Ok.It lost oil pressure and I had to keep going, towing a trailer. It didn't do it any favours
Don’t know any around here.
Don’t forget disco engines fit, just change the manifold & gearbox back plate
I should of said, it is a disco 200tdi the previous owner fitted as the 19J ate itself!

Ah.
200's are getting harder to find for sensible money now, gone are the days of the £200 Disco1's and proper Defender motors are getting silly

I feel it may be that I will have to repair this one and keep using the P38 until it is running again.Ah.

Well that’s even easier.
So you say you lost oil pressure…. As said compression test and see what it is.
Now if you lost too much pressure you would/could have ate the turbo due to lack of oil.you would have heard this as the engine screams it’s last breath….
investigate first… then panic
It runs, it just sounds like a lot of jangly nuts and bolts being smacked around at 750 rpm!!!

It is, but I think a full rebuild is the way to go now. The engine will then out last me!!easy to drop the sump to 'wiggle' the bigends

I finished repairing my dumb irons today. It was a home fabrication jobbie where I used 3" box section and 80x40x3.5mm rectangular box section.
It's been a bit tricky at times but I think I have made a good enough job for 2 or 3 years until I consider a chassis change.

Your chassis legs looked like mine do…

Yup, that’s what I did last weekend! I wasn’t expecting what I found!
Scary isn't it! You dred looking at anything else. I need to look at my outriggers next, then possibly the rear crossmember - oh joy!

The bulkhead and door were like this when I started so frankly, it’s all a bonus.I've spent more time on my doors than anything else on the landy... They still don't shut right

Have you got a thread showing the work you have done to your doors and bulkhead? It looks like some serious work has been done there.
