Thanks Guys. I will drag in and pull it apart this week!

its a 200TDI that I put into an ex MOD 90. I think the heat exchanger part must be full of silt as it does not get very hot!

My heater is not very efficient and after having to jet wash the radiator and Allard intercooler following a dunking in the quarry I am suspect that the heater is probably filled with silt as well. Any guides on how to get at it and clean it all up?

I have marine ply as suggested above in my tub thats removable so if it does get wet I just lift the board on its side and it can dry out.

Just a quick update, the leak was indeed the hub oil seal failing. However it was caused by the half shaft end being so grooved that it just ripped the seal apart. So one new half shaft and a seal later and its sorted. Only cost me £80 to do the lot so not too horrible. Sorted the track rod...

OK, I thought it might be something along those lines! I will order some up and swap them out.

Came to MOT the Landy yesterday and the rear nearside brakes are covered in EP oil that appears to have leaked out of the axle. Whats this likely to be?

Do you need to take it off? On mine I just roll it up onto the roll bar. Works fine like that and easy to put back when it starts raining! Flt Lt, 12 years...... :)

It's a military offence not a civilian one and its perfectly legal for a civvie to be in possession of spent blank cartridge cases. The offence is in removing unfired rounds. You can buy blank shell cases at all sorts of gift shops as key rings etc.

In the scheme of utterly useless concepts it gets my vote. Go for it!!!! :)

Its whats on mine and it passes every year.

Holy ****, thats shocking. I am a coded welder (only weld for fun) and would be embarrassed to serve up **** like that.

make sure you grind off the galv before you weld or you will end up with Galv flu.......

I have a Thermal Arc multi mode inverter welder that does MIG/TIG/ARC and its amazing. None of the issues of a transformer welder and gives really nice welds in all positions. I also have a Migmate 130 and its terrible in comparison. I keep it rigged for quick stainless jobs like fixing...

The military electrics go in the hole on the rear crossmember to the RHS of the NATO hitch. I left mine where it was when I put the Dixon drop bar on just add a standard power socket to the drop bar mounts. I then use a NATO hitch on a drop plate so I can change the hitch to suit between our...

I am using the 19J silencer with the mid section removed on my 200TDi. No extra noise but seems to spin the turbo up faster.

Yep, you have a short somewhere. Most likely on the live from the battery to the engine. Its a fire risk as well as a pain in the ass!

Which is exactly what mine was doing before the glow plug swap.

All of mine were knackered and still the light glowed. I think the light is wired from the timer solenoid not from the actual 12V on the pugs.

I know I will get shot down by the 'I don't have them/ they don't need them brigade' but.... I similar problems on mine and it turned out all the glow plugs had failed. £12 later and its starts without problem in the coldest of weather.
