    New, really annoying high pitch squeeking

    Hi all. I washed my engine bay the other day, left it for a couple days to dry and today i fitted a new aux drive belt and i now have this loud high pitch squeek. It's not the belt as the reason for the new belt was that the old one was squeeking and its a different noise. It only does it at...

They are a 4x4 garage but specialise in...

    Haynes Disco mod manual

    The mod manual is ace. Great for learners like myself but it assumes some knowledge. It makes me want to spend thousands! p.s. that diesel engine manual good for amateurs is it?

    change body

    Good question. I've read loads of articles about similar projects and i'll be interested to hear what people say.

    Things I like about my TD5

    ****ed on his fireworks then! Discool appears to be a 'glass is half empty' kinda chap then? If you don't enjoy your discovery, sell it. This poor chap is just trying to lighten the mood of the forum when most people are talking about problems. Good on you mate. I agree, Disco's are ace...
