A thermostat is an easy job mate. £350? Pullin the wool mate. I have a 300 tdi so don’t know much bout td5 but it can’t be too different to change out. Identify where it is and drain off the coolant a bit then undo housing to access the thermostat. Replace and put back in after cleaning faces of...

Bit of a long shot for you. My 300 was making a ticking kinda noise I couldn’t pin down. Took the belt off to start checking things and found a big chunk out of the belt. This was causing the noise. You’ve prob already checked your belt but just thought I’d say mate. ✌🏻

Wummin 🤷‍♂️🤬

Rebuild on my 1998 300 tdi 90 i found metric,imperial and BA sizes would you believe. LR must have had a lot of bolts n' nuts to use up.

All wheel steer…nice 😂

This may be happening because the friction plate is stuck to the flywheel. If you had it skimmed and its sat around for a bit then it might have got a bit rusty hence the plate sticking to it. You have described exactly the problem i had a few months back. I took the 90 into the yard and started...

Hello pal. That does look a wee bit rough. You’ll need to spend a lot of time preparing that prior to painting but it’ll come round. I bought a shielder bulkhead and have to say I thought the quality was good and I did not need to make any changes to it for my 300tdi 90. Straight on and all...

Here’s some advice boss…enjoy the rebuild 😎

Must have been a good s##g 🤷‍♂️

I would still paint it. New galv chassis and a coupla layers of good quality paint is only going to be a good thing. Did mine that way. Backed up high impact areas with some stone chip and raptor in other places. Good luck.

Migraine coming on trying to work this out…I’m better at carrying heavy weights over distance🤷‍♂️

Interesting to hear that too. Like I say lad I know reckoned it was about right. ✌🏻

Going to give this a try too. Only feel a little warm air.. no good if it snows eh.

It’s the 80’s and early 90’s for me I suppose mid 90’s on didn’t like it much. 70’s for me was growing up in Rhodesia and it was a bit ropey if you were white. Place had a few problems to say the least, folks could see what was coming. It’s cold up here tonight so I says to my mum ‘ why did you...

Hopeless in my 300tdi 90…new heating system works though when on winter drives. 😎

Series just been run again on one of the freeview channels. I knew a lad who was a brickie and he was in a squad of lads who were multi trade and had worked as a team in Germany…he said the series was about right on with the experience they had. Always thought it was an interesting look at life...

Auf weidersehen pet…fantastic series…very good example of Britain at that time.

That ain’t nuthin….if I need a bath I go for a drive in the rain in my old 90 🤙

Hey there, lot of good point made about the different advantages between the 90’s/110’s. If you’re going to do a bit of travel and need room hows about a Sankey size trailer for your camping kit. Free up loads of room too. I’ve used mine to camp too but as the lads on this have said you fill...
