So bonnet up the other day and my neighbor has a look under and notices i have a 200TDI but without the radiator unit for it (Oil cooler, inter cooler & rad). Just a bog standard Radiator. He works at a farm vehicle fitters yard, and mentions he can get us a 200TDI radiator unit for nothing...

fairy snuff. shame really, would have been good learning putting it back together. Fortunately all the pistons are in good nick so can keep them as spares. Cheers

First off been a while since I posted on here! I'm Overhauling a Brake master cylinder I replaced to use as a spare and also to learn something from it. Seal kit was £3.60 from Paddocks so worth a shot at that price. Its a Brake master cylinder for a 90" (NRC9592). I took the old one...

2x Hub bearing kit 1x Hub nut spanner 1x pot of grease, you gonna need more than that supplied in kit and read this: Wheel bearings: I know its says for rear wheel bearings, bu the procedure is the same

I assume you are using solid state disks for your hard-drives, cos if not then that would massively reduce your power consumption of your IT equipment fitted.

ahh that explains it, but could that mean if you use the wrong tension spring you loose max boost pressure due the wastegate opening prematurely?

Just been poking around my 200TDI today and noticed something quite critical! My Wastegate controller valve on my turbo had been replaced with a spring on a tethered wire connected to the wastegate lever! Now why would this be done? Maintaining higher pressure for a wound up injector pump...

Greetings fellow yorkshire-ling if your after many seats have you ever considered other than a disco, like a 110 or even 130 defender or even a series of the same wheel base? Looking for a 200-300TDI power plant is a good bet. Me and some friends agree that they are bullet proof engines...

Got a bit of an odd problem: Now I have an oil leak on my 200tdi ("yeh what else is new!" I hear you cry), so I'll just post this picture and you'll see my point: The Previous owner did a bodge job with a bit of hacked hydraulic pipe and some copper fittings on this particular 200TDI to...

cost me 4 times that in fuel, thanks though.

looking for something a bit more heavy duty, cheers

Anyone got a spare wheel knocking around on disco/defender rims? Looking for Bronco/grizzly/Insa-turbo special track off-road tyre: 235/85 R16 usable condidtion

I'll maybe hook up an intercooler, but won't bother with oil cooler, just another 4 points to leak from! thanks for input anyways.
