picked it up since its got its new radiator just for the fan belt to break on way home, oh and has developed an earth problem on the head lights too 
yesterday the rear brakes were down to the metal so i stripped it down and ended up fitting new pads and calipers then when i'd finished i got the dreaded click from the starter motor. it had done it a few times in the past but always started on the next try. after doing some searches on here i ordered the kit to rebuild the solenoid so i'm sat waiting for mr postman now so I can get to it.
Started stripping my decent bits off the Disco .. it's going!
Reckon I'll do better stripping and selling or scrapping it altogether and starting with another than trying to fix everything .. no garage, or dry storage so it's awkward getting and keeping stuff dry!

I cursed the 300tdi auto, profusely.
Random and intermittent very loud belt squeal accompanied by the stench of burning rubber. Does it do it for me (no) does it do it when the wife is taking the kids to school (yes), it surely cant be any of the bearings cos I've changed em all, so I'm thinking pump shafy bollocks (god knows), i dunno tho cos it's too dark to mess about atm, it'll need to wait to Saturday. Fat hairy bollocks is what it is.
(advice welcome)

Yes actually I did
Got a few things wrong like getting the pipe in a dreadful knot and kept loosing a dammed screw, when I say loosing it it really kept hiding in the engine seemed to spend most of the time looking for pump sprocket inspection cover screws that sue kept slinging on the floor
