Hi everyone. Haven't been on here for a while as I now have 3 series and lightweight project on the go at once. The latest addition is a lovely and rather original 79 109 station wagon that's driving ok actually and just needs some tlc. Anyway, it has some 'lurching' when accelerating in 1st or...

Have a quick query folks. Series 3 with 12 j engine fitted. One of the old 2.25 engine mounts was replaced on chassis to fit the 12j. I'm new owner and want to fit a 200tdi. Does anybody know if the mounts will need changed back to original spec....or altered further....or straight swap? Cheers

Thanks mate...I gotta hand to them...this thing drives waaaaay better than an old 4x4 should though!! Very very comfortably sits at 80 on motorway if needed without any sign of nearing its limit or with any vibration etc etc and once you hit 11-1200 rpm pullimg away it's like a bat out of...

Does anybody know what the factory/standard settings are for the 200tdi fuel pump???? Previous owner has tweaked the one on this new disco...it goes like heck...and I really mean that. Its surprisingly quick. But it does have 238000 miles on it...reliability is more important to me than power...

At the risk if getting abuse, I've decided to post on here anyway as I'm sure there are a few who may have or know of others selling a non LR 4x4. Basically on the search for a little Fourtrak Fieldman Something roadworthy with good body panels that can be driven daily straight away, not a...

Well flip I didn't find anything at all on Google search! But thank you...I appreciate that. You do internet search for dummies courses by any chance? I could be your first student!

No I cant find a single exploded view on google no matter how I play with the search words...it will give me master cylinder parts diagram for every other 4 or 2 wheeled vehicle on the planet but none for a disco. Cant believe the Haynes has it!!! Have one on order but tbh didn't think it would...

THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS. Finally managed to locate part number required using the links. Couldn't afford (didn't want to spend) the price of original part etc and didnt want a cheapy britpart replacement so opted for Bearmach rtc5834r brake master cylinder repair kit. However...theres a LOT...

Anybody? Locally have 2 shops telling me yes exactly the same and 1 telling me no, different. Trying to find out as 300tdi ones are selling much cheaper so if its same fit then Id like to try and save a few quid.

And in fact if anybody knows what all is interchangeable and what's not would be a great help. Lots of 300tdis being broken locally bit 200tdi is a rare beast in my neck of the woods. Would be handy to know. Lots of conflicting info elsewhere online and from locals. Been wrongly informed into...

Can anyone tell me if the brake master cylinder on the 200tdi is same as 300tdi? Or same as any Defenders etc? I've been told one or 2 are the same. It's just to aid in ordering as finding a lot of advertised 300tdi ones way cheaper for same brands etc.

Today whilst driving...all of a sudden power steering was feeling 'off'. From centre a wee touch either way was going 'stiff' for a second then fine again then the odd stiffness again for a second. But proper rock hard stiffness. Getting worse throughout the day...to the point it was starting to...

Should rephrase it to...engineering mecca we ain't!!!

Ok well, I just wanted to say... The bits I was using when I first started this thread were brand new. I have since bought some of the Dormer bits as suggested. They have turned what was a nightmare into a piece of cake. So thankyou. Oh and regards the topic of disappearing skills...try it...

I must be mad but.... Deciding on Monday that I am going to stop messing and do a full nut and bolt resto on my Landy... I decided I needed to get a runabout for now Hey presto...found myself a disco 200tdi for £600. Wasn't looking for a Land Rover at but it just popped up and we really don't...

That's the sort of feedback I half expected. Thanks folks.

Well, what do you reckon folks...worth the extra few quid for somebody just looking for a good quality durable wide angle prop set up??? Be very interested to hear some user feedback since this forum seems to be the only place I can get honest info.

Ok so after some user opinions... Getting this Land Rover finished off. Just noticed my shocks are knackered and the springs have seen better days. Its time for replacements. I'm pretty sure they are just the Supergaz (Britpart) jobbies (on when bought). And to be fair they have lasted. I run...

Well, lots of feedback on this so thanks everyone. In answer to earlier questions... Using a hand drill on slow speed Nope...ashamed to admit not using a cutting liquid - really didn't realise this was necessary for small jobs with hand drill...oops! Trying to drill 8mm and 13mm holes in mild...

Can anybody suggest some good quality drill bits that will last more than a few goes in 3-6mm steel? I am currently using gold coloured cobalt bits but they seem not much better than the standard hss black ones.
