    Anyone got a gash deepender door card kicking about?

    Fibreglass over the holes, and re-vinyal them....:) That's what I have done with mine, and they look lurvey. Use some heavy duty spray glue, and a hot air gun to mould the material around the door cards. :D Oh, key the area well before glassing- as the bugger don't like sticking to door cards!

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    Ok folks I thinks I have sorted it. Had to go up to North Devon the night, so without rear box gave it a bloody good blast up the A30, Geez was it loud, and hot!:eek: And I also made sure the wastegate , and actuator was moving freely as it should- put the rear box back on, made everything was...

    Land Rover Alloy Wheels

    I've picked up these wheels, and was told they would fit my 1986 90. I tryed to fit the rear first to make sure they would miss the drums, which they do, but there a really sloppy fit around the studs. What nuts do I need to secure them to my Landy? As there no way my original nuts are...

    engine swap advice

    I did look into it, and went for the 200tdi. To fit the 300 is slightly more complicated, due to needing the R380 gearbox, moving your existing engine mountings, also the gearbox tunnel will need replacing... I'm not sure but I think for a ' proper job' , one of the props might need changing...

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    To update. Fitted the straight throught stainless centre pipe, with the Paddocks mild steel back box - a big improvement, but still a sense of gas being resticted. So, I'm now driving it with out the back box - and the truck is driving great again, in the that its smooth and torquey - but a...

    Got me a 90!!!

    Seriously... spend a day doing it yourself, and save the money for other repairs. Jet wash, dry, scrub/grind loose stuff of, get your waxoil nice and hot ( I warm mine up in the oven, but don't tell me missus:eek:;):D), get some overalls, hat, goggles - old sheets on the drive ( the stuff go...

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    Turbo checked, and spins nice and smoothly. I did notice a bit of play I'm guessing about a 64th of an inch. What kind of fueling anomaly did you have in mind CharlesY - go on , give me a clue:D I have to admit the truck is running soooo much better without an exhaust:eek: I have ordered the...

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    OK, I thinks I'm starting to make some progress. I re-clean the boost compenstor again, as to be honest last nights clean was a rather rushed( due to lack of light, and pouring rain:(), This time I dismantled all of the piping, and made sure everything was clean, and moving as it should. And...

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    Thanks CharlesY. The hose looks in good condition - I couldn't see any obvious holes. The 'plunger thing' move up and down with only the resistance of the spring, and the diaphragm is in good condition. ' Steve's Site' is very useful thanks. I'm reluctant to make any adjustments yet, as I...

    Well, I cleaned out the turbo boost compensator; there wasn't much grunge. Put it all back together- and, it's now driving worse:eek::(:eek::confused:? Please help:confused:

    200 TDi engine + 2.5 N/A Exhaust

    I took the air filter out today, and drove to work without it. There was an improvement in the turbo lag, but the turbo is very much a boost of power, rather than a nice torquey, smooth delivery. I see where the turbo boost compensator thing is - is it a straight forward job to clean, or if I...
