Do they come with the integrated oil cooler? Cant get pics on my phone at the moment. Was looking into moving the oil cooler lines to a remote unit and using a bespoke radiator and intercooler. A wider unit with a bit more depth! But as yet I havent had any cooling issues with std!

I personally would clean up the mating surface of the bolt shoulder and the surface on the diff. Clean the threads out, get yourself a copper crush washer, use rtv on the threads and torque up the drain bolt correctly. I had a similar issue years ago and this mether provided a good mating of the...

I drive my 300tdi 90 daily. Have done a good 1200 miles since having it mot'd a month ago, its quite comfy for my commute (luckily its now a 6mile 60mph commute). The cost of commuting weekly is around £10-15, so very affordable. My old job was . Weekly commute of 400miles so I assume thst it...

Hi all My 300 tdi is approaching 20 years old, but has only covered a mere 100k miles, still I appreciate the truck and want to keep on top of servicing and reliability as a result. I plan on keeping the 90 long term and would like to get the turbo rebuilt professionally, whilst possibly...

kenny have you got a roof, sides and rear door too?

Getting there! The amount of love this thing has had, might not bother with the td5 and just vnt this! :) Rotten Chassis repair

Is that a cummins i6? hehe! I have a very solid 90 tbh, so was tempted with the td5 swap in to my chassis.

I got a bit brave and cut off the end of my 90 last night. I had a few hours spare and thought it was a good idea. The plan was to buy a vnt for the 90, however last night I saw a td5 90 with a few simple mods, making the right noises and power, which is exactly where I would like my 300 to...

more fuel, more boost, cooler air (meaning more air) - but where do you need the power? lower revs? might be worth considering a VNT. generally bigger intercooler allows you to cool air quick and more effectively, allowing you to run a bigger turbo without major issue, but of course then you...

kind of as above - does your van use an electric pump to pull fuel from the tank to the mech pump?

Any poles with it?

mechanical fuel injected engine, not electric in anyway other than a stop solenoid. So, as others have tried to inform you, you cannot remap your engine. it doesn't have a map, it does have a mechanical pump which can be adjusted, but also you'll need to alter the boost and idle to...

Well I thought I would update this thread with the outcome. The disco was in a very bad way. when we removed metal to weld fresh, it was just more and more rust - it got to a point where my mate advised me he couldn't do the welding for the price he quoted, and still be happy with the car being...

Well I have decided to bite the bullet, and pay for a friend to weld the sills and body mounts up. Looks like Ill be a social recluse this month! At least the GP is on! The joys of landy ownership!

Porthcawl, South Wales... for next fortnight then off to Aberaeron! Hadn't realised I didn't put it in my profile! Sorted now :) I cant afford it more so because of the move of home. Money will be tight for a few months... As for keeping it, it isnt really an option due to room :(

well currently the car's life is hanging on a coin toss... I cant really afford to spend the money required to fix her, and nor can I afford to lose a great deal of money on her. Its a case of do I offer her as a project (needs inner and outer sills both sides and a rear body mount replacing)...

the timing isn't effected at all when you do the head gasket :)

if its faster it would suggest to me you don't have any compression or not enough anyway. check your tappets mate.

When you start to crank it over, does it feel quicker on the starter than normal?

have you checked your manifold gasket? Mine was pretty perished when removed. Your other choice is using a nice long rod have a feel around the engine to try and find where its coming from. Using this technique I found a bent rod in my old race engine which was only present over 4500rpm upto 7500.
