just noticed that it appears turbomans post about me going to prision has been removed so have currently explained a lot of personal stuff for nothing crap

also editied

personal info now editited

kind of robbing the thread but worth asking , are 200tdi and 300 tdi cranks the same? what about pistons and rods? if they are ill keep my 300tdi block rather than scrap it

i will defo need a new timing case as its been hit on the fuel pump side and has bent the cover and the fuel pump backwards , that caused the belt to get chucked off and bent the pushrods , how did yours sustain damage?

cheers for that , makes it sound terrible lol just to clarify it was a dangerous driving charge , there are circomestances surrounding it which made it better and worse , no prision in the end instead i had 18 month driving ban,12 month suspended prision sentance,£400 fine and 30 day community...

may not be able to update for a few weeks/months as unsure if im going away today

it should be ok , havent seen many of theese which have had further damage , getting a timing case seems to be the difficult bit !

they are the moest bent ones i have seen from a tdi engine , had to wiggle the cam pulley and bend the tods back the other way to get them out , high speed impact for sure , have seen the chassis that this engine was removed from and it was bent in the middle , also need a new steel engine mount...

yeah new belt and tensioner as i think the old one was stretched and chewed when the timing case got bent , will have a new waterpump too just to make sure everything is spot on as i dont like only doing half a job ! need to find a disco timing case now

thats the way im going too , basic defender chassis but galved anyways bit more productive day today , had a set of mazda RX8 seats delivered from a local lad i buy bits off , got them for £30, although not bolted in yet they seem perfect for the job and are comfortable then we have the bad...

i think this will be the story untill she gets a galv unit under her although i dont see too much of an issue as i have now had my defender 200tdi engine delivered i have an original 200tdi defender (apart from chassis) for £500 so far as i paid £100 for the engine ! :) so definatly going to...

just done a deal on an original 200tdi defender engine out of an accident damaged 90 , will post pics up when it arrives on the weekend , if anyone has some to sell i need timing case and turbo oil pipes , the timing case is slightly distorted on the bottom bolt

heavily modified or heavily repaired? as untill galvanised chassies became common there were many defender whos chassis was nothing but patches and fabricated repairs i think when it comes to it as the chassis is being made to defender spec with all old brackets removed , theres no trace of the...

true , if the disco ID was used especially round here i wouldent be able to drive 500ft between getting pulled over , id never get anywhere on time after explaning , when it comes to it the main disco part used is 2 chassis rails as body mounts,crossmember ect iss all defender , 2 pieces of...

when it comes to this if i do fit an orignal galv chassis when i can afford it then this one is a tempory measure much like replacing a TDI engine with an old TD as a tempory measure untill you find another TDI :) as for my original chassis i woulnt have been able to do anything with the...

that would be the way i would try and go is by saying the body is the car, in a reverse role that is certianally the case with the discovery the chassis was removed from , nobody who looks at it would call it a discovery and how many defenders have had rear half chassis replaced? then patches...
