Well after stripping it down I realised I couldn't afford the bits I needed to rebuild... so I finished uni, got a job and hopefully will be making some progress now. The engine's gone from this to this I bought the alternator mount kit from steve parkers and started on the repairs...

It's sold now sorry.

Sorry I thought i had wrote that i was after £850 for it

The spares worn out but the rest have got a good few mm left on them. It does look like they need a bit more air in the pictures though. Do you think it's too expensive then? I'm not really sure what its worth

When mine was doing that it was the switch that was dodgy, they are easy enough to pull apart and clean up. But if youve swapped it for a working switch and its still not working it could be the ECU you can pull them apart and resolder the joints if they are dry.

1995 Discovery 300TDI in Birmingham (B23) 2 inch lift with extended braided brake hoses "camel cut" bumpers and wheel arches 7 seats no sun roof - no leaks! 5 months MOT Tax until 7/12 It is tatty but solid, has been used as a workhorse and off road toy so is dirty and has some...

If youve replaced the ECU and checked the switches its probabaly the motors, they used to fill up with water and die.

ah ok. that was going to be my next question if noone had any.

Has anyone around Birmingham got any clutch bolts for a 200tdi going spare? I can only find 4 of the ones I took off....

Depends how much postage is......

Well that will save me some effort thanks. I'll still use the studs I've put in though Should get the engine in this week then if the rain stays away for a few days

Have you got any of the front props left? How much is postage to birmingham B23? Thanks

Yeah I've been washing the parts when I've taken them off, it's at an aunts garage and she's out most of the time so she just left me with keys for the garage so I havent got any water there. @NiteMare I read that it leaked a lot of oil from the rear crank seal if I didnt put a few bolts in the...

Well the engine's out now and I'm prepping the 200tdi to go in. I've drilled out and taped the holes for the studs but i havent got a drill big enough to bore out the other holes. If I grind a slot into the casing so the bolt fits will mud and water get in and destroy the clutch? Am I better...

Has anayone got a 200tdi flywheel and flywheel housing going spare??

Finally made some progress... Doors and one wing are off to make it easier for access, engine is almost ready to come out just got the bellhousing and the engine mounts.

The coil is missing and it hasnt been run for a few years but it does turn over so guess i could just get a new coil and see if it will run. It needs a new ignition switch too because I lost the keys...

lol it does need a good wash its got a flat tyre and its not running though so the only way I can get it in and out is to pull it out then push it back in with my discovery. Sounds a bit dangerous on my own... I've been cleaning the bits I've taken off and eventually I'll have to turn it round...

I've starting rebuilding a series 3 SWB and thought i would post a few pictures up and have a place i can ask all my stupid questions. I'm only a student so it will be built on a tight budget but it looks solid underneath, just really really dirty. :) This is how mouldy the windows...

Series 3's were made 1971–1985 according to wikipedia...
