Well the old girl has gone! Sold to a guy here in Spain, if he has half the luck I had with the car he will be a very happy man for years to come. Oh BTW, I just arrived in Spain with a MANUAL Landcruiser 80,:D regards Dave

I purchased the Disco to get out into the campo (wild countryside) at weekends and to get involved in some challenge events and the car pretty much wiped the floor with everything they had over here in the first few events we competed in, I then hurt myself whilst putting in a new clutch...

YEP! Proof that despite all the odds I really am a creature of habit! I was going to lock the doors and set the alarm as well! regards Dave

Yeh it was a grin once I knew I was not oing to lose my car however, tommorow I may be saying goodbye to the old girl as someone has made me an offer. I hope the new owner looks after 'Tanque' (spanish for tank)well. regards Dave

Hi all, just a note to say the Disco is up for sale :( to fund a new project.:) Feel free to ring ect, 0034 696867880 Land Rovers For Sale - Off road LHD Discovery 200tdi - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds regards Dave

Well sudden fluid loss should have been evident if that was the issue and I know it was not, the selector lever coming disconnected and then dropping into nuetral....well I have seen that before but not with the dash lights flashing, I would read through the list the guys on here have given you...

You don't say what you were doing when the fault occured. Was the car parked for a length of time after driving perfectly and you started it up and selected 'D' and nothing happened, ooooor was you in 'd' and driving along and just lost drive ect? Without wishing to be the bringer of doom...

They can have a tendency to whine however, try swapping your tyres around I have often found the wear pattern can set up a whine at certain speeds. Differentials can aso whine with the sound travelling up the props confusing it's origin, you could try running around with one of the propshafts...

Didn't this subject get done to death a few months back? Despite the 200tdi having vented discs they were lacking but ONLY when used in competitions and pushed real hard in a hot climate. If you are driving normally I would be happy with the stock system, JMHO. regards Dave

Be a little bit conservative with high power stereos in this space as they can overheat even to the point the CD's buckle! regards Dave

put a new plug on it and at least it can be discounted if it comes up again. Just my 2 cents regards Dave

My 2" lift brought with it very slight vibes from the front end, fitted a 'double cardon' propshaft and now all is well. BTW some Disco's have a 'damper' on the front axle (looks like a cast iron wheel next to the diff). Taking this off can also bring vibes as well, I tried it after fitting a...

Probably leaking into brake servo, when it's half full it will be running down your brake pedal. regards Dave

Stock vented on my left hooker in Spain (1993) regards Dave

I have a dashpod that sits on to of the dash, this has the radio/cd, three air loocker switches and the CB. I put three gauges in place of the original radio. I know I know, this thread is useless without pics! http://www.landyzone.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=10677...

Love my 200tdi to bits but may have to swap for a Toyota LC 80 because I need more space and a bit more power. Dave leaves forum and starts looking for the flameproof suit :D regards Dave

Many, many years ago I used to work for an engineering firm and used to make triggers for nuclear bombs..............could job I did not take the same attitude eh? But seriously, at the end of the day it's our hard earned bucks that are being thrown away, QC ia what it's all about! I don't...

They do not have a good output/pattern when new so I just put brighter bulbs in which helped no end. regards Dave

IMHO apart from the poor quality of these pumps another factor is the belt on the 200tdi has to be get quite tight because it is driving the water pump, power steering pumps and the alternator (via PSP, this adds up to quite a load and the belt will slip and be noisey the moment it gets even...

I needed one here for a race on the quick, could only get Britpart here in Spain :( two races and it was buggered!!!!!!!!!!! Whilst I appreciate it was working harder than the norm an original lasted for over a year and 14 races plus many challenge events. regards Dave
