Hi all, I have brought in an old thread with some new problems, hopefully someone out there may know how to put our fuel issues to rest (quotes from previous responses are below). Well this fuel issue has been a nagging problem for quite a while, and it would seem that finally the problem...

The VDO gauge is an electrical gauge, it requires a pressure sensor installed where the Oil Pressure Switch is located. The feed to the gauge is then an electrical one. It seemed to work fine all trip, however as Mystery mentioned earlier in the thread I will have to check the readings...

Yeah well going by the figures I had it all seemed within limits and I was happy at first, but the figures didn't show or indicate that the pressure would normally drop to around 1 Bar (14.5 psi) after the car had been running for a while, warming the oil? So that just raised a slight concern as...

Thanks for the reply. I will have to wait until we return home and purchase some test equipment for the job. What sort of test gauge would you suggest? Do you know where I could obtain the correct and more detailed readings I should be getting? Thanks again for your help. Cheers, Dan

Hi all, We have a 300Tdi Defender CSW and have recently installed a VDO oil pressure gauge (0-5 bars) to keep tabs on whats happening in the engine. The car is currently on a test run up in the Highlands of Scotland after a lot of work to give it a bit of a shake down and we have noticed...

Thanks for all your info, looks like we are going to have to work out what type of driving we will be undertaking the most and position it accordingly. Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks again.

Thanks jamescronin for your ideas, It would seem that the additional/secondary vent option may be our only option. When the filler cap is opened there is no whoosh of pressure, and the filler neck/housing doesn't seem to be bent in anyway. Any ideas on how to approach a secondary vent...

Hi, My wife and I are currently setting up our Defender 110 CSW 300TDi (1995) for two trips, one to South Africa and the second to Australia. Would anyone happen to know if there is any used equipment available and/or where to look? Cheers, Dan

Thanks Wozy and Hext for your replies. Up until now we have been running the car at half to two-thirds to conserve fuel as you suggested, however, we are now prepping our car for overland trips to South Africa and Australia so we will need to fill our tank to cover the mileage between stops...

Just to say hi as I have just joined the forum. My wife and I are currently prepping our Defender 110 for overland trips to Africa and Australia. Any pointers or information will be a great help. Look forward to chatting to you all. Cheers, Dan :)
