There’s no where to charge them, nor will there be for the next 20 years!

I’ve had this issues for the last 4 years now. It’s nothing to do with the lock mechanism, although people tend to jump to this conclusion first. I suspect there are two things at play. Your strike plate has gently worn away and possibly dropped. Simply buy a new one with additional spacers...

Following a conversation with a neighbour this morning about the planned conversion of his old VW Bay Window camper to electric. I’ve been left stumped - Although I can appreciate his desire to ‘save the planet’ and wanting to preserve the longevity of his beloved van, I just don’t get. Firstly...

Maybe try posting in the wanted section too, hopefully someone will have what you’re looking for.

Bloody hell, is anything ever right with British Cars?! ‍♂️ The LR Workshop Vin Decoder also recognised it as being manufactured in 1995. I give up!

I’m assuming these figures will be different for the 3OOTDI? I’ll dig out my workshop manual tomorrow.

Even stranger, when deciphering the VIN myself, it would indicate a manufacturing year as 1995. Thats 3 different dates. All numbers match, just manufacturing dates differ between Onlin LR Vin Decorder, DVLA&Logbook and manually deciphering. Is anything d er straight forward with Land Rovers...

I’ve had my most recent Defender 90 300TDI (1994) almost 10 years. However, following a recent thread regarding Vin Decording I done a quick search. Everything appears spot on, the registration, engine type, everything except the year of Manufacture which states 1991. This is odd as the 2.5L...

Thanks Steve. I’d posted a link but seem to work. This was the link - I’ll try again below. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383361467262

As they’re mechanical injectors, I would expect this would be suitable for bench testing.

Thanks Chaps

I’m happy to have them tested..... I know for certain that they are leaking and need new copper washers. I would also very much suspect they’re worn out now as they have not been replaced since 1994. As per my thread, I’ve checked everything from HG, fuel pump, turbo, filter and all is well...

I’m so very tempted to try this. The reduction in power on hills in my 300TDI is ridiculous. I’ve worked my way around most other things except advancing the timing which I plan to do after lockdown. That said, I’m sure I have an issue with my injectors as well as them leaking. Would be...

Exactly right, you would just be purchasing someone else’s problem. You definitely get 10 out of 10 for effort, you’re storming through this

Possibly, though I would be tempted to grind it down and weld a new sleeve on to guarantee a tight snug fit.

That’s a very good point.

And even thing you would struggle. However the prices of 200 and particularly 300TDi are most definitely on the up.

Is the pin not made of brass?

Haha....I was going to say, if he had sold it for £24k, then I would suggest people sell off their bitcoins and invest in defenders instead :D
