I found a great Land Rover scrapyard today in Bury. Bought a complete
drivers seat for my Disco One 300TDi for £50, I thought that was not bad?

I think someone has been reading these pages as Ford are to put the
drivetrain of the new Defender underneath the new Transit to make a proper
capable 4x4 Van.
You won't have to make one now Austin. :-)

.........but i nearly wet myself, one for all the caravanners out
there!

Folks,
Very probably a faq, but I didn't find it.
Anybody got anything to say for or against the various swing-away spare
wheel carriers around?  This is for a 2001 110.  I have seen to makes:

I've run out of books so im working through the big pile of landy mags
that i just liberated from my mates loft!
How many names that i recognise from here have i got to look out for?
I've only worked through 4 or 5 mags so far and have found Pantellis

The lad has managed to take a trip across the ward to the toilets so it
looks like he's on the mend nice one Hamster!

Been chatting to someone in the know about my V8 heating issues. They seem
to think its common for the rover v8's to develop cracked piston linings at
arround 130k. Has anyone else seen this ? Can you confirm wether this is a
common problem ? Also if this is a comon problem is ...

Sorry about the last message I miss posted this the first time :)
Hi it feels like I have been searching the entire world for the
proverbial needle in a haystack :(
I have an early Testbook model 27070B, its hard Disk died I replaced

anyone have any ideas what a 1999 td5 engine sells for?
it has about 240,000k's on the clock and runs like beast. wanting to
replace it with the 2.8HS international.
cheers

Okay, being a newbie Discovery owner, (US Spec 1996 Discovery VIN beginning
with SALJY1240T...), Does the Haynes manual "LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 1989 TO
1998 (G to S REGISTRATION) PETROL AND DIESEL" cover my Discovery?  What does
the G to S registration refer to?

As the friction plate of my RR '81 needs to be replaced a question:
I've no equipment to take the engine out. So I thought to do it from the
inside of the car. Take out the gear cover plate , loosen both propshafts
,take out the bolts of the bell housing, support the engine  ...

Am considering my options. Assuming the bores are OK and that the crank
is good, how much would four piston sets and a complete set of bottom end
bearings cost including installation labour for above engine? What are the
chances that the bores and crank are OK for that matter?
