hi guys and gals recently fitted a new engine into my discovery 300tdi. whilst the engine was on the stand it had new: headgasket cylinder head lift pump cambelt (full kit) assorted gaskets heavy duty clutch and arm so engine fitted and fast forward 2 days to now, originally it...

it now runs right but takes a bootful of gas to get it to move im hazarding on a dead intercooler, figures really as it had a dark patch that looked like it had been letting boost gases escape. if i can get a cooler to try out the theory i may still make it. either way have a good weekend buddy

landy has engine but its not running right, im going to hazard at doubting im gonna be there this weekend DOH!

yesterday saw me fit new brakes to the wifes disco along with trying her new wheels and tires on, they rubbed like hell so the look out is on for a lift kit for her today we went to a local car/classic show down chasewater in cannock. I returned wanting a new car along with the will to live...

moved along swimmingly with my 300tdi engine rebuild. whilst putting the last bits together i discovered one of the injector ends was still lodged in the bore of my new fitted cylinder head, 3 hours of swearing and a broken slide hammer, the little piece of pain in the ass is still there. this...

nope i suppose there is that, but car has been sat for two week and it did this instantly today once battery was reconnected. i shall have a scour tommorow

you around toomrow eve good sir? pm incoming

as the title really. after getting stuck in deep water my rear fogs have decided they like being on, ive beaten the switch to within an inch of its life, the lights have just laughed at me and stayyed on, even when i turn the engine off and pull the key. anybody else had similar and able to...

also interested in wheels and tires. be possible to get a pic of the amount of tread left? failing that can i come view them as only in wolves myself obvioulsy depending where you are

nice horns haha I did some more on the submarine. to this 5 hours all in which i didnt think was to bad, never took a 300tdi out before but done a few 325i bmw's. also washed the raminder of the dessert out of my engine bay whilst i had access, anybody else on here have a problem when...

planning to be there but my landy currently has no engine.....

i bought one purely as my budget didnt stretch to a 300tdi defender :( i shall own one at some point just cannot justify the price currently.

been busy the last few days rebuilding a 300tdi lump well, freshening it up a bit should i say. today has been new headgasket, timing belt and tensioners aswell as fixing the engine stand and changing the front crank seal. tommorow will be new stat, w/pump, rear crank seal and the start of...

the donut is there to make the drive of a standard disco more 'pleasant'. is your land rover lifted from standard as this can cause the donut to be a weak link when thrashing down a lane etc. i got round it like many by fitting a 200tdi rear prop and changed the coupler on the diff to suit, bit...

Because its silt it washes away then your left floating :(

I should be at coney on the 28th of April engine being in and running. When you hit Mansfield read the signs and avoid the deeper water,

Removed interior after sinking at the dessert and hosed it out Also collected a newer engine after mine cracked itself

to be honest i agree bud. just had mine go but it was combustion chamber not water journals. to the op get a compression test done bud any garage should be able to do it and its piece of mind if it isnt the headgasket thats gone. as for turbo checking you could undo the inlet from airbox...

good to meet you jack. my drowned land rover attempt didnt falter the old beast, shame the heads gone and died. to those who havent been i had a good day, i really didnt expect much but its got some good trails etc. id advise taking note when it says deep water though.
