  1. whats the weight of a 90 chassis? got to book my old chassis in for the new owner now that its had some mods.
  2. why would the timing go out on 1 poss 2 cylinders? shes gonna get fresh derv and a bucket load of injector cleaner straight though this afternoon.
  3. bought a cheap disco 200 tdi AUTO to use as a dog van/tip wagen whilst we continue to clear out. have a starting problem. from cold she fires straight away but only on 2-3 cylinders and with a little throttle will run. big clouds of white/grey smoke,unburnt diesel?, and will drive fine with the smoke clearing. once warm ticks over, if a little lumpy,temps are fine, restarts from warm fine. I'm gonna change the fuel filter in a bit. do i have a blocked/faulty injector/s ??? how much are they and how easy to change? anything else i should look out for,valve clearences need doing but sound apart from that.
  4. rolling around in a 200 tdi auto!

  5. i'll second that......plus i have a set of 4 for sale
  6. imagine....free log books and £20 notes! the world would be such a happy place!
  7. Been known to do a bit....... i'll get some up.
  8. OK whats the craic with shipping 90's to Oz. will need a few! won't feel right otherwise is there any tinternet info out there
  9. excellent! i'd like to be "off the grid"in our next house. i need some land on a decent slope thats facing west wth a natural spring,brook etc. Ground source heat pump for background heating, aga for hotwater/heating. reseviour of water with a turbine for electicity to supply heat pump/house.possible a wind turbine bu there not that effecient on a small 10-20 kva scale. i am fortunate to frequent Bath uni alot....they are trialling the co house at the mo. http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/2009/07/16/balehaus-2/ i'd like one,i'd like to be off grid and off the governments radar!
  10. Keep it up! I'd love set. i love the engineering and the potential ease of it all. I hope your friend can build them cheap enough to become popular.
  11. we need electricity, i don't care how much energy it takes to build a wind turbine/water powered thingy. I'd rather have a million of them if the lternative is another 23 nuclear power stations dotted around. LR's are great but we have moved on. Thaey can build an engine out of ceramics that will last for many more miles than a conventional engine, they can build a vehicle that will last a long time...s/s ali etc. BUT whats the incentive.....MONEY! so no incentive execpt to make money. Billions will be spend on power stations within the next 20 years out of concrete and plutonium. Give me a ind turbine anyday...and if theres no wind. then i'll light a candle
  12. Nice! are these gonna be commercially available?
  13. helphire for you! get all the bits fixed on his insurance and get a 110!
  14. I 'd love a set of D3 axles under a 90/100/110. is this what you bought them for?
  15. Ahhh Karma. i've been taking to the "closed" roads, much quieter
  16. i believe your right, hence the post save me a fortune and dent free doors
  17. ok thanks for the advice. Guess i might have to try one.
  18. 4" here. scooby has been out pulling our vans back to base. went over to landrovers uk to see if they had any doors....lots of snow...no doors. sledging now with the kids
  19. i could use the nice doors but thts not answered my question. are the steel skins the same as the ali ones and will they fit a td5 door frame
  20. OK got a lovely set of late td5 front doors for my 110 BUT i also have a not so lovely set of TD5 front doors off my 90. They are dented and marked but not rust, so i was thinking if they could be re skinned with the later steel skins from a puma? I can sell my late td5 front doors for the price of a small island and have a set of "new" doors. NO reactions and all steel so a little sturdier to dinks and dents. Is it possible?
  21. Sorry Mo,yer wrong! D3 / RRS have a chassis. RR is monocock! tdv8 auto 110 csw on d3 chassis and axles
  22. be mindful that you will get charged to have these fitted. i own a tyre fitting place and we can often beat the ebay prices once the fitting,disposal and balancing are totted up. give you local place a call and see what they can do?
  23. Jase, I've slept in the passenger seat of my old gti many a time. Get a good recliner, and if the bulkheads been removed you could add some mud rails for a little leg room? not sure if you could actually lay out in a 90 can you?
