Snickers floor layers are like kneeling on pillows. I use them at work for kneeling on the Kennedy grating and they are amazing.

I was just reading this thread and was going to add with a NPT tap don’t go the full way up the tap. It’s tapered so, ideally test fit probe and tap a bit as required. hats off Stephen you’re some man for making them

That engine will need the bottom end looking at. It’s got a bottom end knock. We swapped it out with a spare we had in the shed and didn’t look any further into it. the pump has a fourby boost pin in that we left on. since moved the landy on now.

No chance of picking something up with 12 months MOT that you can use while you fix it up?

It might be useful to post up a budget. I’m always keeping an eye on market place and I know a local mechanic whom has all manner of hardware through the door. I’m happy to pass on any potential vehicles. I’m west wales for reference

I think you’ll struggle to find a TD5 Discovery that has any life left in it for £1k. Most the ones around here are nails and well used and abused. I can’t help but think, put your time and money into doing a good rebuild of the spare 200 tdi. plus this will save the hassle of breaking and getting rid of the stuff you don’t want ( assuming you go td5 route)

This is sound advice. You could discuss tdi vs td5 all day long and then some. buy on condition

I’ve had a cheapo copy Makita 18v impact for a few years now. It’s not killed any of my genuine Makita batteries and still going strong. For the money it’s perfect for dirty jobs and handy for nut running etc. -
