    Supercharged L322 alternator getting red hot.

    Can anyone shed any light on my Range Rover 4.2 supercharged alternator. The other night the car develped a whine noise and when we parked up later that day outside the shop the battery died after we had been out, but with a jump start it was fine to get home. I've just had a look for the noise...

    Defender TD5 Tuning.

    I've done virtually the same & Mine ran those figures for 4 years plus I had the alive over boost module fitted with out batting an eyelid. Done 60k over them 4 years pulling trailers 50% of the time too. Chassis gave up before the engine. Not for much longer though. Can't wait to get back...

    Aaron's 90 rebuild round 4

    I know it's a mine field isn't it. I don't want to spend all the time and hassle of rebuilding it whilst it's out on the bench only 6 months later have things start failing. Good luck with the rest of your build. I'll be watching closely.

    Aaron's 90 rebuild round 4

    Happy new year Arron. Build is going well mate. Can I ask where you get your engine gaskets from as I'm about to rebuild my TD5? Keep up the good work.

    Coming to a thread near you soon. Td5 90 full rebuild. At last

    Finally got a spare day so done a bit today. Cut the old chassis today to get the fuel tank out as someone has welded up the cradle bolts. Pulled out the rear wiring loom through the chassis. Removed the exhaust Removed the power steering res, looked at removing the steering rods but just...

    TD5 engine rebuild. Which gasket set?

    Nothing wrong with it mate, but it's out and sat on an engine stand so it makes sense to rebuild it before it goes back in. I'll have a read of your thread today.

    Aaron's 90 rebuild round 4

    Aaron. Great progress as usual. I'd just decided on that colour myself after 9 months of pondering so it's back to the drawing board for me. I'll be following with great interest. ;)

    200tdi 90 Build

    Wikid engine rebuild mate. I'm in to a rebuild at the moment and I'm in two minds whether to rebuild the engine and looking at yours it seems the way to go as it looks the nuts. Keep the updates coming, I'll be following ;)

    Hi Greyhair, this is my dilemma. On one hand as it was running sweet as a nut but on the other hand should I do it whilst everything is accessible and I know it should be 100%.

    Right it's been a while since I've done anything to my beautiful Land Rover but thought it's time to start up again. Been giving my workshop a clear up over the BH weekend and guess what under all my crap I found a Land Rover I started to rebuild and not a very expensive storage/shelf ;)and I'm...

    What turbo should I have on my 300Tdi?

    I've been driving big excavators for years now and I'll always let them idle for about 5 mins before I shut it down for the day to let the oil get round the turbo. It's in all the manuals you get with the machine too to do that. So can't be a bad thing to do. :)

    Rear tub advise

    It won't fit as I think you will find the fuel filler is at the back on the TD5/TDCi and at the front of the 200 tub. Unless you plan of moving the fuel tank.

    Fantastic Job Greyhair. Congrats on passing the MOT. You must be well stoked. If mine turns out a smidge as good as yours I will join you in being a skint happy bunny. I to was considering Keswick Green for my build and it looks amazing. Did you paint it or get it done as everyone I ask seem to...
