Hi - my 1993 200tdi had an aftermarket alarm and drivers side actuator fitted, which is buggered. I've got hold of a RR actuator that has 5 wires and can see the original loom had 4 wires. I think the 5th wire was for an optional factory fit remote key fob, so can be left taped up (but...

Having my air-con charged the other day I was chatting with the mechanic who said I should blank off the EGR. I said it was a 200tdi and it didn't have one - so he pointed out the bleedin obvious that's been staring me in the face all this time. It's LHD, so perhaps it was an export thing...

they're the 17" they have on offer. Italian ARC Sport wheels. Twisted have the UK concession.

yep, as pointed out by someone else, direct kit now for the 200 front end. Mine are SVX lights, supposedly better than RDX but have no idea what the difference is - chose them on the basis they were the only ones they had in LHD. At the mo they're LHD adjusted for RHD roads, and as such were...

beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that - I wanted the whole dash flocked, but they couldn't turn it around in the time scale I had. This was the next best thing - the centre stereo pod (which will also get a boost gauge) is smooth metal and covering it and the dash pod in acoustic...

Thanks to a lot of info provided on this forum and elsewhere I've just finished (well, is it ever) pimping my old 200tdi Discovery. Had her for 9 years and she's been a star. Been a builders truck, winter snow wagon (I live in the mountains), people carrier and more recently duty as a...

Mine was a leaky screen seal - coming in at the corner at the base of the A pillar. Don't leave it any longer otherwise you'll have more than damp carpets to worry about! Seal all the way round starting at the top middle and running a bead under the rubber.

Looks like the fold down mechanism is different so I wondered if anyone had put these in a 200tdi with the TD5 mechanism and plastic gubbins on the side panel, if you know what I mean. Obviously not a straight swap, but has anyone looked into this? Or is the metalwork completely different...

Is it much more of a pain getting in and out with the high side bolsters? Nick

I guess most people here are ripping their carpet out to make dedicated off roaders, but has anyone seen or bought the carpet kits listed on Rimmer Brothers? Or know of another? And would a 300tdi carpet fit a 200??

Is that a "why?" If so it's because I've decided to keep my old Disco and tart her up a bit for another good few years use.

Hammerite is pretty **** these days, better off with a 2 part epoxy paint such as this: Rustbuster

If you pardon my French I'm going to have mine flocked.

I live in a valley of 500 about inhabitants - just found on the other side a HUGE open sided barn with about 30 classic range rovers and half a dozen p38s. It was a hive of activity restoring/repairing them and when asked if they had a complete AC system for my Disco (which I suggested was the...

BFG's - always worth the premium IMO as they last so much longer with no downsides.

yes I am, and yes I do - thought I'd made that crystal clear, but thanks for your insight, didn't know about the final drive difference.

I've got a manual 200tdi and today I drove a manual 300tdi, 2 years younger ('95), same miles. Apart from it being gutless, which I'm sure a good pump tweak, egr/cat removal will sort, it felt heavy and ponderous. Steering felt quite a bit different, stodgy, less direct - I thought they were...

I tried that with mine - made no difference.

I've had the same and have just been driving round the problem. Is the flexible pipe between the bulkhead and the slave made of rubber? On other cars I've experienced these breaking down on the inside and closing up, which would obviously prevent getting a well bled hydraulic line.
