  1. Dont know if they'll post but Tom Day in Keynsham will do the work.
  2. The plate Ive got was sold to me by paddocks as a 130 plate is 235mm in diameter and the only numbers i can see on it apart from the date is 367739
  3. Ive got a plate somewhere I'll try and find it over the weekend and see if there are any numbers and get some measurements.
  4. Speedflow are another place to try.
  5. If you're going to use a tractor ring hitch check that it fits the nato hitch. I was going to make a solid towing bar and none of the rings we use at work will fit a nato hitch.
  6. Might be obvious but leave the clutch out when you mock it up. It makes it a lot easier to bolt the engine to the gearbox.
  7. It might be more than you want to spend but I took a chance and got myself these for work and cant really fault them. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item564b840630
  8. I remember being told a company called Wrington Engineering made wheel nuts. Not sure if theyre still going.
  9. I quite like the cheepo tiger ones. I've tried more expensive ones but they all last about the same amount of time. Being cheeper they're a little bit thinner so its easier to feel the filler.
  10. The 48-53 parts book is too early. In the 54-57 parts book it shows them 13 & 15 are the missing bits. Sorry for the bad phone pic.
  11. It looks like the strip that holds the door seal is missing.
  12. Just watch what you're paying. I rebuilt a series gearbox/transfer box recently and my local bearing place wanted £120 for a timken bearing that I could get from all the usual places in the same timken box but with a bearmach sticker on for about £35.
  13. Yeah its got instructions how to use it but a colour swatch type thing would have been nice for dummys like me. Like you say it looks greener but could still be blue if that makes sense. Anyway I tried it again this morning and it turned almost Land Rover green. The header still had water in but the plug in the thermostat housing took half a gallon! Thankyou everyone for all your help.
  14. Cheers gents. Looks like i'll just keep an eye on it and see if I really am loosing water. Its been idling a bit lumpy for a while and for the past week my cheapo chinese exhaust gas temp guage is showing hotter temps so i'm getting paranoid about things.
  15. Got myself a sniff test kit because I think the coolant's dropping on my 300tdi Disco. Having never used one before can some one who has please tell me if this is a positive for exhaust gasses.
