I upgraded to a nice 200tdi engine so I'm looking to sell my un-used 2.5na Engine. It has been Rebored, New Pistons, Rings, Shells, bearings, Head skimmed and new head gasket, all done by Kilmarnock Engine services, It has only done around 700 since the rebuilt and is a great engine, Starts on...

I've finally found the time to fit my 200tdi after fully rebuilding it, it runs like a charm, starts on the drop of a coin, smooth and no smoke but it seems a little low on power, I can't seem to get it past 65mph, which was the top speed of my old 2.5na so something seems weird to me. Any ideas?

Bought a replacement TD5 Binnacle and I upgraded from the mechanical speedo to an Electronic speedo but how do I get the speedo into the binnacle, there is a lip that appears to stop it going in. I guess I'm missing something stupid.

I can't seem to find an Air Cleaner assembly for a 200tdi Anywhere "esr370", Does anybody know if I can use the air cleaner from a 300tdi "esr2102". They look near identical, just not sure if the ends of the pipes are the same diameter.

After getting a Genuine Defender 200Tdi engine for a great price I Started the process of rebuilding it earlier this year, I got it all stripped down but then was too busy at work to start the rebuild. I've finally got the time So I've made a start on it. First step was to get the block Re...

I'm having a little trouble finding the correct length of bolt to remove my crankshaft sprocket, I've got the puller but the M5 bolts that come with the kit are only 60mm long but I need ones that are 80-100mm but just can't find any. Where did you guys get yours?

I'm having to strip off the aluminium half of my turbo so I can get to the bolt under it holding it onto the exhaust manifold but I'm a little stuck. I've removed the small 8mm nut at this end I was expecting to be able to pull the wheel out but nothing is moving at all Just to confirm...

I've taken my head off and was wondering if you can have a peek at the gasket and see if it looks ok First 4 pictures are the gasket and last 4 are the gasket off. I also can't seem to see these holes that tell me what thickness of gasket I need.

I'm in the process of fulling rebuilding my 200tdi, I will be sending the block and large bits to my mechanic who has a large cleaner. I'm wondering what's the best way to clean the auxiliaries, for example my injector pump is caked with mud and I'm a little nervous about cleaning it...

I've now taken delivery of my 200tdi and I'm looking to give it a full rebuild, I've got the 200tdi engine manual and a Basic Understanding, Do you think I should rebuild it myself or should I get somebody else to do the core components? I'm in 2 minds about it and I do feel a little Anxious :)

While she's in getting her new bulkhead fitted I decided to get a full respray at the same time with new wings and doors all round. First stage is the strip and prep.

I finally got my new bulkhead from Ashtree after a 12 week wait. Got it sprayed black and it's in the process of being fitted. My friendly local mechanic is doing the work for me due to lack of space and ****ty weather to do it outdoors in Scotland. I'll try to keep the pics to under 100 :D

as per title, I'm looking for a 200tdi engine preferably with the auxiliaries, I'm up in SW Scotland so looking for delivery if your far away.

I'm looking to replace my 2.5na with a 200tdi but the biggest problem is the ones that are on eBay I haven't seen running. I am intending to rebuild the engine, new rings, Pistons bearing, shells ect. Is it safe enough to buy an unseen lump off the bay?

Does anybody have any recommendations for a cover for my 90. There's a fair few on eBay but I want one that's not going to just rip and actually protect my truck :)

I got a full set of doors for my defender I went for series 3 doors with Anti Burst locks. I was just going to use some standard bolts to attach the door handle, is this ok or is there some kind of special bolt and or nut plate. Having a hard time finding out.

I've got new repair panels to weld in, well somebody else to weld in for me :) I got new corners, footwell some new door pillars, do I paint the back of the corners before they get welded in or just spray some wax oil in after they are welded in. Chris
