Sold.

Well, you never know! If it doesn't fetch the asking price I'll hang onto it until the winter, which is the best time to sell Discos :D

Thanks for that - I'll drop him a line now :)

LOL - yep, I meant to say dropped by £100! ;)

Bump! Price dropped £100 - needs to go this weekend!

So are you interested in my one then? :)

Up for grabs is my 5-door, R reg 1998, 300tdi in Woodcote Green Metallic. The missus is insistent on going back to two cars, so this one has to go :( Gutted as i spent ages trying to find a decent solid one. I could do with it being sold before the Bank holiday next Monday as that's when the...

Thanks for that chap!

No doubt a daft question but are alloy wheels from a 200tdi are fully compatible with a 300tdi? Or not! :o

Mine wasn't working either when I bought it so, after checking the fuse and relay and then using a circuit tester made sure there was power getting to the motor itself (see below about tailgate being shut), I removed the motor. I stripped it down and found out it was well and truly seized with...

Thanks for the offer chap but I've surprised myself by managing to fix the old one this morning! Dismantled the whole thing again, cleaned up the brushes and greased everything - sorted! :D:D:D

Hi all Are the internal working mechanisms (particularly the motor itself) on a 200tdi rear wiper motor interchangeable with a later 300tdi? I've managed to clean up my 300tdi motor and get all the gear mechanism working smoothly again, but the brushes on the motor itself look pretty poor...

A mate of mine asked me to look at his faulty Disco 1 drivers window and when I took the door card off I found that the channel at the bottom that the window sits in had completely rusted away, only half of it remained and that fell off! From what I have read this appears to be a common problem...

Yep, they were a little. Now had black modulars fitted and put some air in the tyres ;) It was originally red and a previous owner has sprayed it black. However, paint is peeling at an alarming rate off the bonnet, maybe down to the heat of the engine? Here's a photo taken today, now with...

Definitely has strengthening braces fitted between the side windows and I've just checked the back ones too. There is quite a bit of movement if you apply pressure to them, so it looks like it must have had van sides originally and now has 6 windows fitted at some stage in it's eventful past...

It's a Jan 86 on a C plate. 2.5 NAD.

Am I being a real numpty here? Someone please tell me! Whilst cleaning my rear windows today, and please note I am a newbie 90/Defender owner (having previously owned a Series 2A and a Series 3 Lightweight), it has just dawned on me that I have different windows to any other 90 that I have seen...

Sorted! Bizarrely!! Topped up the reservoir and ran the engine for 30 mins. Clean as a whistle - not a puff of smoke:D. Temp back to normal, no leaks, and I re-checked the dipstick - no white muck on it :confused: Thanks for the tips. All back to normal and delighted not to have to be...

Thanks for that. Always had white smoke on start up, but thought that normal for a diesel 90!

I'd be grateful if someone could confirm this for me before I start stripping the head down! :( -Temperature gauge is almost into the red after 5-6 miles of driving -Found the coolant reservoir to be empty -Foamy white residue on the dipstick, but oddly not on the filler cap (which I...
