The rims I want to use are the Deep Dish XS Style http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/anr3631mnh-alloy-wheel-deep-dish-xs-style-7x16.html The XS might not have come as a defender rim but there are many, many defenders using them and I have never heard of any breaking. The XS looks...

The alloys I am looking at are not Freestyle rims...the pic below is the Freestyle type. .

Hi Mates, I have black steel modulars on my landy now with mud tires, not the 10" ones, I think mine are more like 6.5" wide...bought the landy with these. I am not gonna take the landy off road...yea i know many would be rolling eyes lol. I bought this landy because I like them, its strong...

And yes 200tdi and 300tdi are easy to work on, parts cheaper than that of the TD5.

Dont know of any difference between the two...if identical models and years, weight will be the same. As for cruising speed..70mph is not cruising mate lol With a 300tdi in great condition 70mph should be ok for continuous run but remember its a 20 year old landy, I wont push it at 70mph full...

Did you get a standard clutch kit or HD too? Do you get your parts locally?

Since the 200tdi has so much radiator to crank clearance, I would drop by a shop equipped with an pneumatic impact gun, ask them to back it off, re-tighten with anti seize compound so it can be undone when you get home. I have a Snap On 900 lbs reverse torque and it backed out my crank bolts on...

I know that Alisport and Allards 300tdi upgraded turbo kits are both using VNT.. just thought it be good to look up some vids on VNT powered 300tdi's. I found this dude pushing his VNT (from 2.5 audi) charged Auto 300tdi.... to 135 Km/h with 336,755 KM on the odo, thats crazy. .

It will be worth my time and money...after all turbocharging was my business (mostly BMWs) for a long time until 3 years ago when I moved to Barbados. :) And BTW, I forgot to tell you, your master tech BMW friend should have known that the same GT2056V came in diesel powered BMWs. I will let...

This guy did a good vid explaining the inherent characteristics of a VNT/VGT. . and a great animation of how the vanes work to provide instant and continous boost accross the entire RMP band. .

This is exactly what a VNT was designed to improve, boost across the RMP range...he had to be doing something wrong. If you look up what the meaning and operation of a VNT/VGT works, you will quickly learn that what the BMW tech is claiming is the opposite of the characteristics of the VNT he...

Cant understand why a VNT would not perform great on the landy, especially when the HS 2.7 came with them. You have to tune the pump to suit and swap out the vacuum or actuator to a pressure activated one. It will take time to get it right but it will out perform the stock GT250-04 You cant do...

Honestly, making manifolds for the 200 or 300tdi is so easy for an intermediate welder. You can get the 4 head to manifold flanges water jet cut or CNC milled, turbo manifold flange T2/T3 purchased, Schedule 30 90deg elbows X 2, 2 Tees and 1 ft of pipe and it can be made relatively easy using a...

You could get them in different sizes..this one reams from 5-18 mm dia.

If they were ring terminals, maybe you could have reamed them to fit.

Even at idle that seems low.

Could be worn starter brushes too.

HS 2.7 manifold from South america.

Vacuum.

I will check to see if I can get a grade 8.8 replacement from the fastener company.
