Absolutely loving this thread. Lots of inspired ideas on here and lots of inspiration for me with my next project. Keep it coming, can't wait to see what you do to the 130! :D:tea:

My Td5 did this on a holiday to France, and 50 miles from Calais the gearbox gave up. Layshaft bearings had failed and I lost all drive except 4th (direct drive) with which I managed to limp it home to Dover.

The rod length shouldn't be an issue, you don't need to touch the clutch slave when you fit a 200. It could have become dislodged or misaligned during the fitting of the engine though. It may be a case of taking the engine back out and checking the clutch is all set up properly.

Sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging properly. Did you fit a new clutch kit when you put the 200 in? Does the clutch pedal still feel like it did with the 19j?

Yup, when I first rode in it, the power and noise was so immense that I went partially blind. Although that might have had something to do with the injectors leaking diesel straight onto the exhaust manifold :rolleyes: And RE: Cummins one-oh-ones, I'm not sure yet whether to build ultimate...

They wouldn't have to be very far apart, in theory you could make the prop just long enough for the boxes to clear eachother properly. But yes I take your point... would be interesting to take some measurements and see what you'd end up with.

I'm looking at a 101 6BT conversion... do you think looking at a remotely mounted LT230 would be worthwhile? It gets around a lot of the machining work. The only issue would be rear prop length. How much rear prop do you have with the LT230 bolted to the ZF?

Unfortunately Nick's 6BT conversion has blown up its gearbox so it hasn't been on the road in quite a while. He's also the cause of making me want a Cummins Landy though :p

Jacked the front up? You mean removed the front prop?

Truely epic conversion. I'm going to be picking up a 101 within the next few weeks, and this has got my appetite for big diesel power whetted again! You should do a video of it running/driving for all to admire :p

Bump - please any Td5 knowledgables out there? :p

Hello people Having a bit of a problem with my 2004 Td5 110. During a recent gearbox change, I made a very common mistake and damaged the wiring connected to the crankshaft position sensor on the bellhousing. The wiring snapped off leaving not much to work with, but I managed to fit a...

That's about the going rate for a full kit - they are still quite sought after by all sorts... popular with tree surgeons I'm told! :)

You guys were correct - I had the plate oriented the wrong way. Seems the holes are positioned in such a way that it will only bolt on ONE way! ... Does make you wonder what the engineers at Leyland were thinking when they decided that would be a good idea :rolleyes:

Stainless steel bolts aren't as strong as 8.8 grade bolts, and 8.8 grade bolts aren't as strong as carrots. I'd just put in some good quality 8.8 zinc plated ones.

Ok cheers guys - I've got another tube of sealant and will give it another go next week :D

Pretty sure I tried it in every different orientation, it seems the hole centers are at a slightly different position than what is required.

Hello chaps - bit of an unusual one! I need a cover plate for the back of the LT230R in my Td5 110. I've taken off the PTO unit that was fitted for my winch (for sale here) So I need the PTO cover for the back of it. I have got hold of one of these; Cover - Genuine Land Rover at...

Just been out to it to check a couple of things, and realised that I can no longer hear to fuel pump coming in when I turn the ignition on! This could definitely be the cause of my problems if it is kaput! :mad: Grrr.......
