Listing disco

Hi All,

I am now the proud owner of an old Disco (92 2.5 Diesel manual 5door

200tdi) I have bought the standard tool kit for same (Mig welder) and stuck loads of metal on it until the MOT man was satisfied it wouldn't fall apart on his ramp.

The probelm I have is it leans to the drivers side most of the time,on occassions when its parked it looks square.

I ahve changed the shock mounting rubbers (nice job) and the shock are all functional.

I cannot detect aweak or damaged spring or seating on front or back and the lean is even front to back (not more on the front or more to the back)

As there are loads of mounting rubbers on varius parts of the drive train, I thought I would ask advise before blindly changing all springs.

Suggestions on what to repair or how to further test would be much apreciated.

John

Derek uttered summat worrerz funny about:

It's either the springs or odd sized tyres. My money is on the springs mind. A new set will not break the bank and be worth every penny IME.

Thanks all for the replies,

Will look into set of springs.. ( I have seen quite a few with this lean) still got to source a front prop Have already shoe horned 300tdi seats into it This is going to be a "Forth Bridge" project but it suits me down to the ground.

As a thought, it returned 34.4 towing my caravan but I have seemn on here people with 300tdi and later models doing a lot less...should I be conserned...it runs fine and ha plenty of 'grunt'

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the invite,

Unfortunately job precludes much free time (especialy on weekends ) at the moment. When all quietens down I may come and ask if the invite is still open.

Thanks

John

Would have been nice to take a trip out :(

Have 2 reasons why I can't tho ... 1. I am at Abingdon for the show thingy, and 2. Someone is *still* borrowing Piglet :(

Hey ho ... maybe another time :)
