Haha I love the evil cackle near the end

He's got another cheap 12k lb one in the works after he's sorted a warn for me!

Seen these a bit on fleabay, are they any good? Land Rover 300tdi uprated Intercooler - manifold induction kit 60mm discovery | eBay

Go to the chilli pot restaurant opposite hard days night hotel. Wont be disappointed! I'm in St. Helens 20 mins away but busy all week in Northwich! After anything in particular?

Bah. Taking it off was seeming like the only option. Looks like I'm gonna have to. It seems like once the shaft warms up its jamming the release bearing possibly?

The bearings were changed with the right parts and fitted correctly. I had help from a mechanic who has spent lots of time under discos and has 30yrs+ exp. which is why it is puzzling me. Ill drop the box oil today. Just to see if it alleviates the sticky lever problem at all.

I very rarely ventured into the city centre. Commuted home every day as it was only a few days study and then at home and it was only 40 mins away. I've most likely been past the place as I have done other bits round Preston. But can't remember off the top of my head.

If the price is right for a pair of bumpers I'd have some too ;) So your in the city centre campus? Didnt even know you could do engineering there! I was at Myerscough for a few years!

Looks like that bumper will be able to take a few shopping trolley bumps then! Dr E, if your in Preston, is that UCLan uni? Myerscough campus possibly?

Can't find much on this here or online. When I'm setting off one the engine has been warm for a while, after about 20-25 mins, the clutch seems to stick off on the pedal then bangs on and I get going. Doesn't bang in any other gears or when moving. The gear stick also goes very stiff. Like I'm...

after driving a new puma defender quite a bit, then buying a disco 300tdi, i prefer the disco, much easier to live with and will still work hard

I think I was just sick in my mouth a bit

I've got a disco 300tdi and I've recently been having trouble with the drives door catch. I have been having to push the lock button on the door for it to shut. Been doing this for a couple of months now. So I had some effete time and bought a new latch mechanism from bearmach. Easy enough to...

Mgw of a disco is approx 2.7t. Kerb weight is about 2 or 2.1t. With a steel body and tipping gear I think you'll be lucky for half a ton. That is if you don't overload the rear axle with 3/4 of the body behind the rear axle. You'll be blinding pilots if its loaded up.

Had £10k to spend on your landy, what would you do? You can't buy another one. You've got to spend it on the current vehicle. I'd completely rebuild mine and fit a tdv8 or other ample power plant!

Its that liquid snow stuff Expensive mistake!

Take the transfer box off first then gearbox. Will save a lot of hassle. If you have any decent lifting gear it will save your back.

Look at the terrafirma receiver hitches. Leaves a 2" box hole with a removable tovar plate which can utilised for other things too. It keeps it up out the way if you wanna do a bit of off reading too. I'm thinking of changing my Dixon bate to one of these.

Cool. Was it ledlightbars.co.uk you used? I can't seem to find any identical lights on there. A good flashing beacon is roughly similar cost but I like the look of the strobes.

Those strobes are smart. How much did they cost altogether? I'm after some oranges for mine and want something that doesn't add any height. I'd even pay for you to wire done in identical to yours.
