Excellent, cheers for your input guys! I'll go down and view it, tap around the back end check it's solid. It's under budget so I'll spend the change on a professional waxoyling.

Well in that case I might as well go and check it out then! Taking a screwdriver :D

He says the same. I'll be honest though, I wouldn't really be able to tell! Hence calling upon those who do actually have a fcking clue :D Surface rust can just be waxoyled and fixed, right? It's a bit under budget as it is so it's tempting to just buy it and get it treated properly with the...

Looking at this TD5. I don't know much about rust treatment, but obviously this isn't a good sign. I was thinking to get some professional waxoyling with hard wax etc done, would that cure this or has it gone too far and should be avoided? It's also starting to rust on a door...

Well at least I've got company eh :D Mmm, signs seem to point at a no, but finding the first bull bar was so much of a mission I wanted to try my best!

No? :D

I've got the wrap around soft bull bar on my 300tdi, getting a TD5, will I be able to just swap it over, any idea?

Cheers but having just taken a td5 out for a test drive, I'm getting one :D Had the 3 holes where the bungs shot out filled in with ally, will do for a few days then I'll decide what to do with it. and.. THANKS MINTY AND REDHAND :D

Oh right, not quite as clean as I'd like to replace my beautiful disco with tbh :D

The grin said otherwise to me haha :D Well, I'd be interested in details! Currently shopping..

Am I taking it from that it's a bag o ****e? :D

Right, text my mate asking in non laymans terms (its ****ed mate, new engine :D ): "Rubber plugs have blown out the top of the block just above where the camshaft runs through the block. Oil is pouring from the holes. Also breathing heavily from oil filler cap. Takes 15 seconds of cranking to...

The selling bits is a bit of an issue, I live in a flat with sod all parking outside, and very little mechanical knowledge :D I'll bear that in mind though, and the theft thing, cheers.

I won't be joining for a while. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/dead-disco-300tdi-198679.html Anyone selling a nice disco locally? Or want to buy one with a ****ed engine? :D

Took my disco to my mate to check the oil leak as had gotten really bad. He's told me the bottom end is fkd basically, pressurising to the point it's shooting oil out all over the shop, blew 3 bungs on the engine, spraying it out. So, if I get a second hand engine, it could be a heap of...

Lol whoops. As you can see this has made me lose my sanity somewhat :D Would have been fine if I could have got to the f#cking bulbs easier!

No, I mean the bottom light of the cluster. Bumper lights working fine. One headlight's stopped working now ::)

Seems he can only go all or nothing with the throttle? Da ****.

:d

MOT time for me so I'll give it a miss for a bit
