    Heavy vibrations at 40mph

    Vibrations or death wobble ? My 90 would shake violently at around that speed and if I hit a pot hoke No noticeable play in panhard rod bushes but once I changed them the problem stopped

    300tdi temperature gauge

    To test ,earth out wire in engine bay to engine block ,if wiring and gauge are OK gauge will go to top I recently had to fit a new sender to mine

    19j worth saving ?

    Fitted a new battery which helped hugely with starting I've also fiddled with injection pump timing ,having settled on advancing it quite a bit and smoke has massively reduced Hope to get a better go at it at the weekend

    19j worth saving ?

    I'm told the tdi is good but it is cheap and won't come with a guarantee ! Think il buy either way as a spare as I have a 90 and a lightweight with 300s in

    I can get a 300 locally for £300 (200s getting pretty rare now) You can now buy an engine mount for drivers side so no need to cut chassis mount ,plus I'd need to make an exhaust downpipe (or but but they aren't cheap) plus radiator ,intercooler and frame plus pipes so it's not a cheap option...

    Thanks for the advice ,been googleing the white smoke and its possible it could be a timing issue

    19j worth saving ?

    Very interesting ,I'm almost loathed to take the engine out as there aren't many original ones left now The engine I have smokes like a chimney and the air filter is very oily (breather is standard so still runs to intake) How much work is likely to be involved in sorting the engine ?

    I've a 1988 90 with an original / period 19j turbo engine The usual bad starting ,smoke and spewing oil out the breather In days gone by these engines were seen as boat anchors and would be replaced with a tdi Are they now worth saving as there can't be too many left with the correct engine

    Dying 300 Tdi

    Check the basics first Air filter, fuel filter Then try running off a separate fuel supply direct to the fuel pump

    Steering box fault

    Steering box fault

    I fitted a second hand 4 bolt steering box to my defender Oil started to turn milky ,I assumed maybe some water in the box so I changed it several times but problem remains Box has now locked up (turns fully to the right but won't turn left past mid point) I've tried with with steering shaft...
