Sorry guys, the 'white defender' pics were uploaded mistakenly by me :(

Found a good deal here in Brazil. It's a 1998 110. Engine has been done 20.000km ago. Seller says it's running great and in good shape, no rust. What do you guys think? More images (album) can be seen here: Thanks

Hey dove. I am interested in removing the ace of my disco. How much for the front and rear arbs?

Add more fuel, maybe the float thing is not well calibrated. Then do the purge procedure: floor the pedal five times.

Any pros on RTV'ing the small drain hole on the air filter box?

Guys, one last question : no rtv sealant for the halfmoon part on eu3 engines? Is that right?

Heard about using cotton thread, so no need to cut them later.

Just an update: A pair of RBX101181 (rear ARB bushes) fixed the problem :)

Interesting thread. How would one go about deleting it? Just leave the plug disconnected and cable tied?

I think I'll keep the 10.000km interval. It's cheap insurance for a healthy engine. Yep Mark, we'll be leaving for a round the world trip in one year and half... My daughter is 1yr 5 o old. We'll wait until she's 3 to leave :)

Seems like the consensus is to halve the service interval for the Td5... But I buy high quality oil (shell helix ultra 5w40) and only use 10ppm Diesel. This combination is quite expensive here in Brazil so I was wondering if the recommended 10.000km service is the norm even if you use high...

Installed the over temp bolt-on sensor here. Is it a good spot? Thanks

Wow, sounds complex and too delicate :( no symptoms of failing injector seals. Guess I will only change the gasket and grommets and call it a day. Won't mess with the injector seals.

Absolutely! Read there's no need for any special tool to remove the injectors, is that true?

Thanks!! I'll also change the injector seals when doing this job.
