    Smoke after idle

    You could call TVED in Reading; Purdey there is excellent with phone diagnosis! He's just reconditioned my fuel injectors (they were 20% out on test) , fitted new turbo (a vane had seized) and he is reconditioning the fuel pump on my 300tdi 110 today.

    Fuel consumption

    My 300tdi 110 (with allisport intercooler and silicone hoses) was doing 28.5 - 30 MPG on short trips not exceeding 60mph. I've now replaced the turbo (a vane seized) and reconditioned the fuel injectors (which were 20% out) - it's increased the power noticeably and I'm getting 33-34 mpg.

    NAS LED

    Thanks Foxyred I know the NAS are 95mm v bog standard 73mm, but on one thread in another forum I read about RDX making stepped plinths to overcome the drilling/overhang problem. When you say LED light for the dash - do you mean the flasher unit or something else?

    What exhaust for 300tdi 110?

    My whole exhaust system is rotting and will soon need replacing on my 1995 Defender 300tdi CSW 110. I am considering the expensive stainless steel route. I'd like to increase mpg and unlike some I don't want noise! What are the advantages of stainless apart from longevity, and what systems...

    D2 Twin battery installation

    go for a maggiolina rather than safari style tent - they take a full double skin and are much warmer if you expect cool weather. I have a hannibal and will replace it with maggiolina as soon as cash allows especially as there are good deals from italy on fleabay (paypal protected!)
