HALLELUJAH!!!!! It turns out that the problem was all 4 injectors were 'coked up' and injector number 4 was particularly blocked/coked up so all 4 were taen out and cleaned. Oddly, the injectors were replaced 10,000 miles ago but, judging by the price my Dad paid (£20 each, he thinks), they...

Thanks for that good advice, can i please ask what you mean by 'IP'?:o

Ps- My Dad is driving the 200 to the local Landy 'expert' tomorrow which is 20 mile away, is he risking it a little being as it could possibly be the cam belt that has slipped?

Ermmm...im afraid i didn't know there was more to a service than replacing the fuel, air and oil filters and oil. :o:o The Cam belt was changed 30,000 miles ago. Please explain to a fool what else there is to a full service? Sorry for my naiveity. :o

Hello all, I have got a thread currently running about this particular Landy called 'Head Gasket gone on Defender 200 Tdi-Please help?' but i dont think it is appropriate anymore (as it may not be the hg) so i have started this thread, i hope this is ok with everyone! I would love to hear what...

Bloody hell, i've had to post again to say a HUGE thank you, that was so kind of you busterbus, that will help my Dad and his friend so much!! Thank you, you are a very kind person!! :):)

Hi there, thank you very much for that, that is so useful!!!!!! :)

Ahem! It would seem he meant the lift pump. does that make a little more sense?

Thanks Jamesyboy, i will get my Dad to try those suggestions...! Appreciate it!

*bumpy*

Hello, Im afraid im not knowledgable on Landies but my Dad informs me his is a Defender 200 Tdi (which has done 170,000miles), so i hope that makes sense! Anyway, it has been gradually starting poorer and poorer and apparently loses power when he attempts to drive up a slight slope. At first...

Hi and thnaks for that! Please could you just explain a bit more about what you mean about the 'internal flap'? Really appreciate your help on this!!

Hi there, my dad has a 200 tdi and his heater works fine/hot...then goes cold...and after a couple of miles starts working fine again. He has heard it could be either the water pump or the matrix? Does anyone have any ideas on this please? Many thanks in advance!!

Hello again all, thank you for your patience so far!! :o Ok, my dad has said that his Landy is a1990 tdi 200 Short wheel base, phew!! So, all in all, i was correct in my 'discussion' with him when i said that using diff lock would be more advantageous than simply using Low box-first gear? Ps-...
