Three weeks later, and the Disco starts like a brand new TD5 Disco 2 was supposed to be. In the eight years from 2004 to 2012, that Disco NEVER started as well as it does now, and often enough the brute wouldn't start at all unless towed. Discomania has explained in great detail what was done...

I have just been threatened by MOD1 who seems to call himself INTERNET POLICE. Wow that is SO SCARY. I am SO impressed. He says he is giving me a first and final warning and I will be permanently banned. Right now I am going to save him the trouble. As of this moment I leave LandyZone. Best...

It wouldn't be a huge problem. The WORST force involved would be a vacuum of about 12 - 13 psi, so if the aperture and butterfly was 3" diameter, the MAXIMUM force on the butterly would be about 85 pounds. The TD5 inlet aperture is 2½ inches across, so the maximum force would be about 60...

It has all gone very quiet on here, just when it was becoming interesting. What sort of hats does the MadHatMan like?

Mention that to James. He's the boy who likes to make the smart comments! He sent Re: help advice for sickly disco well at least it will fit you , be far too big for me to wear :D after I had made it clear it was done and dusted as far as I was...

Brain size is in direct proportion to head size James.

I regret to say I have no handbags. However, I do happen to have a fair collection of fancy hats. I will be happy to lend one to the loser.

Right .... the tappets are filled with oil, and they are designed to "leak down" very slowly. They should fill back up very quickly, possibly before the driver hears the rattle. They may fill up while the starter motor is churning away. There is effectively ZERO valve clearance when all is...

And what would I be chucking away? Sad, isn't it?

Did someone speak?

It would be SO easy. A simple round butterfly valve in the inlet manifold close to the engine, and a STRANGLER knob for the driver to pull out. It would do the job. The engine breather pipe would NEED to be further away from the engine than the butterfly strangler so the engine could not draw...

I have read the rules from end to end. It is all pretty much standard stuff, and there is no mention anywhere, directly or otherwise, that it is contrary to the letter or the spirit of the rules to publish part or all of a PM one has received, uninvited or otherwise. The expression PM...

I just want one or other of the Mods to give me a straight answer to that perfectly reasonable question. There may begin to appear a reason for reluctance . . .

No kidding? How would I UN-post an item? That would be like UN-writing Bible (or the Koran if you're a Moslem) Are you going to answer the question? Did you see the posts about my 101 ? "I need this idea out of my head" A very kind gentleman is offering to take it off my hands if I drive...

That would be fun. Del and I were just beginning to understand each other.

We will need to act quickly - it looks like they are going to ban me again. see the thread "help advice for sickly disco" the last couple of pages. I would have taken 76 FL 66 for a little run today but I didn't want to get mud on the tyres. Tomorrow I will rub down the gas pedal and...

I ask all you Mods, once again, please show me where in the rules there is any mention of it being a capital offence to post a PM that someone who received one thinks everyone should see. Once I have seen that and have been shown to be in error, the matter is over. I cannot for the life of...

personally, I think yu are trying to be banned again. That's your opinion, not mine. I'd be interested to learn on what grounds you have formed that opinion.

Remember, the TD5 engines have 5 cylinders but only 4 glow plugs. Don't even THINK about asking why! When the engine is started from cold, the FOUR glow plugs heat up, and the front FOUR injectors are triggered to fire in fuel. The number 5 injector doesn't become operative until the engine...

Yes Del, you are quite right. I write professionally, and they like it to be correct. But that's not to say I should be a smart-arse here, is it? Banned - James Martin was behind that. He sent me an uninvited PM, which I thought (and still do) that everyone on LandyZone deserved to be...
