  1. I promise that if you haggle with us - you will get a discount, but you might have to be persistent as I quite enjoy the haggling bit! Remember to stay polite and friendly whoever it is to and it will work!

    Thanks for the tip. See you on the next show :D

  2. This is the correct spelling: http://www.lr-meteor.nl/

    We also had problems with dad's TGV. Did great in the donor Disco on the 2000 mile test drive with only having 40.000 miles on the engine. After swapping it to the Ninety it dit great for 5000 miles also, until it died in just a normal 50 miles an hour drive on the highway. No signs of failing before, coolant temp and oil temp and pressure all ok. Brought the car to Prins Maasdijk, who discovered the last piston cracked in 2 pieces, probably due to a failing injector.

    No warranty as third owner of the engine and no paperwork with it. But they did a pretty nice deal on a new TGV engine after leaving the failed one there.

    Hope my own TGV, also out of a Disco donor, doesn't have that kind of problems in my 110. Is your car still in Holland? Might be an option to leave the car at Prins for them to check it out.

    Good luck sorting out!

  3. Try somewhere on the continent. Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Italy... But you're not the only one looking.

    A friend of mine has a complete dash and heater from a 1984 for sale, but he's not cheap either. People here are importing more and more UK cars so the demand for LHD conversion parts makes the prices go up to crazy levels also.

  4. The rear axle linkage differs. The difference in wheelbase might be confused with the more rear overhang a D2 has compared to a D1.

    Not sure on what the wheelbase on a D2 is though, but if it really is 108" you can try to fit it on an LSE chassis? Some early classics were lenghthened also, for example some ambulance conversions.

  5. Have decided on the Gwyn Lewis Challenge kit. And am going to fit my standard axles and build up the other axles once my trucks on the move and swap once completed. So ill basically start from empty casings, so ill definitely need that list Aragorn!

    Just like the plan on my 110. Will stick with rear salisbury though, but converted to discs. Can the list be put online maybe?
