Surely has to be something wrong if that is correct? That's quite horrendous:eek:

Fantastic work! Only wish I would be able to do a rebuild like this. Your English is much better than my Slovenian :D

No more than you deserve mate. You my just have built the finest Discovery 300tdi in existence. Take a bow, Sir.:cool:

It's under the car port :cool:

Looking for some advice. The scuttle panel on my '98 Discovery where the bonnet hinges attach are rotten. Could I remove the hinges and secure the bonnet with those rubber bonnet catches at hinged end ie, bonnet attached to wings and bonnet pins at lift up section? Hope this makes sense..

Not sure that it's that straight forward re-plumbing the pipes. You cannot tweak the fuel pump either; it's electronic in the automatic. All in all it's an old engine that's not designed for either speed nor outright power. You could also do a lot of damage to older engine components; is it...

Yep.

Can't wait to read that Rob. By the way, can you add me to list of preferred bidders when you sell it:p

Vote done Rob. Really hope you win.

Yes it is James, TE 110151. £1.59 for the stud, £3.50 delivery then VAT. Total £6.11

Found it.

I need to replace the bolt that goes through the tensioner. Any ideas of size / part number / where to buy one? Any help appreciated.

I need a new belt as the new one I had decided to shred itself. I was just about to order one (98 Disco) and it said fitted non a/c versions. As far as I knew there were two sizes, early/late models 1580/1595mm. Am I missing something?

Looks nice mate. We did a 600 mile round trip to buy what was described as excellent.. Came home empty handed and peed off. Lol.

After James' suggestion, I've been looking at this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231436746535?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT YouTube has some decent videos relating to it so I'll be giving it a try soon. Thanks all.

James, Brian, thanks for the advice. I'll check out the link you gave me James. Don't fancy replacing the whole housing

I've never used anything like that before; at best I'd be apprentice mechanic. How easy / difficult is this to do?

Terrible squeal coming from tensioner so decided to replace it. When the tensioner came out the bolt came out too. Anyway, put it all back together, new tensioner and belt. Pulled on the tensioner to fully seat the belt and the whole thing came off and pulled the bolt straight out too ripping...

That's some great work mate. Kudos.

Where are the temperature controls?
