Hi everyone, as the title says,has any one fitted a 300 intercooler into a 200 tdi discovery,the only reason i'm asking is that my standard intercooler is shot and i can get a 300 alisport one from someone i know. I know the outlets are in different positions and was wondering if there is a lot of work involved in the pipe mods
any help appreciated

Think i'll just use the old one.if i hadn't taken it off i would have been none the wiser about the crack.Couldn't believe that price!!!
ps just gone onto the site,they do a pattern part for £50 +vat but unsure whether to get it or continue to use what i've got.the crack is quite long but i dont know how long it has been in there,may be worrying for nothing and not sure what would happen if it got worse and failed

hi everyone,whilst doing my cambelt i noticed that the crankshaft damper behind the crankshaft pulley has a crack in the main part next to the woodruff key slot.i would like to change this part as there is also a groove in the shaft where the oil seal has worn away.does anyone know where i can get one of these. also whilst i'm on,would aftermarket gaskets and front cover oil seal be ok or should i try to get genuine,oil seal i can get but gaskets all seem to be aftermarket ones.
thanks Martin

some one bought our camper for £10,000 in cash.we both went to my bank and they counted it out and checked all the notes were genuine.The buyer suggested that we do this for peace of mind for both parties.

cheers nige.i'm thinking of changing them for something bigger anyway,33's or maybe even 35"s.just cant make up my mind which brand to go for.i mainly go to pay and play days with my son (ricky tango) but he thinks that i should go for something with an aggresive tread pattern only running standard diffs,no lockers etc. most of the aggresive ones have a low speed rating,so i'm not sure whether bfg km2's for eg would pull me through the mud as well as say insa turbo's
it's ok for him with all of the gadgets in the axles
