cheers guys will try and get the measurements from a normal 90 one forgot to mention mines a lwt so i may have a little bit more clearence if not i'll try to find a 110 one cheers

currently useing a series servo to assist with stopping has anyone tried fitting a rangy or 90 servo to a series pedal box brakes are ok but takes a lot of effort to stop (running rangy axles) cheers for any info Nick

if you have more lock then you'll probably need more cv's

Rochford is only 14 acres + the parking area still plenty to do

cheers guys

i'm sure there the 1/4 bsp think there less than a £

just want to double check was going to change the sump gasket on my 200tdi while i had all of the oil drained, called a few places and they said that theres no replacement for the gasket and that i should use some kind of mastic sealent is this correct ?

thats the extra pulley thing that i have looks astho it would be easier to use that and mounting bracket for the alt take it it doesnt really matter that the crank pulley has a bigger diameter than the power steering pulley ?

how did u manage to take a pic of urself then ?

someone i know recently had a really strange rumbling noise on his mota really sounded as tho it was the T box finally tracked the noise down to a bent rear axle which was putting loadsa stress on the diff , replacement axle all sorted would check the rear end b4 paying out that sort of money

has anyone got a pic of the aircon setup ?

can take the pulley off and weld another 1 onto it, wasnt sure if there would be any probs with the bearing in the pump from running somthing else on it my crank has the 2 v pulleys but using the back 1 looks astho it would be really close to rubbing on the casing (front 1 has the wather pump and power steering)

Anyone know if theres a double waterpump pulley for a 200 tdi disco engine want to move my alternator to the other side of the engine and was thinking about fitting a double pulley on the water pump, does anyone see any probs with doing this ? i have the extra pulley that fits onto the plate in front the diesel pump (guessing for aircon) would it be better to work off that some how ? Cheers Nick

cos its about 200 acres n all up hill

the shaft on a v8 5spd is longer than the diesel 1 not sure if its just the long stick boxes that were on the v8 4 spd boxes are stronger than the 5spd u could fit and o/d

ta thats my bit sorted

sorry but can i add a question what sort of ummmppphh do i need to do the tensioner upto my 200's also in lots of bits awaiting re-assembly

I 3/4 snapped a shaft at the diff end a few weeks ago couldnt get the bl00dy fing out ended up welding a long m10 both onto the end of the shaft then drilling a 10mm hole thro a piece of angle, put the angle onto the bolt then do the nut up and it'll pull the shaft out , ended up using an air gun cos mine had twisted about half a turn b4 it broke

from what i remember you would need any disco 300tdi axle's 200's are 10 spline and 24spline shafts dont fit a 10 spline axle (so i've been told) as far as i know there all the same width later 10 and 24 rear axle have both shocks pointing forward, on the later front axle the amount of bolts that hold the swivels on is increased to 7 from 6 (atleast you could tell if your mate has a later pair) Nick

i had the same prob no pressure on the pedal at all loadsa fluid in the pot decided to bleed it and now have loadsa pressure again still working so i'll keep spare cylinders n fluid in the car til it breaks again

what size tyres are you running ? i have a disco tbox on my 200tdi and 35's and unless i'm in the fast lane on the m25 i struggle to pull 5th gear (not played with the pump tho) 1st gear is good when you actually get moving but i wouldnt want to tow anything on the road with it

think the splines are the same but from wot i remember the shaft on a diesel is shorter than the v8 sure someone will know for sure

since fitting stupid size tyres (35's) i've done 4 diffs always the centre pin and 1 front shaft only done about 7 meetings personally i'd prefer to snap a shaft but thats only cos i'm running out of diffs even had the grinder around the rear (standard) shafts to weaken them and still not broken 1

my disco is a 97 300tdi just bought the cam belt kit from paddocks n they didnt mention anything about needing a kit would mine of been done by landrover as it has flrsh ?

i use mr flux aswell 30 (ish) no no claims as its a 2nd car coil sprung series with a cage, winch, lifted, 35's 6k miles limit £300 full comp
