    Won't start after top end overhaul

    Woah! 1, 3 & 4 are way off! What thickness head gasket did you fit? The same number of holes as the one that came off or did you measure piston protrusion to find the correct size? When you refitted the head, did you torque the head bolts exactly as described in the manual?

    1990 300TDi Soft Top

    Not in any way criticising, because I really like this Landy, but the problem with a soft top is that it takes away a lot of the practicality of the vehicle. I considered converting mine, but realised that I need to be able to carry stuff on the roof, which obviously isn't going to happen with a...

    Defender overhead storage/gun rack

    I did think of that but wasn't sure how old the post was. I guess I've nothing to lose by sending a quick email. I will let you know if I manage to find out where it came from!

    300Tdi Engine Tuning.

    Yes, I've just been outside to check and can assure you that my engine bay is 100% standard! I've looked really really closely! :rolleyes: Yours is clearly not standard but I'm highly doubtful of the power and MPH claims. However, as I said, I would love to be proven wrong!

    300Tdi Engine Tuning.

    Why would you want photos of my engine bay? It's a standard 300tdi, but there is absolutely no way in hell that a standard 300tdi and R380 gearbox will achieve 100MPH. Actually, that's not fair. In my opinion, it's not possible, but I'm more than happy (in fact, I'm positively keen!) to be...

    Won't start after top end overhaul

    To be clear. If you loosen the injector pipes at the injector end and turn the engine over, do you have fuel coming out of all four pipes? The only other thing I can think of is the injectors themselves. Are you definitely getting fuel through the injectors and a decent spray pattern?

    90?! As in MPH? From a standard 300tdi with a standard gearbox? C'mon! Who do you think you're kidding? :pound: W T actual F is that monstrosity??

    Defender overhead storage/gun rack

    They do these, but I was hoping for something a little more secure: Mantec | Quality Land Rover Accessories Is that what you meant?

    Defender overhead storage/gun rack

    Hi all, Does anyone know where I might be able to buy one of these? Overhead carrier (gun rack) for Series III Land-Rovers Or something similar?

    Newbie! Off-roading

    Hello and welcome! :D Your best bet would be to take a look in the Green Laning section (Green Laning - Land Rover Zone) to see if there are any planned/regular Laning trips in your area. If not, you could always start a new thread to arrange one. Alternatively, the Off Road section, to see if...

    If you're really that bothered, you could click the "Mark forums as read" link before logging out. But as BB says, the forum is so busy that you're still going to have pages of stuff to click through!
