    2.25D to 200tdi - keep the turbo or not?

    I have a 2.25 diesel and have aquired a 200tdi with all ancillaries. I know it's more or less a straight replacement and is easier with the turbo off. That aside, should I keep it or not? I've heard that the turbo version could rip through the series gearbox and prop shafts and a non turbo is...

    Won't go into gear when hot.

    With a hot engine/gearbox my 2.25 series diesel won't go into any forward gears in high range. If I select low range first and pull forward, I can then put it in high range and the forward gears work fine. Reverese works ok regardless. With a cold gearbox the high range works fine. Problem only...

    Series 2.25 diesel oil filler neck

    I have a series 2.25 diesel and on the oil filler neck is a small 'T' off. This has been blocked with a bolt by the previous owner. I assume it it supposed to be for some sort of breather hose. Am I correct and where should it be connected to?

    Proving Series 2 is MOT exempt

    I have a series 2 landrover which was first registered on 9th January 1960. I believe with the new year, time to get it on a forecourt, time it took to find a buyer, and time it takes to get a vehicle registered, the must have been built in 1959, and would therefore be MOT exempt. Can anyone...

    Horns not working!

    Hi. Both horns will not work when using either of the switches on the steering wheel. I've checked both the fuse under the dash and also the one in the engine compartment, and both are ok. The horns however do work when the alarm goes off. Any ideas? Thanks.

    TD5 on Biodiesel

    I know this has been discussed many times before and most comments are negative, with few positive comments, but I'm thinking of trying it with a few precautions! I understand that the oil is thicker, hence I intend on using a preheater upstream of the injectors, but downstream of the fuel...
