    Will a Disco 200tdi turbo fit my Defender 200tdi?

    It can be made to fit. All you have to do is remove the front and back from both turbos and bolt the defender bits to the discovery center, make sure you get it all aligned right though and it spins freely without the fans catching. Do not touch the center assemblly as it will need rebalancing.

    Where's that gawn?

    I think that there wasn't allot of oil in your front axle to start with, and you have a leaky steering box. simples:D

    General tools

    I agree with andy, Halfords professional stuff is good, I have one of their big kits behind my seat in the landy which everyone seems to borrow when we are out. I also have a cheapo sunday market set of spanners 10mm to 32mm for hitting with the big hammer you will also need:D Ooh and a...

    Timing cover off tonight, any tips?

    I think you may need a puller for the crankshaft pulley. I'm not sure if you do on your engine but you do for a tdi engine. They can be a real pain to get off but some nearly fall off. As sypher ays heat is the best way to undo tight bolts but a few good hits with a hammer often loosens them if...

    Roof lining / headliner - pimp my landy!

    I took the headliner out of mine, peeled of the liner from 1 half, hoovered all the old foam off the liner and the fabric and spray glued the fabric back to the liner. When the glue had got a good hold I repeated the process on the other side. Left overnite for the glue to set well and scrubbed...
