It never ends mate, I have had 200's 300's discos and defenders and I don't bother putting my tool box away any more lol. Got a good 300 now that's still had its moments :) is your boot floor and rear arches ok?

Was going to say I would give you a hand but that's a bit of a trek from Liverpool lol

No problem mate, took me ages to find on mine :)

Am sure you could make a 300 airbox fit with a bit of bracket making. Where about in the world are you?

Very true mate. Glad it's sorted anyway and it wasn't anything terminal :)

Plenty of info on here about playing with the turbo and fueling ect, my old 200 gave up just before 4k aswel.

Have you put a feed directly to the fan to test it?

Hello, I am after motorbike carbs off something like a 600cc 4 cylinder bike for a project of mine if anyone has any please. Ta very much :)

That welding is spot on, better than mine and I was a welder for years :)

No problem, let me know how you get on. I remember thinking "this feels expensive" lol Good luck

Mine was causing a vacuum and sucking oil back out the sump into the turbo hence the smoke ect, before hand they had almost nothing in. well worth a spin without the filter in, could end up being a nice easy fix hopefully :)

Disconnect the pipe that goes from the pump to the filter, take off the fuel cut off wire from the back of the pump, then turn the engine over and see how much diesel comes out.

Mine got to 2800-3000 rpm and felt like it was hitting a rev limiter and blowing smoke out the back like I have never seen, Where you intercooler pipes clean inside or did they have oil in? take the air filter out and take it around the block, thats how i found out mine was intake related.

Welcome to the forum vihippo :)

I had the exact same problem but mine was my air filter and you have changed yours so cant be that, I also had the pipe from my airbox collapsing under boost (2800-3000rpm ish)

Makro has KTC veg oil for £15.99 for 20L at the min if anyone is interested KTC Vegetable Oil Bottle In Box 20LTR

No probs, good look. I was amazed the difference it made. If the filters blocked it causes a vacuum and draws oil up from the sump.

Mine would rev to 3k then lose all power, turned out to be a bad air filter, take the filter out and give it a run. Worth a try and easy fix. Are the turbo hoses full of oil?

Ok mate, see you tomorrow

Haha ok mate, you getting there late morning
