    200tdi seams gutless compared to 300tdi?

    Cheers for the advice! Put a new air filter on, as old seemed to be sooty from slight leak on exhaust joint, but no real difference . New intercooler and it’s like a completely different machine. Driving a treat now!

    200tdi seams gutless compared to 300tdi?

    So are you saying you shouldn’t be able to hear the turbo on the 300 if it’s running properly? I’m not saying it’s really loud, you can just hear it clearly. Again, I’ve had the 300 a long time, it has always sounded like that, always drives great, looks to be completely standard factory engine...

    200tdi seams gutless compared to 300tdi?

    Just back to my original question, Should I be able to hear the turbo whistling away if it’s working properly…….like I can in the 300?

    200tdi seams gutless compared to 300tdi?

    No, not done any of that, but it all looked sound when I it it all together about 28 months ago after rebuild. Will check all the pipes you mentioned, but the only thing I think would be likely poor is the intercooler.

    200tdi seams gutless compared to 300tdi?

    can anyone recommend a good diesel specialist used to working on and tuning up these landrover engines? I took it to south Manchester diesels who I thought seemed good at the time but they obviously didnt know enough to realize it still isn’t 100%. Manchester/north Manchester/ Yorkshire based...

    200tdi seams gutless compared to 300tdi?

    I did check all valve clearances when I fitted the new head and pretty sure I set everything to the letter. Must admit the outside of intercooler does look a bit grotty, so maybe I’ll start there? Good to hear again that I should be able to get the 200 to match the 300. Pretty certain my 300 is...

    200tdi seams gutless compared to 300tdi?

    I rebuilt my 200tdi 90 doing the injectors turbo and new head and tuned up by a diesel specialist and was pretty happy with it, seemed like a good sound low mileage engine, and pulls nice. But I had to take it off the road for a while and dodged up my old 90 with a 300 in it. Back in the 200 I...

    Injection pump power screw

    Mass Panic over! I hate these random coincidences that send you down the garden path! So I thought I start from basics and check the fuel was getting through to the filter. After a load of priming all I was getting was a little wheezing sound from somewhere. Found a cheap Chinese fuel tap in...

    Injection pump power screw

    I can’t be certain, but I think I might have cocked my power screw setting up and need an idea of how to get it back to nominal point before trying to adjust. so the 200tdi disco engined defender I’m j working on at the minute was running really well. I did a load of miles in it recently, no...

    Lift up defender door handle key blanks

    No they don’t seam to have the blanks, and from what I can see advertised on internet there’s plenty of ignition blanks but no sign of these old style door key blanks. They’re different shap to the back door keys and the old series keys annoyingly.

    Lift up defender door handle key blanks

    Does anyone have any idea if and where it is possible to get spare keys, or banks for cutting, for the early lift up handle front doors. The replacement pair of barrels and two keys is code MUC4146 so the keys must still be made somewhere. These barrel kits aren’t a vast amount but I can’t be...

    Clean air zone age related exemptions?

    I think I’ve worked this one out. It must be to do with the new tax rates that came into play in 2001 for 4x4s I think. All defenders snd other pickups registered before this seem to be coming up as classed as cars on clean air charge system. After 2001 they are coming up as vans. Not a 20 year...

    Clear air zone greater manchester

    What year is yours? Clean air charging system seams to have all defenders and other pickups classed as cars Pre-2001. After that only factory county estate cars seem to be classed as cars. I’d be surprised if it’s easy to get changed, but maybe if you have all round windows and regulation seats...

In Manchester cars are exempt for who knows how long Vans won’t be There is a government web page vehicle checker for clean air zones now to find out if charges...

    Death wobble experience

    Yes it’s a bit of a gutter when you pay good money to get a job done when you know you’d be able to do it yourself but want to be certain it’s done perfect……and then they do a half arsed job.
