I'm sure Britannica restorations has a video on the above

The wheel boxes blocking can be down to a few things, disassemble then reassemble the wheel box and wiper mech making sure everything is good and tight and well lubed then there is a flexible tab on the back of the wiper box which takes out some of the weeble wobble In the craptacular gearboxes...

Checked everything problems were many as usual. Alternator alignment was poor and pulley wheel damaged so was shredding belts so constantly running slack so charge output was poor or inconsistent. Fixed that. Battery was draining constantly slowly, not from issues with vehicle wiring just a...

Well I have some starting issues. Top put in context, the vehicle is a 200tdi. Its had a new starter motor which is in good health. Its just had a new alternator - as my alternator was dead, the replaced with one from a mate which was also dead, and then replaced with a new one. The three...

Thanks for the reposes gents! Im going to get a compression test done and check the oil pressure - I don't think my filler cap will dance around like diane abbot on crack but will try the test and film the results. Engines now at about 170K which should just be nicely bedded in for a 200...

edit to add - You know you have screwed priorities when you start considering a different ration tran box for a car that isnt currently running *smile through the madness!*

Thanks for the suggestions lads! I do have a compression tester somewhere kicking about but its of the bung type you jam in to spark plug holes and im not entirely certain where to shove it in her... ( the car not diane abbott ) i would have thought it might shove in to an injector hole.. (...

Didnt mean to come accross arsey! - Im rather wearing of loading my money pit onto the back of a van and waving it off never to be seen again! i hear you!

Is that what happened to you? Looking for personal experiences/ recommendations - My own heads good enough at making up reasons not to stick my hand in my pocket!

Looking for opinions. So my 200 TDI is running absolutely fine but has been struggling to start - Im wondering if its time to replace the engine.... read on. Alternator is the likely culprit from my tests for the starting struggle, i replaced the starter motor two years ago with a good one and...

Behind on work so didn't fiddle till later, got the new stud in and fitted the injector back in, I was expecting new injector nozzles to make a massive difference, done nothing for speed, slower at the top end if anything, struggling to get 75mph (gps) but definitely picks up quicker , idle a...

Didn't want to chance the vice grips incase it was brittle and was just going to break away on me, anyway new studs here from craddocks, I feel like I should have bought 10 of them. Any tips for how tight to do the stud up? Think ive read somewhere it was something's like 3NM, or something...

Rebuilt my injectors last night on the 200tdi, sheered a stud torquing them up this morning as no/3 leaked So this evening welded a nut on and got the stud out, new one coming tomorrow Started to come in dark, was going to do my tappets/valve clearance but ran out of time, Fitted a new rocker...

Landys off the road since passing her MOT ( oh the irony ) Landy has been feeling sluggish and found a split hose ( both ends ) from the waste gate actuator hose some new hose on order so will see what that is like. Cut it down short for the time being but new hose on order. Took the...

So just asking for some advice from anyone running a 2 inch lift or similar. Landys been running great (200tdi 90") and I'm doing a few more work miles in it than I used to. The defenders been lifted two inch at some point, when it was rebuilt it was fitted with the correct radius and trailing...

Yes I think I the second plug is for a second tank; the diagram suggests there is wiring for a left and a right tank. Anywho, I'm bloody glad it's sorted, just found thousands of unresolved threads and topics over the last few weeks on this issue and thought I would end up removing the bulb as...

So my low fuel lights been on the last two years I've owned my Landy; 200tdi from 1991. After buying it I was so poor I couldn't fill the thing and I couldn't ever remember the light not being on It was in my ownership rebuilt onto a new chassis (professionally) and fitted with a new tank and...

Angle grind the head off, get the shank with mole grips. It it resists your most half assed efforts at removal; cut and fit new fixings. Saves time.

for the sake of £6 put a new filter on and see if it works -

Just saying i had exactly the same problems - 200 tdi did 300+ mile round trip in it on the monday - 50 miles on the tuesday then a few miles in the village on wednesday - came to it on thursday and got a mile from home and realised i just couldnt get out of first gear - absolutely no power -...
