Our vin plate (on the brake master cylinder housing) is Gross, Gross Train and axle weights.

Thank you all for the feedback. I had a useful chat with a chap at the MOT tester training company and he said Class 4 without a doubt. His take on the dual purpose phrase was that it related to vehicles with separate load and passenger compartments like pickups, vans etc. He said the 110 SW...

MOT test stations are being inconsistent re testing class for 110 station wagon 300tdi 1996 (5-door: front row, second row plus sideways-facing bench seats) The vehicle has been tested as class 4 on all the previous certificates I can find including last year's. When try to book a test at...

Does anyone have a parts diagram with the part number for the gear/shaft that drives both the vac pump and oil pump? That is the one that meshes with the gear half way along the camshaft. It goes between ERR500 and ERR528. https://www.landroverworkshop.com/diagrams/engine/200tdi/oil-pump_53157...

I had noticed that flat spot too. It looks like it's intentionally machined. Does it allow oil out to the camshaft thrust bearing?

Was there a conclusion on this? Has your vac pump ever been removed? My manual says that when you replace the vac pump the oil pump driving shaft needs to go back in the same so that the mesh of the gear with that of the camshaft is "preserved". Has anyone got a handle on this? If the drive and...

Feedback: So it's together now using the workshop manual sequence. I was working solo so just wrote the sequence numbers on the bolt heads in the end (underline 6 and 9!!). I used a paint pen line right on one hex corner of each bolt radially down across the flange to the head to doubly monitor...

Just been pondering all this again myself. My head gasket change seems to have made my engine temperature a tad low so maybe that gasket was doing naughty things other than blowing gasses at the bulkhead. So some thoughts that might or might not be relevant to your case: 1. Temperature sender...

Where are my glasses? I'll edit that... Cheers

"things like lights/wipers/mudflaps etc just fine" When browsing for engine spares recently I noticed that one supplier lists a few Britpart items as "OEM". This includes important stuff like oil seals.

Does anyone know where I can find a cam profile diagram/coordinates for a 200TDi? I ideally need one of the following formats. 1. Raw cam lift (including ramps) vs cam angle or crank angle. 2. Theoretical valve lift (cam x rocker ratio) vs crank angle. 3. Measured valve lift vs crank angle (...

Thanks for the info. Yes that non-elring one is like the one I had. There doesn't seem to be any easy way of remembering it. I can normally get a pattern in my head but that's all over the place. :eek::)

Perhaps #25 is something you fit instead of the lift bracket.

Thanks all for your very thorough attention. I got my wires a bit crossed there: Those two holes I mentioned are indeed on the rear offside (not nearside as I mentioned previously). So yes, those two holes are where item #20** would sit. The arrangement I imagined was with parts 19 (present) and...

Lift lug? I've 2 engines here without anything extra under the bolt heads. I notice that the spot faces for the two outboard holes on the nearside rear of the head are machined lower but the bolts for that row are all the same length. Is that where you mean? These heads are both sourced from...
