Hey Kevin Yeah I haven't done much about selling it yet, I was going to advertise it this weekend but got busy. I think around £4500 it's very original asides from the upgrades like the coil springs, uprated steering damper etc. I have done quite a lot of miles for work since buying it in...

Thanks guys will have a look in these areas. It’s a real pain in the arse, now it’s ACE issues are fixed I can have a real dig around and find it.

Hello all. Just testing the waters really, thinking about a series. My Mrs and I are now going to move to the canaries end of the year (ahead of schedule). I was going to keep the disco and maybe even bring it with me to the island (see loads out there), but realistically it’s not going to be...

Sorry Andy just realised I never put V8. So I’m assuming there is no suck weak joint as mention on the fuel rail.

Thanks Andy that’s very useful I will have a look there and see.

So I had a little leak from my water pump, when that was replaced I then developed another, and I haven't been able to track it down. no signs of head gasket going on the V8 so far, and coolant seems to be running down and under the block to the sump in the pick. That’s the bottom beneath the...

Ok so for the future anyone that needs to know. You don’t need the pulley wheel for the V8, you just buy the non ACE belt and remove the ACE pump job done. It needs a long test drive but the landys back up and running, thanks all.

Not sure why I didn’t find this before, but just seen it. So looks like I just use the new belt I have bought and not the pulley, so just ignore the missing ACE pump. the confusion here is that most places, even the kits included a pulley replacement part and tell you that you need it. I guess...

what belt did you fit and did you use the pulley wheel I place of the ACE, or just ignored it and fitted they NON ACE belt?

Soo mystery I bough a pulley and started fitting it today but it turns out the block under the pulley is shimmed and extends 3mm out of the tunnel in places. The pulley wheel is shimmed to receive it, but In opposite locations?. Im guessing there “IS” a V8 and TD5 difference then as the spacing...

Thanks guys for all the input. Ordering the pulley the belt and fan removal tools today. I was originally going to bypass the ace system by connecting the pump back to itself, but it wasn’t going to be quite as simple as it sounds. So I have just decided to remove the pump and add the pulley...

thanks mate, spotted that but I would need a different belt. The pulley looks identical to the advertised TD5 one, so I’m going to assume they will fit either V8 or TD5

Thanks dude. The idler goes in the same mountings as the pump?, so bolt it back in its place. Does the idler pulley need to be v8 or will Td5 be ok as long as it’s Aircon.

Starting a new thread for those of you that contributed on the old one, though asking a more direct question made more sense. So after investigations I have found my leaking pipe and decided frankly that I can live without the ACE. What is involved with the fitting of the pulley wheel, I...

And also when you say “hoes” I guess you mean a hydraulic pipe section?.

Ok well that’s definitely worth giving a go then. I will lose most of the fluid n the system and need to be carful of contamination of the lines, but what about fill the system and bleeding it after?. Will that be something that a landy garage/dealer needs to do?

Soooo it’s clear what it is now, it’s a hair line crack on the lower pipe to the block. And I believe the lower pipe is the hardest to replace is it not?. Is there any chance of cutting it out and adding another piece of pipe with two piece ferrule' compression fittings etc?. Any good links to...

Well I found the issue, a massive leak on one of the pipes Into the block on the chassis rail. Now I will have to figure out what to do about it.

I am going to put halfords power steering and transmission fluid in it for now as it meets the Dexron 2-3 requirement. I obviously have a major leak so don’t see it staying in there long anyway. And that way I can test the issues.
