Would I be right in saying that the turbo for this engine is the Garrett T25? If so, would it be the dynamic or carbon seal type?

Excellent, thanks mate, another piece of the puzzle falls into place. Do they (anyone) do a service kit for the turbo?

One engine :D

Dude thanks for all your help, it's been a pleasure. Get some snooze and wrap up warm, it's a bit cold up there I think!

So another question then, would the gearbox on my motor be the original 110 one or would it have got the one from the 200tdi? And, as the 200tdi engine came out of a Range Rover does that make it the same 200tdi that's in the Discovery's or the 200tdi from a Defender?

There's actually a Land Rover dealer in my local town, no idea on parts costs though and sometimes it's a bit difficult knowing how to say the part in Spanish - I've only been learning for a year. That site looks pretty good though, if only I hadn't just put a deposit down for a ATV Quad bike I...

I always do things in pairs even if one side doesn't need it, belt n braces and all that! So it looks like worst case scenario, for around 60 notes I can replace the slave & master, plus two front wheel bearing kits. That does sound like good value. What else can I do cheaply to "pimp" my ride?

Ok, just a thought though, is it worth getting this instead 330469511442 and just doing the whole thing whilst the wheel's off for peace of mind? Seems like good value once again.

I'm just browsing through fleabay now, can you tell me if these items are what you're referring to 280638318900

Well, managed to get about 100km out of it before it died and I did relocate the replacement air intake system, because where the guy had it installed was very restrictive on the airflow. Oh yeah, I also changed over the starter motor as the solenoid melted. Other than that I've done nowt to it.

A set of those caps are nowt I know, but when this one split it was like a hydraulic fluid oozing and not a grease. Although, it was over 50 degrees in the sun so maybe it liquified the grease? what do you reckon? As far as the master & slave cylinders go, there's no point in going down the...

Now I don't know if the extreme heat of the direct sun last summer caused these, already aged hub caps, to split open and spew juice everywhere or if it's connected to the whole lack of clutch, non moving situation. The spewing of juice seemed to coincide with the immobilisation of the vehicle.

The other side of the above wheel doesn't look too clever though:

So this is my empty clutch master cylinder (see I'm learning!), which is bone dry. Is it likely that either this and/or the Slave Cylinder (see I did it again, learnt something, lol) are the root of my car troubles?

So apart from a healthy dose of muddy stuff, it doesn't look too bad here right?
