Ah, right so it's missing a half moon seal from the end. Thanks.

I have an oil leak from the rear of my head gasket casing. When running, oil kind of sputters out every now and again. If i put my finger down there i can feel a semi circle shape opening there. Should that be covered or sealed? What do i need to do to sort it out? I've tried to take a picture...

Thanks, found problem. Wire was nicked to stop solenoid. Fires up like a dream now!

My 200tdi cranks but doesn't start. It might be the stop solenoid. Should I be getting a 12v reading from the multimeter between the solenoid and the battery negative while ignition is on?

After looking and original advice, I think I'm going to change all over to 24V. Glow plugs are cheap, stop solenoid shouldn't be a problem. Just need to locate a starter... Time to go on a hunt.

Also not a bad idea, but presumably I'd need to wire in a relay from the ignition? Regarding the gearbox, I still had to change the crank bush (which was a total pain until I was leant a slide hammer) and tap one hole, but apart from that it is a neat fit!

Thanks all. At least I know that if the project is a total failure, there will still be some value in the engine ;)

It's two 12v in series. This is a solution I like the sound of. The closer to "stock" I can keep the 200tdi, the easier it will be to maintain in the future... Can I wire those components directly from just one battery, essentially setting up a 12v and 24v supply? Every time I think about this...

Thanks. That's a good shout. My instinct is that the starter will turn twice as quickly. Ok for a check, but not a permanent solution. I'll be getting to a point when I want to turn it over in the next week or so. Hopefully I'll have some more info by then.

Hi all. I've joined up on here to get some advice (and hopefully give any!) as I learn doing my project fitting a 200tdi engine. To explain, I don't have a land rover but am attempting a camper conversion from a 1980s CVE Omni minibus. This was originally based on the 2.5l freight rover, but...

Okey dokey. Thanks for your help. Do you think it will start without changing those things, just so I can check everything else or will I do it a mischief?

Thanks for your reply. Damn, I gave away the original lump already. I'll have to ask if I can get them. Where is the stop solenoid?

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm struggling to find any information or advice about a project I have foolishly started and hopefully someone can help me out or point me in the right direction. I'm converting an old minibus (CVE Omni) into a camper. It originally had a freight rover 2.5l that...
