R&N diesels are legends, pump works great, and not as expensive as they quoted, all working fine now except the blooming clutch

I've just swopped engines from a 2.5 na, to a disco 200 tdi, on to an lt 77 gearbox a few niggles but got to the exciting part when the engine finally ran, thought I'd take it for a quick drive to check it out, pressed the clutch, but couldn't select a gear, pedal felt normal, and if you forced...

Took the pump off, and to rn diesels for an inspection, two strip downs ad a bit of head scratching established fuel delivery screw had been altered, they've put it back to stock, and all should be good, can't wait for new timing belt, and tension ends to turn up( wish id checked those before...

Hi, I've got a similar issue with my 200tdi, I've just installed in my 110, it was a good runner in the donor vehicle I saw before it was removed. My first start up was alarming, so I quickly switched it off, and checked the throttle linkage, I even backed of the idle position, just Incase it...

Hi, I've just swopped a 2.5na to. 200 tdi disco engine, I'm near the end but I haven't got the larger banjo bolt off the disco engine that mounts the pas pipe to the pump, I've tried craddocks but they couldn't identify it, does anyone know the part number or bolt size and where I could find...

Thanks for that, will get sourcing one now

I've inherited a series with a 2.5 na sherpa engine fitted, but the camshaft pulley is missing does any one know if its the same as the defender 2.5 na or dt? Or has a 2.5 sherpa one they can count the teeth on? Struggling to find one and would like to complete my brothers project.Thanks

evening gents, a bit of advice please my 89 2.5td defender has a transmission noise when under load that makes it sound like a ww2 lorry, its fine on a trailing throttle, or coasting but when the accelerating it has a deep loud whine, the previous owner acknowledged this, and gave me a...

Q, would a hawkeye diagnostic reader provide any clues, with the engine not running?

hi, my recently purchased 2000 td5 still wont start.batt fully charge/half a tank of fuel, (which may come in usefull later!) it was diagnosed by the aa as a fuel pump which wouldnt power up, this has now been replaced, but the pump still wouldnt power up. have checked and changed fuses and...

just visually checked fusebox front under dash, and its nice and dry and dusty by the looks of things, where would dampness show itself? thanks

Hi, just bought a 2000 discovery2 TD5, been parked up for a while battery died and has a little water ingress issue, and just prior to purchasing wouldnt start, negotiated a discount, took a fooking big gamble, and believed the aa diagnosis which was fuel pump innop. fuel pump didnt work when...

still not got it started, i seem to have lost my spark, any one got a spare 8 or so just to get it running! not sure when i lost the sparks, coil has power, and if i connect a spark plug to coil and lay it on plenum, and short the coil across i have sparks but nothing form dizzy cap, or plugs...

yep, id cut a hole if i did it again, loads easier, got mine done in about an hour, or so, i was scared at thought of dremmel grinder etc, so used an airchisel, marvellous kit form ebay, used it for loadsa things, but cutting metal is my fave, plus no heat, and less chance of going through wires...
