    Engine blew up

    Sudden catastrophic loss of power and clouds of dirty white smoke out of the back. 200 Tdi fitted in a Series III. I'm guessing head gasket?

    Diesel or petrol Series 3

    Apologies if this has been done to death. Looking at buying a Series 3 LWB. I incline to Diesel generally, cos I've always had Diesel landrovers (currently a 110 estate and a Disco). I'm in Ireland, so Diesel is significantly cheaper, and I've read that diesels do something like 25% better...

Confused, since most accessories for a 110 are listed as suitable for a 200 OR 300 Tdi. Nowhere on my owners manual, used car invoice or V5 does it mention "200" or "300" Tdi.

I know they don't really heat much anyway, but if you put it on "blow" and "hot" the fuse blows. I've tested the...
