This resto is not going to fund itself...

I think that was factory 200 style dash a/c much like the 300/td5 one that hangs underneath the dash.

I did 5 miles to work and 5 miles home for 8.5 years in my D3, and if a D3 can do that with zero issues then a 200 certainly can, i tis all the later dpf stuff that can cause issues

Tbh I would say they are all shocking mpg wise, as a toy that wont make much difference,, but if you do any miles at all then diesel comes back into play. First factoy 200tdi were 1989 G reg I think so only 4/5 yrs and they will be tax/mot free...

I would imagine early ones had the same petrols as the s3 models 2,25/2.5 and 3.5, as for later ones I have no idea.

I would say that is scrap, remember back in the day when 200s were new they had a rep for snapping cranks, I even bought one that had just been rebuilt after a crank failure.

All the time hgvs are diesel then diesel will be available. But for the cheapest owner experience I would be going petrol.

Just completed a 120 mile round trip, performed excellently with a new top speed record of 60mph. it had a bit more to give and was remarkably stable but I didn’t like revving the nuts off the engine with the addition of feeling each of my inner...

Plus 1 as funny enough also taught the apprentice’s at work a simple appreciation along with most of all good manners as a simple plse and thk u goes along way these days When I was an apprentice my senior fitter was an ex para , I was...

I knew it would cheer you up, nice not to be forgotten, I have always told the younguns at work when you pass on knowledge that you learnt off of some old fart always say where you learnt it from, as that will make the old fart happy even if he...

Indeed it’s really made my day , so nice being able to share what I learnt from when I stripped all my air suspension down So nice when members come back to say a simple thank u which goes along way, not forgetting it’s always a team effort...

Think my 90 has the +5 inch ones, they have blue shrouds if that helps any?

Bit more off of Turners. https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/products/err-1181-crankshaft?_pos=4&_sid=96475c640&_ss=r

ERC1181, pls do check that is the correct part number before buying! Just thinking engineers time plus machining/polishing might come to more than a new one costs...

Looks like that has had water in there, if keeping it I would get a machine shop to take a look at it. Iirc std 200 cranks are not mega money.

Countersunk pop rivets?

I think the fact the alloy sheet is flat is going to be your biggest enemy, ie it can wibble/wobble like a thunder sound board is going to make a glued joint fail.

Reading that will make Gary a happy bunny, what you reckon @gstuart?

Many thanks to @gstuart whose post [https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/air-suspension-red-light-solved.384856/post-5500726] solved my nagging suspension problem. For those that don't like a long read, the problem was a loose pin in the...

Think the pump deuse fuel system only runs at 4 bar on the td5, high pressures are actually generated at the injector itself. Being a tightwad I would chuck a litre or two of oil the the tank and run it. I had a td5 years ago and I ran it on all...

Ah so the clearances were to tight? I had in my mind they would be slack, if that is the case that makes a lot of sense. If that is all it was I would be buying a lottery ticket:banana:

When I hold a piece of toilet paper to the intake it hugs the intake without coming off of it so I assume not? To add to this, a couple of the valve’s clearances were far too tight so perhaps that was stoping the valve from fully closing, or...

Think I’ve had exhaust noises coming out of air filter when one exhaust valve not set properly as that was only way gas could get out! , glad you sorted it

Is that still blowing out of the air filter?
