The DeWalt DCF899 that I got recently has a claimed breakaway (unscrew only) torque of 1620 Nm. I don't have a way to verify that claim, but so far it has proved plenty powerful. Unless you're planning to use it doing more than occasional landy repairs, you shouldn't have to worry about...

All the rocker settings measure 0.2 mm so it would seem to me there won't be a problem with bent push rods or valve seats, is that correct? I've ordered the parts to put in a breather hose, like on a normal 300 Tdi. As I will have to replace the extra-long injector pump bracket with a normal...

Changed the turbo for another 2nd hand one, re-checked and no oil into the intercooler so far but after a while oil starts pouring out of the cyclone outlet, which I've disconnected from going into the air intake. I'll have to look under the rocker cover again.

It was originally, according to the 18L number, but not currently. No electronics at all.

Yes, that will work if the leakage current is significantly less than around 10mA. You could try measuring the amount of current that flowing in the "ghost" mode. (N.B. when using a multimeter on mA it's easy to blow it up, so careful not to put it across the 12V and ground setting it back on a...

Thanks, I'll contact them.

You suggest asking someone like Turner Engineering, hadn't thought of that. I guess I can find them on Google. The only guys I've had dealings with so far has been Ashcroft, but they're speciality isn't engines, unless I'm wrong (which I could easily be). Yes, maybe the long-term thing is to get...

Yes, I did have the rocker cover off to have a look, but it all looks normal so far. Can't seen any obvious damage or anomaly.

I've been running this 110 for around 5 years now, no problem like this came up. It's looking like my problem might actually be the turbo oil seals. I've sourced a 2nd hand one from Ebay, and see what happens when that goes in. The guy I bought it from claimed the engine had been some kind of...

Hi, no there isn't even a place for the pipe. Instead there's a blanking plate and a longer than standard bracket for the IP, as this photo shows:

Yes, that's very likely, especially as they're LEDs: unlike a normal light bulb, if just a tiny amount of current flows through it, as can happen with an earth fault, a LED will glow faintly – which is your symptom.

Looks most like the turbo seals are gone, so I found a 2nd hand one on Ebay. Hope it's Ok... We'll see when it comes in about a week.

The injector pump on my 300 Tdi has a longer than standard mount, bolted to a blanking plate (the picture above), instead of a normal length mount, bolted to a casting with the crankcase breather outlet, as in this picture I borrowed from the net. So the mystery remains: how does the crankcase...

My experience: My wife was happy driving our previous RR classic, but not really happy driving the 110. It is a bit noisy (even if I don't think the 300Tdi sounds like a tractor!) On our camping trips with 3 kids and big dog it works out fine. A 90 wouldn't be big enough. Our dog is now getting...

So weird. Is it supposed to be a crew-cab pickup?

Here are some photos, a little bit better quality than before. The first is a better photo of the rocker cover, the second is where the injector box is mounted, over the plate where the crankcase breather outlet should be. I remember the guy I bought the 110 from claimed that the engine serial...

Before cleaning up the mess, I had oil both sides of the turbo inlet, which is what led me up to the cyclone unit. When taking off the intercooler, as soon as the bottom hose was being removed oil gushed out – really full of it... It's been a few years since I did a head job, but if necessary I...

Ok, so if there's too little turbo bearing play it could indicate the bearings are partially seized? A new turbo cartridge sounds like less work than a head job :)

Have to admit, I'm a bit nervous out the possibility of diesel runaway. I started it up again and ran it for a few minutes on idle. Started up right away like normal, pressure off the oil filler is normal. I didn't feel like taking it for a run in case the intercooler filled up again. When it...

Hi, my 300Tdi on a 110 County, but originally from a Disco, was filling the intercooler with oil. After checking the turbo, which seems fine, and replacing the manifold gasket which was actually on its way out, the filling continued. The source was traced back to the cyclone unit. Doesn't seem...
