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
-
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.
-
Speedflow are another place to try.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

I remember being told a company called Wrington Engineering made wheel nuts. Not sure if theyre still going.

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.

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.

It looks like the strip that holds the door seal is missing.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.

I've got a 86" If you're really stuck I can run it up your way. Its not very standard but everythings in almost the right place.
-
I've done just that. It will all fit but you will need the spacer as well. Will measure it tomorrow for you.
-
Cheers. I thought you could but never seen it done.
-
Is there anything stopping you using all the Discovery rods and bolting the damper on the diff nose? I want to do the same and have a scrap Disco to pinch the bits from.
-
If its the universal32 engine/hydraulic/gearbox type stuff. Some engines I've used it in like to drink it but its cheep enough to just keep topping them up.
-
I run 235/85r16 on my 300tdi Disco its made the gearing a bit too tall to tow nicely.
-
Just 2 or 3 good hits with a sharp chisel usually splits the nut. No need to drill or grind anything first.
-
you can have 60% of wheel base past back wheel, so that will be about 55" past the centre of the back wheel.
Where would i find the regs for the overhang? Im about to do the same.

There was "terra-tagging" or something going on a week ago. Had a farmer come into work for a bit of welding and he was moaning about how dirty his tractor got towing stuck things out of holes.
