Yep, all changed, brand new core. It was a crap non-genuine rad we used, so it kinda distroyed itself internally!

Will do! Many thanks! :D

It was the rad!! Got it tested today for a fiver and its basically ****ed! We'll have a new one by friday :D Thank god its sorted, i was dreading a cracked block! :S Cheers for all the advice, has been a great help!

Great advice! Cheers!

Weve checked the engine over, changed the head gasket. That was fine. the engine isnt over heating, so it hasnt been cooked. Flushed the cooling system and oil, there still seems to be oil in the water, whether this is remaining oil or theres still a problem, we're not too sure. Checking the...

Never knew they had an oil cooler in the rad! cheers for the advice, ill check it out!

Weve got a 200tdi engine, and when putting in a thermostat i found white sludge in the coolant that would seem to be oil in the coolant. There is also a film of water in the oil when i drained some from the sump. Weve had the head tested and its all fine, hasnt been warped at all. we're...

Series of images Dr pepper- Should include a photo of the space between engine and rad

Ah, it was fairly easy plumbing up the rad, like you said the positions of the connections must be different between the 200 and 300 tdi

Yea it cost a little bit over what we expected!:eek: The props cost just short of £400, worth it as there heavy duty as well

Theres some phots in one album on my profile page, shows a bit of detail.

Its an 88" But there custom made wide headed prop shafts, to get past the funny angle from the range rover diffs, and the lower transfer box

When i get a chance ill flash a phot up of the engine and rad spacing

No probs :) We also have almost no space between the rad and engine, about 12mm or something stupid. So when we get a fan for it, its got to mounted in the front, between intercooler and rad! Tricky stuff lol Overall though, its been worth it, so far!

After 3 months finally we've managed to fit an LT77 5 speed box to our series 3 landy. Original shape is kept, as is the interior, so know one would know any wiser ;) with a Nice comfortable top speed of 85MPH It certainly a unique landy!

Its finally completed! LT77 defender gearbox is in and working a treat! Took 3 months but i can say totally worth it. 200Tdi conversion with LT77 gearbox, but keeping the original shape, with a Comfortable top speed of around 85MPH

Its in the garage, the old girl will soon have a new gearbox with a "quick release" bolt on cross member :D:D

Cheers Dr Pepper :D some pics here of the engine. hopefully the gearbox will soon follow!:D

Cheers Paul, sounds like a plan. I assume its best left for a garage for the cutting and shutting? The old gearbox isnt a problem and still works, just tired of using an overdrive and its still fairly slow :s 5 gears is more econominal and less agricultural then the s111 box!!

We phoned up ashcrofts, they stopped doing the kits 8 years ago for the mounting conversion :confused2: which is a bit of a bugger. As ive range rover axels with CV joints,wont they last in permenent 4x4?
