Maybe someone fitted new o ring and left old one in there.

Also worth noting that the TDV6 was used in lots and lots of vehicles. Loads of Land Rover products from a D3, thru FFRR, RRS, D5 and Velar. But it was also used in a whole heap of Jaguars too, as well as Ford's, Citroen's and Peugeot's. And is...

I read that they stroked the old 2.7 to make the 3.0, and this made the slightly dodgy crank even weaker. I can remember when the 3.0 was new and all the owners were saying sell your 2.7 as the new 3.0 as it is much better! I think the 3.0 in...

Hiya ppl , I ain’t been on for years now, As the tittle says I brought a rough running v8 90 3.9 efi . Ticked over nice but as soon as you revved it up it was spluttering dying coughing all over the place, kept losing pressure on the fpr...

TBH the TDV6 & SDV6 are not the strongest most reliable engine to start with, when you consider the crank snapping issues, I would think putting anymore stress on it would not be a good idea. J

I realise that, but people will take the psis and want it for 20 quid.

I think that is a 300tdi VE pump. O rings possibly the sme.

If that is an A127 alternator, it is three screws and a few minutes to drop in a new brush pack, I think newer A127 on 300 motors are different.

Double check connections ? With alternators the usual suspects are brushes and their contact rings, voltage regulator, and rectifier. How to check/repair alternators on you tube. This does mean removal and opening it up.

Depending on how you get on, it might pay you to break it, engine alone with ancilleries/rads is worth 1k, check out defender 200 tdi engine parts prices on ebay etc. Galv chassis must be worth the same. Daft things like roof lining are worth money.

Welcome to LZ. Vehicle details will help.

Stories I have read about the quality of new ones might mean rechroming yours is a sound idea.

Ah okay, i only asked as I once had this with my d2 parked in certain places it would not unlock and sometimes crank and not start, push it a few yards and it would be back to normal.

Car parked in the same place?

Not sure how a worn spigot bush would cause a noise? Maybe get someone to lay underneath and see how she rattles when the engine stops.

We had that a few years back.

Sounds like it is gearbox out time again. Could be friction plate damper springs.

And the very best of British luck be with you that it doesn't throw its crank. ;)

Which 200tdi? Def or Disco.

Naw...my DNA is Rhodesian and does not like coldness...

I think the inbreeding effects the ability to feel the cold.

Have you adjusted anything else?

You poor lost soul! Or how did you manage to find yourself? Or whats it like being the only one missing?
