    newark, notts
  1. Personally i would go old... we have an old herbert drill at work great for holes upto 3/4 inch with a twist drill bit but i have drilled 3 inch holes with a core bit... Cost around £300 with loads of taper drill bits. It is 3 phase but converting it to single would not be the end of the world...
  2. on the way to the retest rev the nuts of it when you get there take the air filter out and make sure the EGR system has been blanked off
  3. like he says it already has a lt230 transfer box so you are swoping like for like but make sure its from a discovery not a defender as the gearing is different also there is no hi/lo switch on the tdi ones and the HDC will need this to work
  4. is it not because you a fitting a different CC engine if you were only changing the engine number all would be ok but i because you are changing the cc they want i checking out but i have only no this hapen when it changes the tax class
  5. you will need to remove the hub assembly use good quality (genuine) bushes and they should last along time and they should only be changed 3 times before the axle is scrap
  6. got one of these to do mine last year an worked well used some socketts and and bits of scrap for some spacers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ball-Joint-Service-Remover-Separator-4x4-Adaptors-NEW_W0QQitemZ250515820882QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item3a53e81152
  7. this link shows how to fit the cable (ashcroft) type kit and the wiring mods for both kits http://www.discovery2.co.uk/diff_lock.html this shows how to fit the tdi kit http://www.discovery2.co.uk/D1_to_D2_cdl.html but if yo fit the high low selector of a tdi box no linkage mods are needed and fit a tdi rubber cover to the transmission tunnel for better sound proofing
  8. i have fitted tdi linkage to my td5 very easy and works well the hard bit is finding the bits to do it i had a 300tdi gearbox and transfer box (was going to convert them to fit my 90 but still only payed £130) so took the lincage off them but you will need the rubber cover off a tdi to go on the transmission tunnel
  9. sounds like they need changing i had to do 4 when i got my disco at around £60 each a haynes manual will help when doing this job as it does mean striping most of the door to get to them 1 top tip is make sure the locks and door handles work before refitting the glass and frame as there are adjustments that can be made what can happen is you can close the door and it wont open again if these adjustmens are wrong and can be a big PIA trying to get the seats out to get the door cards off
  10. defo no you will need to program the keys and the imobilser sync the speedo and set the EAK code
  11. that is the same as me when my 90 whent for a midnight drive with out me adrian flux were ok got the full insured value in the end and only 2 phone calls still with them and very good to deal with being a forum member will get you a 10% discount to
  12. your tyres are past the wheel arches thats a big no no
  13. engine out is the a bit easyer but not enough if you need a regas at the end on a 300 you can move the engine forword enought if you take the rad out (but dont no about the air con) but would still do the belt in the car
  14. only major if the bearing has gone but its just a simple job if its just the flange just remove the prop undo the bolt and swop them over with a new seal
  15. i fitted it to a disco with no problems but i have found this kit while trying to comfirm the part numbers that is a better price (with the same part number and look like the same kit) http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/timing-belt-modified-stc4096l-p-2345.html
