Gotta have hand throttle for the pto winch:banana:

Water pump runs off different belt so most likely not changed.

Diesels totally different, especially 200tdi, real bugger wen it is cold, and you are going to get the cold harder than most of us.

No sorry no idea, but like most things there will be a work around. USB boroscope might be worth a play?

Series stat top onto tdi stat housing.

Throttle, defender cable cut down and home made bracket, been on there for the best part of 15 years now.

Trust me it wears thin after a while.

No it was a manual plier type thing, tried it once and once realised how crap it was have never used it since.

I got most of my info from Glen Anderson who had posted on terri ann land rover page, which is a goldmine of info. Here is link to Glens conversion, Iirc his is a 109 which is why he used the defender manifolds. http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/200tdiconversion.htm

Have you drilled the flywheel housing for the bottom 2 or 4 bolts? Exhaust I made my own, but think Steve parker used to do a kit. Rad I used the original s2 one, mine is the early narrow type and keeps it cool just fine. I did fit the intercooler as using the narrow rad means it was pretty...

You could put a tap in one of the coolant lines, most are 15mm id, which is what most UK houses run for hot and cold water circuits, so shoudl be a cheap/easy job. But I would check the cooling diagram schematics first in case the heater circuit also performs some other function.

Most people with the GAP tool will be vin locked to their vehicle, you can add extra vins for 60 odd quid each.

I would do what is easiest/quickest, less cut out the better for the car. How are you joggling the steel sheet? I ask as I bought a joggler (cheap one) and it is bloody rubbish.

Still sounds to me like you are low on gas, enough to make it work but not enough to be good, are they accounting for the extra gas for the rear a/c when they gas it up? Could be the expansion valve if that is its proper name? I had a d2 with f+r a/c, it was okay but not brilliant, my current...

Quite a few cross over size wise, not perfect but good enough to get you out of a pickle.

Is the a/c compressor running? not the belt spinning but the centre of the a/c pulley spinning. Most a/c is pretty simple, pressure switch sees pressure and allows the relay to send power to the a/c compressor, so a quick test would be to see if the a/c comp is seeing any voltage, low or no...

Gonna be cold all the time. They all have the turning circle of a super tanker.

Well you are in for a treat!

The carparthian is a very expensive defender edition, so I would say they are for the newer shape defender, hence why nobody on this poverty struck forum knows what they are!

KISS keep it simple stupid, basically no need to complicate things if what you have already works.
