  1. I have the disc fitted to my Defender and can endorse it fully , but have some friends with Discos who have had some problems with space to fit the caliper .
  2. This was posted on Hants. & Berks Response yesterday & subsequently on Pistonheads , Mercedes 190 & FWDC forums .
  3. No pictures worth showing . Bum photographer . You wouldnt beleive me if I blamed the camera . Will do better next time .
  4. I have some 3mm stuff your welcome to have a lump of . Its not in the best condition , but might serve ur purpose .
  5. I will be there . Defender 110 300TDi with all the knobs & whistles .
  6. Where you at Stretchie . Got a 10mm wire that Ive recently taken of a winch . You are welcome to it if you can come and get it .
  7. Why did LR fit the Torx plug other than to focus attention on TF being used in a manual gearbox . Have heard of several instants where hypoid was used anyway , with disasterous results .
  8. Have to agree . Didnt do the event justice .
  9. Whoes looking at the wheels , I want the cannon , Now that would realy be the business .
  10. Fitted Paddocks version to my 300TDi 110 approx. 5000 mls. back . Most of this distance touring in Eur. on the black stuff but about 300 mls. off road mainly lanes with some more serious bits here & there . No problems so far . A press , particularly for removal , is a big help .
  11. 1994 300TDi CSW 105k . Replaced just about everything except engine and diffs. and even the engine has some new bits , rocker shaft , rockers and push rods .
  12. Always wanted one from a very young age , dont know why as there is no history of mental illness in the family . For one reason or another it never happened although I drove series 109s at different times through work . I eventually got "the one that I want" with retirement on the horizon and have been from the sands of the Sahara tothe mud of the Baltic in it . Was a long time coming but Ive never enjoyed anything more .
  13. Welcome Ali , just love driving in sand , not so sure about driving in pudding though !!!
  14. I have a 94 110 CSW that leaked the oil from the leveler on a trip through Spain . Caused a bit of pukkering as it looked like the diff. seal had blown . Had it removed on return to the UK & was told it should have been removed when heavy duty springs were fitted . Has since been all through Eur. with full load and no handling problems .
  15. Looks like everybodies got the problem including me , but nobodies offered a permanent fix ?
  16. They get the thumbs up from me . They manage to get it right even when it could be a one or other situation such as the Def. clutch slave and if they dont get it right you get the other return of post . Cant say fairer than that .
  17. My understanding of the situation is that when the explosive demand for diesel vehicles took off , the oil companies in this country did not expand their refining plant too keep pace with demand . This combined with a government who lets them do what they like , has led to a fuel which is easier to produce than petrol and gives you more bang for your pound , costing more than petrol . So its only another rip off , what else is new .
  18. For those who have a problem deciding who has right of way at roundabouts , a trip to South Africa will bemuse them even more . There mini roundabouts also have stop signs , which is supposed to indicate first come has right of way from whichever direction . Quite disconcerting initially , but you quickly learn as the S.A. drivers leave you in no doubt about their feelings if you get it wrong .
  19. Just back from a trying trip to South Africa & trying to catch up with the happenings only to be thoroughly confused by GLP , this is Getting out & about , isnt it ?
  20. One broken rocker & four bent push rods (changed them all just to be sure), as well as a new belt & gasket , that was my recent expense . Also fitted crank shaft sprocket with shrouds .
  21. I see there is a thread for off-road pics for "Pumas", so thought Id start one for 300TDis. Lets see what youve got !!!
