haha yes I mean diesel, it's just that english isn't my first language , and I took a bad habit of using "petrol" to describe any fuel

by the way talking about that, on the paperwork it simply says land rover 200tdi engine swap so I am not entirely sure if I have a disco or defender 200tdi , if I have the exhaust manifold and turbo going up from the head then it is a defender 200tdi isn't it ?
Yes your pictures show a defender turbo setup with the turbo at the top
I think that was one of the main differences between 200 & 300 that they moved the pump at the request of the men in green to make changing it easier but introducing airlock problems

I swear the OP said it was a Disco lump but just checked the first post and he didn't .
So, maxlondon , ignore my post in relation to the temp sender ok.
Ah but you never know it could be a disco motor with a defender turbo fitted

This kind of thread is always useful and interesting. Its refreshing to find someone who fully admits his/her limitations and is not afraid to ask. Also good to see so many willing to help. LZ at its best.
Edit; I should also add. It gets tiresome when "some" come on, ask a question, get their answer and P off without even a nod.
