Just the issue of space, I've moved the screen wash bottle and the square filter box is a pain to fit unless there is a step by step way of fitting?????

the 110 pick up had a V8 in it origianally and has now got 300TDi (91-96) engine (pre ECU), I think not sure and the guy i bought it off not to sure either. Just want to get things fitted more securely and looking at the air box that was already fitted but not securely is the square shape style and just thought save the hassle fit a custom cone fitter or something of like which will take up less room and give me easy access around that area.
Also think my injection pump is leaking anyone know any where local to Bedfordshire i could get this rebuilt or is possable to do this yourself, dont mind getting me hands dirty but just want to get the Landi back onto the road for me daughter.

A square air filter box is not a standard 300 item, so that may be your problem. Cone filters rubbish.

'91 to 94 should be 200Tdi, 94 to 97 should be 300 .... but when they changed some ancillaries apparently migrated.
The 200 tdi engine, the pulleys at the front of the engine have two separate, single-vee belts. The 300 had a single serpentine poly-vee belt that is about an inch wide, and an automatic tensioner, mostly .... Also the 200 dipstick is on the passenger side of the engine with a loop at the top, the 300 dipstick is in the front with a yellow Tee-handle.

is engine up against the rad? if so a standard 300 air box bolted to rear side of engine would be best bet

Vin number is correct for style of vehicle but not engine type as my engine is a 300 Tdi, so can I find out from the engine number what year it is

any 300 tdi lift pump they are all the same, you may well need nrc9771 and nrc9770 x 2 not all pumps come with them

Just found it I think starts off 19L not what it says on log book doh.....
Look on the drivers side of the cyl head towards the rear and there should be a small cast circle with the year and month of make/casting, of course theres a chance its not the original head but still worth a look.

hi guys cheers for all info, 300tdi is stamped 95. the engine is not near the rads, nice big gap between engine and rads.
