bugger rob any one know of a good local garage to daventry that can fit a ckutch job in this week??

hi all i picked up my disco on sat all ok drove 180 miles on sunday then yesterday started having big probs getting into gears now the full clutch was repleced last march (done 17k since) but the garage is saying the original warranty is with the purchaser not the car so its no longer valid?? is this correct? sounds wrong to me rob

we had yet more snow yesterday but raining again now

i have that size on the rangie but cant go that big with this rob

wow that vid will do that cars sales chances the world of good lololololol awsome off road abilities demonstrated there rob

coming along well as pauln said keep it coming rob

will be using the stock boost (i think lol) alloys rob

hi all i have got my self a 98 300 tdi manual its a great drive and all that but after my rangie it looks like its got mini wheels on it but swmbo says no lift or big tyres on this so im thinking of putting 255 65 16 tyres on it to try and fill the arches a touch more and as they are only 3mm taller she wont notice (lol yeah right) but will give it a wider footprint to look a bit chunkyer if you get what i mean but want to know if anyone else has put these on and do they rub any where?? rob

ebay strikes again another no contact bidder thought it was going to well lol rob

yeah well i,ve taxed worse rob

thats just what i wanted to hear thanks chap that was the assumption i had also made so its nice to have a second opinion on these things lol rob

well i got my disco today and its a 98 model year as it has the high level stop lamp and the black boost alloys mine has 4 stop/tail lights but only 2 indicators in the bumper??? is it a plug and play job of just changing the rear upper lamps or will i need to run wires to the lamps too? rob

i cant belive what late model classics are selling for at the moment mine is doing better than i had thought it would tbh too B) rob

i got them off a guy on ebay who had lots of them (i belive all sold now tho?) and i never fitted mine as im selling the car to get a diesel but have just sold them on rob o and welcome aboard chap!!!

whats the difference on the transfer box? what other mods should it have over a older one? rob

hi all the tdi 300 i tried yesterday seemed a little stiff to go from 2nd to 3rd when very cold anfter doing the shift twice eased up fine ?? is this normal and just wanting a oil change or the start of something a bit more serious?? as a side note its a 98 r reg es so would i be right in thinking this will have a r380 gearbox?? thanks rob

looks like it will be getting the cambelt done sooner than i thought then still it needs a water pump anyway so have a one hit day on it rob

well it was done 4 years and 35k miles ago so will probbe ok for a while then thanks rob

hi all whats the age/milage intervalfor a 300 tdi cam belt change? its a 98 manual if that makes any difference rob

add me to the general at2 love camp seem very good in the light 2 inches we have here rob

this happens alot on trucks causing exactly this problem where i would look first rob

well the one i looked at had a leaking fuel tank and rotten fuel pipes so skip that one then lol and a noisey clutch release bearing too but drove ok in a soulless way and seemed to pull well so wouldnt mind one now lol rob

well this pretty much seals the deal then looks like im swapping the rangie for some ugly as sin isuzu pooper lol rob ps what sort of job is the cambelt on one of these????

wow looks like the rangie might be making way for a pooper then so is the mileage of 127k nothing to worry about with one of these then?? rob

yes i know the shame is killing me does any one know how reliable a izusu trooper is? the car in question is a 95(ish) 3.1 td swb manual with 127k on it any problems to look for? are they a good strong tow car? i know they are not in the same interior comfort league as the rangie but i cant have every thing thanks chaps rob
