Anyone know what colour take5 s old v8 is? i need some paint in this colour.

I had a 16v astra gte a long time ago and free engine oil so i changed it every 2 weeks, after a couple of months the oil pump gave out at speed and by the time i had realised and stopped the engine it wa too late... engine cooked! Too much of a good thing ! I dont check miles when doing an oil...

john player special capri ..cant be more than 50 of them left nowadays?were they all black with gold wheels and gold decals?

I did this a few weeks ago and well worth the work. No need to change the ball joint and the springs are identical but have different prt numbers but will fit if needed. Also a good time for tidying up on yer chassis too.

I called into a parts place today for a rocker gasket,but the one the guy gave me is not the same as my original one which has a half circle at each end where the cam sits... ive had a quick look on pdx and it shows the same as the guy int shop had. its a 200tdi (disco) engine 1992.

I eventually found the answer i was lookin for in disco section (alternator wiring) which was by thee charlsey, but IT HAD NO SHOUTING IN IT;)

No i dont want to,but yes it would fit but it generates less amps. 200 alt is nearly new aswell,

Put a 200tdi in my 90 today and need a bit of advice off someone who has done this themself... the 90s alt' wiring has 2 thick brown wires and 1 smaller brown wire into a plug...200tdi alt wire has 1 thick brown and 2 thin white/mix wires. I dont want to melt anything by just trying all the wires!!

I fitted one to my 90 yesterday and it dont look any different apart from hubs looking smarter. fits staight on too.:)

sorted this problem at no cost!:)

But if you are a POLE angler i would suggest a 130 with a roof rack and a good size trailer :D

Thats why you put a roof rack on then its nice n roomy inside to play ont' fishin game ont' ps 2 while nite fishing. ALL HAIL THE INVERTOR!

I have bought a 200tdi and have to remove it myself i pick it up tommorrow its in a disco at the mo'. is it straight forward or is there summat i should know first? its a fair trek away so i dont want to make 2 trips to get it... also having rear axle is this as easy as it looks to get orf...

Axle ratios are the same, only transfer box is different. So yes it is bull. Cheers for that Stig, I also thought this till someone put a fly int' oinment:)

disco is 1.22 ..90 is 1.44 so ive been told.. and the end caps are not the same :confused:

I have bought a 93 disco rear axle to fit to my 1985 90 but someone has said that the ratio is differnt to the 90s front axle and i will also need a disco front axle too....... anyone done it ? is this true or is it bull? someone please put me straight:confused:

Spray GT85 all over it and dont wipe it off it will shine like new and if it hasn't already replace all your fixing screws with stainless ones.

I have got myself a 200tdi with everything, intercooler, rad, pwr steering ..well like i said everything. my question is this do i need anything else to make it fit my b reg 90. i know i need a down pipe conversion is there owt else... its a disco 200tdi by the way.
