How much of a mirror image of each are those manifolds? I was wondering if they are cut'n'shut-able to move them onto opposite sides.....seems a shame to waste tho lovely pipes :) There are however, stainless steel 'sports' manifolds avaliable from people such as Rimmer Bros as well.

Going to try and get them off this evening. Been real busy and not go around to them yet. Do you want to PM me an address to send them to?

Flex plate replaces the flywheel and the torque converter bolts to it.

That is most likely to be ovalled bearings on the dizzy shaft itself. Check the dwell with a meter and you should see that 'wandering' as well.

This thread is a handy read. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/crankcase-filter-103030.html

Timing chain tensioner not working or the chain has stretched.

Also possible that one of the cups has not been pressed in there square.

You have to swap the mounts on the engine block for petrol ones to get it to bolt up to the chassis, perhaps this is where the confusion lies.

The 2.5 TD will sit on the petrol engine mounts. Use the ignition coil live for the fuel stop solenoid. I would suggest that modding a new 2.5 TD exhaust is probably the best route for that. Fuel piping will need changing as a diesel will require a return pipe to the tank. Battery...

Is that engine and Sherpa/LDV one?

No ECU etc on the ZF autobox in a 300Tdi. However,....the flex plate and associated bits can be hard to find for a Tdi auto, there are not many of them :)

It depends upon what is causing the vibration. If it is due to the steep angle of the UJs causing the yokes to 'clash' then a wide angle prop will solve the problem. To test this jack the chassis and support on axle stands so that the front axle is drooping under it's own weight. Then spin the...

If you fit the clutch complete from the old engine onto the new one then you should have no problems.

Too far from me then.

Where are you?

I went thru SureTerm for my modded Disco. Fully comp, limited mileage (3k). £180. Not too bad, given that I was getting £400+ quotes from other 'specialist' insurers! :)

Rust is pretty much same as RRC. Inner arches, rear wheel archs, door sills, rear floor, rear crossmember under talkgate/door. With the Tdi just look for regular maintenance and a recipet to show timely cam belt change.

The only real difference that you have to worry about as S71 said is clutch differences as the clutch release on the boxes is different between some S2s and S3. I would just use the clutch off the old engine and that will work with the gearbox. The throttle linkage is different between...

Autobox problem is a clutch pack failure. Hi/Lo is probably because the linkages are semi-seized. Need cleaning and lubricating.

Right I get you :) The problem is that the 200Tdi rad has an inbuilt oil cooler. I would suggest that you cap the two connections to the cooler on the radiator while you use it with the petrol engine until you swap over and then you can plumb in the cooler pipes from the Tdi as originally...
