Many thanks both. I have just ordered an IR temp reader from off ebay as I am starting to think its actually fine on temp, but it is the sensor/wiring/new thermostat. Going to remove the termostat tonight and run it without it. I read last night...

I'd be more inclined to say gauge/sensor/wiring than anything else. Top hose will get hot even before the thermostat is open, so the bottom may be cold simply because there is no flow. It may also be that it's only just hot enough to open the...

Mine. After market silicon hoses with a sensor for the electric fan.

This is mine, guys at work swapped a cat engine for another used one, this hose was spare so I may have purloined it and this is where it has lived for the last 18 years. This is a 200 with the early narrow style radiator, I cannot comment on the...

Thanks for that, I've got a pipe connector on the way so will see what I can do.

I dont think i bought any extra hoses, this would have been made up with what was on the 2286 and the tdi , cant remember if i needed to cut one

In situ

Can anyone share some photos of their bottom hose when using a serid radiator with 200tdi please? One of the last jobs but I cannot get a hose to fit properly. All suggestions welcome.

It looks like you're right! I got them from Parts in montion via their eBay shop, msyhe worth giving them a call?

I would say 63.97 As @steve2286w J

Pig is leaving today. Going to a chap who I instantly liked and who is going to be doing a restoration on. Sad day but I also got a new lovely daily and a new gun yesterday so the pain is minimal 😂. It makes me really happy that the guy loved it...

However I would suggest looking at a previous thread I made on the topic with the bearing part number. I tried some from Turners which were extremely hard to work with and ended up replacing them again..

Ive just replaced camshaft bearings on my 200 with a generic tool from eBay, no need to get line bored as the bearings come pre-finished now.

Sometimes looking at an issue the next day provides the answer. :D :D

I'd take the bit about 3500 or offers out of the description now it's almost over that!

Okay so I think I've sorted this - clearly not looking properly at 11pm last night when I was trying to fit it. If you look at the sixth photo, you can just about see the stud from the mount sticking down, this was resting on the chassis leg...

Morning all, Finally got the the stage of fitting the rebuilt Discovery 200 tdi to my 109 Series 3, however it doesn't seem to want to sit properly and hoping for some guidance. 2.25d mount brackets removed and fitted to disco block, new...

I had to get a pipe made up for the clutch master on my 73 S3, can't remember exactly why but different side unions vs the pipe I had. Took it to a local hydraulics place and they make me up a new pipe the same day for a few quid.

What have you got to lose by just throwing some new bearings in and putting it back together?

Try cleaning your potato before taking anymore photos ;)

I'd probably grind the heads off those bolts to get the cover off, then tackle the stud that's left in the casing. Edit, too slow on that reply. Yes, I've currently got a 200tdi almost fully build up, turbo, manifolds, etc. on a Clarke 350kg...

Now sold

Morning all, Camshaft bearing installation/removal tool, MaxSpeedingRods brand. Worked a treat for me when changing 200 tdi camshaft bearings, now no longer required (hopefully...). One of the sleeves is slightly damaged but still worked fine...

Morning all, Taken from a Discovery 200 tdi that was sold to me as running, but its since undergone a full rebuild. Exhaust manifold, all studs good. £50 Inlet manifold. £20 Turbo, slight play in the shaft but cannot say for sure how it was...

I think bringing in an MOT or safety check for historic is a great idea. Being over 40 years old doesn't remove the need to keep the vehicle road worthy, something you confirm each year by signing the tax form, and yet so many old Land Rovers...

Evening all, Has anyone got a definitive answer to the quantity and order of the rocker shaft washers on a 200 tdi? The photo below shows what came off mine, which matches a Britanica Restorations video, but parts diagrams seem to show...

They're bolts..

Last photo looks like timing chain parts

Thanks for the post, I actually got myself a 200 tdi which is undergoing a full rebuild currently, so thanks but I'm all good now!
