Well I understand max draw will be 16.6 amps but am not intending using too much

Thanks, (re the plug) any links to any stockist please?

Am running two 16 amp wires up to light bar to run 4 x 100 watt lamps. I want to put a connecting plug in the line, something like a superseal but cant find one rated high enough. Any suggestions please?

Its not the sump gasket, its above the spacer (Ladder frame) which I am not sure can be removed from underneath?

Hi, I have two annoying oil leaks which seem to be where the thick allumium spacer (which the sump bolts to) connects to the block. Question is can I remove this from underneath to fix? (200 tdi)

Ok big technical question! My previous sump had a large steel plug in it. My current has a brass one with a smaller (3/4 inch?) plug in it. Do I use the flat sump plug washer or the one that has a sort of double wall and compresses?

If I disconnect the pipe (to air filter) from the cyclone breather and put my finger over the cyclone breather outlet, I get quite a bit of pressure there. Is that normal?

A blockage in the return pipe which goes back to the tank?

Just got the engine back in after a full recon. Sounds and runs lovely but oil dripping from both wading plug holes, so front and rear crank oil seal not holding! Has to come out again. My recon man used a Payen Dv720 full gasket set which had the seals in. Could really do without this! Anyone...

Put a socket and bar on the nut of the crankshaft pulley and turn engine over until you get the resistance on the lift pump lever. It will be stuck on the cam at the moment

I rebuilt with a kit and had a few problems. Would have been better to get exchange which are very reasonable, particularly at MM4X4

Got it. Have a pip to fit to it as well. Sorry must have been in sun too long!:rolleyes:

Thanks (do you mean water or oil??) And why do I have one on a 200 tdi?

Here is a diagram of said pipe. Any views pleasee

Thanks James, 220,000 miles and engine overhaul. Should I change it?

Does the 200 tdi have an oil thermostat in the filter housing??

Have changed the front down pipe on 200tdi. There is a heat shield which sits on exhaust about underneath the clutch slave cylinder. Searched but can't find this mentioned anywhere or available on fleabay. Two questions. 1) Do I need one? 2) If so where can I get one! Cheers

The Oil cooler which sits by side of radiator. This has two pipes with threaded connections to it. But right at the op there is a small (breather??) pipe which looks like it should have some kind of rubber pipe on it. Should it and if so where does it go!

Ok on an engine rebuild. Can anyone talk me through (why) and how you align vacuum pump. There is the bottom base which fits onto a splined shaft, then the pump itself which fits in a key way. Thanks

200 tdi, so good running? (for how long?)
