If your timing belt had gone then you would hear alsorts of strange noises when you spin the engine over (piston clouting valves etc) i would say its more likely its slipped. but hard to tell if you were driving along with no faults is your lift pump lifting fuel? is the fuel solnoid opening? with bonnet up should be able to here it click when u turn the key to the point before starting is the engine turning over when u turn the key? i am resenable local (near hemel) and have the timing kit tools, but sadly i dont have a car at the moment if your not in a rush then i can help

i used the disco one on my conversion seam to fit and work ok

mily head like look like this u can get plastic cover but thye require some trimming

Hi a friend of mine wants to wire in some extra cigy lighter socket into his td5 as so my question is is there a ignition live in the battery box with the fuses if i find one do i need to place a relay between the ignition live to the new fuse board ? or is that just silly?

same as the ex mil nads but they have drums on them

You have a pm

my friend had ths problem with his and in the end we found the pulley that bolts to the IP (injection pump) was cracked accross it face and on idle was opening up and giving him white smoke, check there no cracks accross the face of the pulley

why not just use a NAD or TD one saves all the pratting about

Two friends of mine have 285

no the seat base doesnt remove but if u mount them right u can pull the chair all the way forward to get to the seat box. if your handy with an angle grinder then no problems fitting the seats u just need to cut the feet off and get back to the seat runners

i ve got rover 220gti seats

i took the angle grinder to mine and the the down pipe off and nuts then just used mole grips to get the studs out of the turbo

hers mine in matt black paintedusing a roller and a tin of international black board paint

I fitted one of those grey plastic things to my mod 90 fitted ok witht he mod lighting panel will be interested to see pics of you mud dash fitted with the mod switch

i used a td system on my 90 but i didnt buy the middle box but two intermiate pipes and shortened one and reweleded the flanges on sounds sweet now

Hi friend of mine has a 2.5nad in a 90 the nut came undon that holds the sprocket on to the pump as so it jumped a few teeth on the pump apart from that the timing was correct which was lucky. i ve looked at the pump and it seams ok the front seal was damaged as was the key in the key way. repalaced these. the engine starts well but alot of blue smoke which turns to a very sooty smoke once warm, does this mean the pumpis buggered and he needs a new one? or is there something else that is wrong

paddocks do this part for series cant see it being to much different http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/SERIES/Chassis/Door_pillar_repair_section_LH.html

My disco 200tdi which i rebuilt last year has a very annoying tapping sound, i ve chcked the tappets and they needed adjusting which i ve done according to the manual, but still the noise continues i cant really figure out where its comeing from, it does die down as the engine warms up and also get quiter the higher up the rev range you go more so when the turbo is boosting. i have an oil pressure guage and the reading i am getting are around 40 55 psi on start up and heavy acceleration but once the engine is warmed up it can at idle drop to 13 to 14psi i ve been banashed to my room and told not to work on it due to slipping two disc in my neck, but any help would be great, i am worried its a bearing slippd on the crank shaft but i really hope not as i wont have the tme to work on her any more soon

u no about rotating the pump ?

u have well over tweeked the pump i did mine and was getting 8-11mpg i ve now turned it back a bit and back to 27+ on arun

i dont think i have any left i ll have a look see

hi its hospital grade vinyle matting i had a roll left over from a job i did it cuts easily and bends easly to.

seats are from a rover 220 coupe or 216gti very comfortable. I still have access to the battery as i just pull the seats all the way forward so the seat base is touching th dash. Not alot of work took the angle grinder to them and cut the lumpy bits of the runners and then just bolted them in

Why not fit buckets seats from another car ? i got mine from a rover

i had the same leak very easy to fix if your carefull i got the seal off a very kind man off here just mark the flance of the flange and then remove u need to mark it other wise ya screwed then drill old seal out and and pop new one in
