what you want is a K&N sticker!! gives an extra 50bhp! :D

retro fitted the engine a year ago and it was fine. the engine then sat around for a few months while i rebuilt it and eva since then t hasnt run right, so the last months or so.

Hi, been having a few problems with my defender. It has a 200tdi disco engine in it. It has been really underpowered which is especially noticeable when pulling away as the engine really struggles. When starting it cold it takes a while to fire. It cranks over a few times, fires but doesnt...

a mate of mine managed to fully imobalise his 110 td5 the other day. ended up having to get a code off landrover.

wen i say clean i carfully wiped the ends of them.

yer i did do them but was in bit of a rush so might be slightly out. could be the leak off thats screwing it up then. is it ok to run it unblocked with just a hole there?

it does only have about a foot of exhaust on atm as havnt connected the rest of it up. will this make a difference? oh and thers no fuel return off the injector closest the bulkhead as the banjo bolt snapped so the hole is currently blocked atm with a small bolt. or after a bit of reading could...

Hi, just replaced the head gasket in the disco 200tdi engine in my def. Put it all back together today, started her up and its kicking out loads of white/grey acrid smoke! was making my eyes water!! smells of fuel and has make the entire garage and me stink of exhaust after only running inside...

just called the engineering company i sent it to and the head doesnt need skimming. Any idea as to failure? could it be it was torqued down incorrectly before? ino that at sum point the head has been off as 4 new valves have been fitted. it appread the pistons had hit them. previous timing belt...

Hi, ive got a 200tdi disco engine im my def. just wondering if landrover ever fitted the 3 hole head gaskets as standard?? ino that usually they are 2 hole. Mine has recently gone and so am in the process of repairing it. sent head away to get it checked to see if it has warped, though have just...

hmmm no oil leak suggests no oil in the engine!!!:D:D:D

all the push rods look straight. thers sum considerable damage to a couple of the piston faces. nothing to worry about i dont think but a couple are pretty scored so whateva they hit is definatly not gonna be ina good way!! pushrods are all straight. so guessin its all been replaced.

yer, think whats happened is that the timing belt has broken at sum point and the pistons have then hit the valves, as the ones that are opposite the marks on the pistons appear newer and undamaged. very little sign of leak on the gasket though a large stain on the head between the 2 cylinders...

pulled it all apart. Head gasket leaking between cylinder 2&3. also pistons are hitting a couple of the valves. Could this be a warped head?

you guys rekon its timing even tho smoke clears and runs fine wen its warm?? id love to think it was that! doesnt smoke when driving or anything. im just concerned that the white smoke is distincly like water vapour as the smell clears. its quite hard to explain its reving issue when cold. will...

Has it just suddenly done it or has the vehicle been sat around for a few months? also age would help.

the diesel smell on start up last a second or 2 but the smoke contines for 30-60secs

yup. its bin fine for a year. Thers no smoke and it runs smoothly when warm. just underpowerd.

nope. and it doesnt rev for way after the smell of diesel has gone. its exactly like if u splash a bit of water into the air intake if u go thru a ford or sumthin to fast. just loads of white smoke and wont rev.

kicks out white smoke until its warmed up a bit. initially it smells of diesel but only right at the start, which i guess is just a bit of unburnt fuel as its not warm enuff for 100% combustion. worth taking head off to have a look?
