Not a defender but just renewed my S3 for £107 today with performance direct , cheaper than last year

That’s really clever well done 😃

In case of trouble see page 62 onwards of the series 2 instruction manual here http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/

Apologies was thinking you wanted the outer sleeving so I think you’re right it should pull out , I would be tempted to turn on wipers a few secs while pulling It looks like the square end fits to motor so if it was pulled out from motor might be able to unscrew it by hand as the spiral but like...

Not done mine before but looks like the cable stays where it is after you remove nut numbered 5 If you want drive cable out you need up to do the following actions

too late now but fixing the oil pressure light should have been at top of list 😨. Should be able to check main and con rod bearings with sump off on a still day See manual and parts book here http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/ Is it a 3 or 5 mb engine Was there much oil in when you drained...

There’s some additional parts too here http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/

good one, dont forget to clear the axle breathers which can force oil past seals if they pressurise

When you fitted the seal was it set proud of diff casing or inside it, I’ve not been further than replacing seals and flanges on mine

That’s a downer, did you look at the cam lobes and followers for flat spots when it was stripped that could be quite noisy , has it got some side covers you can remove to look at some of the lobes,

2. Means metric thread

It might have the old pig tail series wired glow plugs or a later upgrade of parrallel plugs The early ones if one faulty none will work as it breaks the circuit they also need earthing from plug 1 at front of engine to earth. There is voltage drop from back to front on these whereas the Later...

A whack round the chassis with a 1/2lb ball pin hammer is a god test , same age as me! And looks in better Nick

https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/ricks-200tdi-tuning-guide.254178/ Probably need to check the engine condition first, how many mile has it done , test engine compression, Quick win is set the valve gaps how does 0-60 compare with spec, what’s it Iike pulling up a hill Are you handy with a...

Well done , getting there, Not got the turbo on mine but this might give you a few pointers, don’t think black smoke on heavy acceleration a major issue

If they are similar to 200tdi , quite easy to take apart and clean , I bought a cheap ultrasonic cleaner did the business nicely

Depends which additional bits you have that are connected to it, just the shuttle valve on mine I think

Looks like they tap into end of seat runners , don’t know size.

Good to see you back on this and hopefully not far away now Easy mistake that anyone could make, I use converters online and this one looks well comprehensive https://www.norbar.com/Support/Calculators/Torque-Unit-Converter
