JimDay Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi all I'm Jim & have just bought myself a bargin a 1995 Disco 300 TDi in need of lots of TLC so I may well be picking your brains for information to sort it out the biggest problem is tin worm plus a worn out brake servo vacuum pump, but the pump is soon to be delivered courtesy of disc_al on here & the welding is under way.So please be gentle with me .

JimDay Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Just so you can see what I'm up against this is the state of the Disco, although as you can see a lot of the rust is now cut out & welding in new bits has started http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v63/jimday/Disco%20Photos%201/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie D Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Have fun Jim - all fairly normal for a Disco - yours actually isn't the worst I've seen, all fixable if you take your time, and seal it all up again properly. Only economically feasable if you do it yourself. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
