Ouch!! Actually I am very handy with a spanner and have changed engines, gearboxes and diffs on the old beast. But as it i sued 90% off road and pay and play, it was getting way to much like hard work to keep stripping and cleaning it and it would stop working just when I needed it most and...

I have an ex MOD 90 from Withams. It was in great mechanical condition but not the prettiest thing on earth. Yes they get hammered in service, but they also get maintained at no expense spared as well. Mine was totally sound mechanically. I drove it home on trade plates and MOTd it the next day...

Jump from another......

I got sick of the lack of power in under a thousand miles ad pt a 200Tdi in. Now I sme whenever I drive it.

I gave up and fitted an x brake. Worth every penny. It will hold on 70degree slope now.

You would be surprised!! According to the insurance company it is to do with assessment of liability. If the truck did not have seats belts as standard and you get in as a passenger and are injured you knew there were no seat belts so the assessed risk to the insurance company is lower. If I...

I have a pair of serviceable ex MOD front squab seats for sale.

I just put a new 200tdi radiator in mine with the Allard in front. I used the full 200tdi rad frame.

A hole in the road you throw money into......

i seem to recall that they pull into the back of the drum. When mine did the I put a screwdriver under the nut to lever forward and the undid the nut.

its a 200TDi and the radiator with built in oil cooler is brand new. I wonder if it might be left over oil drips from when I rebuilt the engine?

I just checked my coolant and the there is an orange greasy scum around the neck of the filler. It looks like the same texture as I get as scum on the top of my jacuzzi!! It does not look or smell like oil, the oil dips normal, the engine runs perfectly. I did run it hot when I had...

whats up with ear plugs and a hat?

I cut a hole in the wing and fitted a 200TDi snorkel kit to mine. This used the back part of the 200 vent which has a hose that runs through the engine compartment and connects to the filter housing. There is room under the heater to feed the hose through. When I switched from a 2.5NA to a...

I am curious, what wrong with rivets?

Like I said rubbish. I dont get any black smoke and pre dyno figure was 107, after intercooler a pump mods 132. It's much more responsive across the range and the fuel economy is better when driven normally. Not quite in the league of my GT3 but worth having!!! :blabla:

Rubbish. Large cooling surface and tweaked fuel pump make a massive difference. I have dyno figures to prove it. Problem with extra power is its hard on the transmission. I ended up with leaking diffs and transfer box.

I have an Allard full size intercooler and tweaked pump on my 200TDi and the increase is very noticeable. Just bear in mind that suddenly giving the thing more ooooomph is going to need paying for elsewhere in terms of shortening component life from the extra load. I ended up with leaks all...

If you are going wading you would be well advised to fit breathers. I have a full set fit to mine since I knackered a diff wading and sucking cold water in. Turned the oil to a white foam!!
