if my battery was worn there is no way my TD would have started . had to turn it so long in the cold I'm surprised the starter switch didnt burn out - hence the whole street getting smoked up. It was also a tractor battery the size of the entire under seat area - i suspect the previous...

i changed my glowplugs and checked they were working. made no odds - i also changed the pump diaphram and check the bleed offs to make sure i wasnt getting bleed back. had to pre heat two or three times to stand any chance of it starting on a cold morning in winter. and even then it would crank...

the ceramic h4 connectors on the Boomslang are removable using a terminal removal tool (or a small flat head screw driver) the female spades come out of the h4 and it will then pass through headlight bowls no bother. I've run into this issue doing mine and a mates boomslangs. Worth while...

"My old TD fogs up the driveway first thing in the morning and my plugs are well overdue a change" Does it start like a lister single catching as well ? mines fogged up the street pre 200tdi conversion subsequent strip down revealed two cracked piston crowns.

my 200 will match that on a good day.

Everyone loves a photo right ?

so 3 years developing ..... ive finally done something about it. Been working abroad for the last 2 years and have not had time to sort it. Finally came to a head when an email got circulated at the office saying can the owner of the blue land rover in the front carpark please remove it as the...

depends what a 1500 quid tidy up entails. and wether you actually want a land rover or just think its a way to make money.

I got a really good one off of someone doing similar stuff to clive. I believe the guy i bought off opted not to do it anymore for similar reasons to clive - Cant remember the name of the company but i had to chase and chase because they dragged their heels struggling to get an order to make it...

If the brackets off the block. Phone locally see if any engineering companys see if anyone has a spark erosion set up. I had to get it done once when a jnr eng snapped an easi out in a blind hole in the african jungle. 50 dollar but saved hours of grief

Yeah I have that side though. Its on its own little mini loom. Te white slate is on the same 2 port plug as te green black- the white slate is a female . The green black is a male. Green blacks home was found in the 10port plug in the engine bay and the fuel gauge works but this leaves a female...

I have the wire engine side. I cant find where it plugs into the loom to go dash side.

Gonna have to pair back the loom then to find where it goes. Cant see it anywhere.

well the source of me not being able to short out the fuel gauge was a flat battery...would you believe. with the dash out there was no indicators that it was flat. wasnt till i went to start it to move it i found it was flat - id knocked the light switch on - with optima red top and led...

Long story short - sender stopped working , fuel tank leaked when full ,gauge stopped working etc etc new seal and retainer fitted - the retainer had failed letting the sender cock and jam. - at this point the fuel gauge worked through the whole range No low fuel light - now it is a 3 wire...

Flux are chunt but try leena at herritage . They have a decent 4x4 modified vehicle policy.

when ever i need to take mine off its a total chode - cant see it being much easier for a thief....

They are not the same. Back box runs transverse on 200tdi and longtitutanally on 19j But you can run the 19j if you wish, You dont need to change loom but i wanted a factory style install as per the land rover power upgrade for the 19js in the early 90s

Oh , i changed the loom and ignition switch , fittted the glow plug relay system just to make it "right" and to get rid of the glass fuses.

I did this last year. Has to be a high mount turbo. You still need to chop the chassis mounts at the radiator. You want to get the 200tdi air box , makes the rest of the plumbing much easier , the 19j one is next to useless. Engine mounts line up fine and the gearbox bell housing bolts up...
