Bugger, I have been offered another box in exchange for mine with a slight crunch going into fourth? Apparently there's a local chap who repaid gearboxes who can do it for around £80 plus parts. Worth fixing mine or changing for this other box if I get the problem sorted. Can't be without the...

Evening, Think my gearbox is broken :( only reverse though. It's in my 1986 90 LT77 original box as far as I'm aware so should be around 110000 miles. Last few months it's been getting really difficult to select reverse, then I got stuck in some sticky mud and spent a while going first to...

When I got my first quote at 17 from aviva last year in May it was £900 fully comp, then because I waited until June to buy that quote, the price changed to Junes premiums which were £1500. They know about the tdi transplant, bigger tyres, alloys, spotlights and my 3 points.:o

Did this [/IMG]

I'm 18 now, got my 2.5 petrol 90 last year for £350, for an mot it needed new light units all round, a new passenger footwell and a spot of weld on the tow bracket. Insurance through aviva for £1500 I think. I have loved my first year with it, especially after a tdi transplant and it's only...

Yesterday, fixed ALL of the electrical problems (no fan, fuel gauge goes up with lights or fan switched on, all dash lights come on when ignition switched, can't start Landy with lights on) with one screw as I might have forgotten to re-attach an earth on the bulkhead when I swapped front petrol...

Maybe try with the dash light switch off, I have had loads of trouble with these recently.

Sounds like the same noise I recently had which was front propshaft UJs. I ignored it for a few weeks and the prop gave way on Thursday. Not trying to scare you but that's what mine was.

Put me new prop on, what a job 6/8 of the nuts came nicely and the other to... Well, not so. The prop made a good job of bludgeoning them on its way around. Took the transfer box flange off to out the new bolts in and it decided to pi55 itself all over my arm, must have been well overfilled as...

Broked it :(:o:mad: [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

I think the tank breathes through the cap, at least the early ones do.

I will have a look when I get a chance, thanks for all your help!

Thanks cowasaki. Had a little look this evening after I gave up trying to undo the propshaft bolts to sort the UJs. And I noticed that I don't need the ignition on to turn the gauges on. I switched on the lights and the 2 original gauges (water temp, fuel) both shot up without the keys even in...

Proper job, will give it a try after lunch, cheers,

So it could be a buggered sender from brookwells? Cheers

Morning, recently I replaced my temp sender after my gauge suddenly stopped working on Christmas Day, I replaced the item with a 2.5petrol sender as that is the engine that was in my 90 before the 200tdi swap. The sender got the gauge working again, but now as soon the key is turned in the...

Fixed it! Pipes between the wastegate and turbo nozzle was broken and the pipe from the fuel pump to turbo was broken aswell. Result: Wow! It's never been so fast, so much torque and the power is incredible. I do have to back the wastegate back down though as all of the adjustments that I...

I did wonder if there's a hole in the intercooler, I've checked all the hoses and they're not split or soft. I've tried winding the boost up I'll give it another go.

Hi all. Just after some advice about my 200tdi. It seems to have dropped dramatically in performance since I fitted it in October. My boost gauge is reading 8 psi at maximum boost at the wastegate t piece. I know this is way too low, should I be suspecting a knackered turbo. It does seem...

Just changed the lift pump in my lunch hour, hopefully this fixes the air in the fuel system and makes her run a little sweeter.
