I had to get a pipe made up for the clutch master on my 73 S3, can't remember exactly why but different side unions vs the pipe I had. Took it to a local hydraulics place and they make me up a new pipe the same day for a few quid.

What have you got to lose by just throwing some new bearings in and putting it back together?

Try cleaning your potato before taking anymore photos ;)

I'd probably grind the heads off those bolts to get the cover off, then tackle the stud that's left in the casing. Edit, too slow on that reply. Yes, I've currently got a 200tdi almost fully build up, turbo, manifolds, etc. on a Clarke 350kg engine stand using the four bolt holes mentioned above.

Now sold

Morning all, Camshaft bearing installation/removal tool, MaxSpeedingRods brand. Worked a treat for me when changing 200 tdi camshaft bearings, now no longer required (hopefully...). One of the sleeves is slightly damaged but still worked fine. £25 inc postage.

Morning all, Taken from a Discovery 200 tdi that was sold to me as running, but its since undergone a full rebuild. Exhaust manifold, all studs good. £50 Inlet manifold. £20 Turbo, slight play in the shaft but cannot say for sure how it was when running. £70. All located in Swindon or...

Evening all, Has anyone got a definitive answer to the quantity and order of the rocker shaft washers on a 200 tdi? The photo below shows what came off mine, which matches a Britanica Restorations video, but parts diagrams seem to show more/different order. With another diagram showing qty of...

They're bolts..

Last photo looks like timing chain parts

Thanks for the post, I actually got myself a 200 tdi which is undergoing a full rebuild currently, so thanks but I'm all good now!

Afternoon all, Another chapter in the 200 tdi saga. Whilst getting the crank gear/pulley off (very tight, needed a puller), the timing case got a little damaged, as per photos. A bit of crack and the hole for the oil seal is slightly out of round. Any suggestions? Waiting to hear back from...

Thanks for affirmation, have contacted the seller who's sending a new one out.

New gasket arrived slightly bent, no crease in the ring but looks to be coming away from the gasket slightly. Tempted to put it in knowing the pressure from torquing up, but would be good to have opinions.

Wasn't quite happy with putting it back together knowing the cam was stiffer than it should be. Took a razor blade to the shiney spots on the cam bearing and gently reamed it down, took a few attempts but now turns freely with only a small amount of bearing removed. Core plugs back in and...

New bushes arrived today, much easier to fit, straight in and easily aligned. However, bearing no. 1 is a little stiff to turn, tried shifting it back and forward a couple of times in case it was misaligned but didn't help. Tempted to carry on with the build and hope it beds in slightly...

Your 101 is terrible, but if it's genuine have you contacted the RNRMORT?

No... I hadn't seen that! Thanks Steve, that's helped a lot. The most frustrating bit was using the Turner split bearings, as you couldn't tighten the tool without opening the bearing up too much to fit in the opening, then you also had the ridge when fitted. So I'll use the suggestion from...

So it turns out installing new cam bearings is a bit of a pain. Took a while to get each bearings lined up with the oil port in the block, taking a few attempts with a couple of the bearings which didn't help the finish. Bearing no.3 now had a ridge where the split/gap is on the bearing...

Afternoon all, I'm looking to swap my original 2.25 diesel ignition barrel (w/ pull to stop) for a Defender barrel giving the right terminals for a 200 tdi conversion. Can anyone confirm which part numbers actually fit the Series steering column? The research I've some has suggested there are...
