rust prevention, was this evident before it was cleaned.

The chassis had been dry stored for years by the sounds of it so it only had a little use on the road :)
 
I have a brake bleeding kit, just the cheap one with a bottle and tube but with plenty of us around it should be fine to use.
 
Gents have sold my Disco so have the following which you’re more than welcome to:

300TDI auto box filter kit
5 unopened litres of Morris EP80W/9 Diff oil which and some opened autobox oil which I will through in.

Just after a drink for them I’m over in Much Hadham which is the other side of Bishops Stortford / Harlow (SG10) so you can collect whenever.
 
I am only 10mins from Wickford so should be able to pop over for a while. Will be good to finally meet some more of you :D. Send me the details Matt :)

Are you the guy who had my sunroof motor and I came and looked at your disco a few weeks ago?

Interested in the bits as I have brought another auto now and need to change the fluids.

Pm me with a price and I might be able to collect today or tomorrow.

Has given me loads of inspiration for mine, I just need the funds now.
