what happens when you rev?

when you turn it over is it white smoke constantly or is there a break in between the smoke?

or.. injector timing / head gasket

injectors, fuel pump, **** fuel..

Heads up on the flywheel pin, make sure you use one that screws in and has a spring, they DO fall out and not lock into place as a warning.

Also just to add I would get yourself a set of aviation spanners for majority of the nuts underneath - they'll give you the leverage you need for nuts like calliper bolts

Found it.. previous owner cut it right now!, repaired and also needed a new alternator my britpart one failed after 4 months!

Weld a nut onto it, then you can use that nut to release it :)

Yeah I need a picture of where the loom should come out, I have the round connector plugs so need someone with a picture hopefully so i can work out where it is

Yeah just I don't have any wires coming from the diode in the bulkhead going to the alternator for D+, is D+ required to energise the alternator on a 300tdi?

tldr i've no brown/yellow wire, i'll have to go hunting for that one.. i've got the diagrams and it goes to a diode.. but does anyone have a rough location of where i would find it / connectors on 300tdi defender loom

does anyone know if D+ has to be connected to output 12v+ on B+?

nah no bulb wired up to my cluster lol

yeah this is something i'm going to check tonight, but no idea about my loom type, i have a 200tdi loom on a 300tdi i think

Hey, Does anyone have a image of their alternator and the cables? Tldr i can't find any voltage back to my battery to charge it, should there be 2 main positive cables going there? Currently I just have one that goes across the engine and behind the dash. Thanks in advance

resin them back on :)

Fitted yesterday did 100 miles, no leaks

Well we'll find out today/tomorrow when i fit it and fill it up with fluid

I've spoken to them, they expressed their apologies and this was a quality control issue - it's now been resolved. The offered me two options - they'll send out a new box ready for Tuesday or they'll refund me £50 if i can file the threads myself, and tbh i just spent an hour sorting the...

Yeah will let you know by saturday after i pipe it all up.. but i did experience this..
