Wiring wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be!

Hmm not that I know of? although the 300tdi is older i would be inclined to say its more environmentally friendly anyways, it gets 30mpg rather than the td5's 25 mpg also i can run the 300 100% on bio diesel where as the td5 cannot so not only am i recycling old veg oil and have around 1/2 the...

WOW! well I'm not much good at welding yet! hopefully I'll be able to do something like that :) good work!

these easy to get a hold of? they look awesome!

Hello there, I am here looking for some advice! I have a 200tdi Discovery which is suffering from rust, inner wings, front body mounts, headlight enclosures, rear arches etc... just ordered all the bits to re do the engine bay came to £380 just for metal.. friends have told me it's not worth it...

over heat sorry

it is possible the head is cracked! is there definatley water coming from the head? might be worth checking the water pump! sometimes these leak and they can empty the header tank very quickly... which then causes the vehicle to overhead... you will loose hot air if there is no water going...

timing belt really isn't that hard to do! can have it done in a few hours? I'd advise buying the tools and a Haynes manual and doing it yourself! even at cash price you'll pay a hell of a lot more getting someone else to do it.. going rate for cam belt is probably 3/4 hours of work - well that's...

as said above the glow plugs seal on a taper... try taking them out very carefully clean the thread try not to let anything go down the hole otherwise it'll drop into the cylinder, take the glow plug clean it off, copper slip the thread and put them back into the cylinder head. Hope that works!

Hi all, I have a discovery 2 which I am doing a 300tdi conversion on, bought the engine and was told it ran etc and was in good working order, I have since fitted it and found that the head gasket had gone, so replaced big end shells, piston rings, head gasket, glow plugs, valve stem seals and...

Finally got all my stuff sorted, the converted disco 2 is running and driving. However I seem to have an alarm problem and glow plug problem, the other day the glow plug light was coming on but now isn't and the alarm has started sounding, I wasn't given the 4 digit code when I bought the...

Im writing a manual at the moment which will have pictures when this is completed I shall be sharing it, will have to speak to my mechanical partner though as I think he'll want small donations to help towards the time of writing it etc

Yeah you can ive finally got the engine and gearbox in however it's now all the fuel lines/wiring that are going to be a pain

Just bought a disco 2 with a busted engine, head cracked so they had a new one put on then 600 miles later Conrod went through the block, I'm in the process of installing a 300tdi engine into it as mentioned the td5 is crap, I think this is where land rover really went wrong to be honest. Simple...

Cheers, yeah seems to be a lot of money breaking the things just taken a td5 disco engine apart as Conrod went through block, seems I'll get more for the cylinder head alternator and everything else if I sell seperatly than I paid for the landy itself! Don't have the room to break lots of them...

Unfortunately the local factors want way to much you would never see a profit even if you did have a trade account, probably ordering off the web would be best.

Haha had one sold it a few months ago

I'm good with people, I've always been good with money and work hard I have been working on cars since I was young and have a very keen interest in land rovers in particular I have hands on knowledge working with most land rovers up to the td5's and I think I could offer local businesses and...

I have checked at the moment they will not give me prices as they will not set up an account with me until I'm ordering £1500-2000 of stock each month

I'm 20
