    300 tdi White smoke

    yes did the valves. I am thinking injectors as they have been used in two heads that have both overheated and cracked. Are they prone to failure after a head has overheated? Started the engine this morning from cold with glows unplugged, it started but not very well.

    LDF500180COM cylinder head

    Even if there is a slight difference between my old head valve stand down and the new head, as long as it is within the stated Landrover specs I should be ok to go by my piston protrusion? Do you mean there is no point in changing from the original Elring head gasket to these multi leafs as...

    LDF500180COM cylinder head

    Ok so what your saying is I could use an Elring gasket with the newer head. They supply you with the thickest head gasket to allow no room for error. Both agreed on radiator problems and leaks. The newer head is same price as older head so I might use newer head with older Elring gasket as...

    LDF500180COM cylinder head

    How come the description of this cylinder head LDF500180COM states you have to use LVB500220 - 3 hole head gasket. I thought the correct sized gasket was set by knowing your highest piston protrusion. Thinking of buying this head but am a little worried of the horror stories I hear of using...

    Opinions on mud flaps

    Ive not got any fitted to my 110 but am thinking if I did they would help reduce the water/salt and mud etc from spraying the rear cross member and foot wells.

    STC1753 Alternator into Defender 200tdi

    Anyone tried using this alternator in a Defender 200tdi? My standard 65 amp has just failed. Used a 100 amp from Frogs Island a few years ago and had major problems shredding v-belts but STC1753 is 80 amp. Im wondering if it will be a straight fit.
