Thanks a lot :) As for the bit of black smoke - it does it. When i go up the hill on full throtle - it does the small black puff from time to time - also when accelerating rapidly - same thing. So it cant be this. Air filter - well, as long as turbo gauge works, and shows the correct pressure -...

Ok, now you got me p....d off really... What the heck may be wrong then? Engine seems to be fine, starts on touch even in the winter, no smoke, smooth run... rims are not getting warm, so have no clue really what may be causing such a power drop. At 55mph i got 0.5-0.7 bar boost pressure on...

The engine seems to be fine, no smoke, starts first time, smoothly running - just have no clue why is that - cant be tires i guess...

I havent wasted money for upgrades, just bought it that way. Recently had head gasket done, that's it.

I't not that I wanna race... :D Just got feeling that got something wrong with the engine, as it's a bit weak. 110 200tdi, 255/85/16 BFG/MT, turbo tuned up to 1 bar, increased fuel, alisport intercooler. 65 it's reasonable top speed, if i'll push it - goes to 69. (gps: 63/67) I got a mate...

This is my 4th landy, before i've had 2x90 and disco300 - ALWAYS have been proud of them despising all the faults. selling them then buying another. Same here - rare genuine 200tdi into which I put half of my heart and overall income... Presumably after this repair - the gearbox will go to...

Well, i've taken care of my 110 very much... every single detail has always been fixed, all the oils changed far more frequent than necessary, timing belt and all that... I know **** happens and all, it's just a bit - unexpected within dec/jan period. So guys, what could you could you recommend...

I think I'll follow your signature mate... :D

Well, as I mentioned before, have no space do do any jobs (also some medical againsts) so it must be done by some blood sucking mechanic... Maybe I'll just sell it for some stupid price and have no more reasons to worry... ...and it's genuine 200tdi with turbo on top.

Not sure if gonna be fixing it... may be just head gasket, but it's more probable that it's piston/piston ring...

Hehe - I've had 2.5TD - with similar symptoms :D It's 200tdi. I know i can spend £1500 for reconditioned block, crankshaft, pistons etc - with fitting. Is there any other option? (like repairing just one piston or someting) Personally I cant do anything myself - no garage, car on street...

So i've driven my 110 to whitby on new year's eve. Hills, up and down, turbo 1bar most of the time .... then I noticed smoke inside the cabin. Hood up, smoke coming out of dip stick hole. Puff puff puff, and spraying little drops of oil too. Managed to get to my destination point though, then...

Sigma 1.4 50mm ex dg hsm. I so far couldn't find any other solution than from Amazon I guess...

Yes, I have. Most of them do not keep most of the lenses in stock. Jessops can order it, - delivery time up to 28 days - sorry :) So I think - amazon will be the only reasonable option. They have them in stock here - and should be no problem with exchanging it in case something is wrong. Also...

...as for the Land Rovers... thank you for kind advice :) I've got google as well, believe or not. However this lens is not very popular - it's been recently released, and it's unlikely it will be found in 2nd hand stores. I said Currys don't have it, so that implies nor the PCworld. Internet...

What shop should have good range of camera lenses, apart from Jessops? Looking for particular Sigma lens, and they don't have it. Don't want to buy them over internet. Thanks. ps. currys don't have it :)

well, if you put it this way, there is nothing to worry about ... :cool:

I've heard from different sources, that from January there will be some sort of new road tax rate, for 4x4s enormously expensive ... May that be true?

Well OK First prize - a crate of beer, when we meet :D Cassie - you're no.1 at the moment. In three weeks we're going to Scotland for a month. No hotels or B&Bs. Three vehicles. Two of them including mine, shall be packed quite reasonably... but my mates DISCO will beet you Cassie, I believe :)...

That's how it was before :D Three people in fully packed ninety for three weeks :eek:
