    Thanks tulipandthistle, I'm gonna try again tomorrow night. I just couldn't seem to get in a position where I could get my hand anywhere near it tonight. Thanks for the advice.

    Td5 Crank Sensor Location/Replacement.

    Well, I found it. But, do you think I can reach it!!! :mad: How the hell are you supposed to get to it, especially when working off the ground. Only way I was able to find it was from above. Thing is, from above, there's not enough room to get your hand in there and I'm having the same problem...

    Td5 Crank Sensor Location/Replacement.

    Hi Discool, Thanks for the reply. I have found and seen some images like the one you posted. The problem is none of them seem to show it's position in relation to other parts or they're an image, rather than an actual picture. Will

    Td5 Crank Sensor Location/Replacement.

    Hi folks, I've had some issues with my Td5 (2001) and a mate plugged in his Nanocom. He's told me Air flow meter is u/s and the crank sensor is giving a double reading so may be too close. Question is, other than on the bellhousing at around 1 oclock position, where the hell is it? I've had a...

    110 HCPU to Van/County Body Conversion - How Hard?

    Vilguy/Lightning, I understand what you are both saying. The reason I ask is that Hi cap pick ups seem to be available a little cheaper than station wagons and hard tops. Whatever version I buy, the body will be removed at some point to check, clean, repair if req'd and protect the...

    110 HCPU to Van/County Body Conversion - How Hard?

    Thanks for the offer Adrian82. The only problem is that I haven't got a defender yet and was just enquiring how much of a job the above body swap would be. Sorry. Will

    110 HCPU to Van/County Body Conversion - How Hard?

    Thank you for the advice Rick, much appreciated. I did hope that being a big Tonka toy, that would be the case, but wanted to check before I made any expensive decisions. Will

    110 HCPU to Van/County Body Conversion - How Hard?

    Hi folks, I'm searching for a 110 at the moment and was wondering, how much of a job is it, to convert from a High Capacity Pick up to either a van or station wagon back end? Are the chassis the same underneath and just the different bodies mounted on, or are mountings in different places...

    Please help ! 300tdi clutch slipping

    Well, I had a chance to look under the bonnet today, but before I did, had to drive round to the garage. When I put my foot on the clutch for the 1st time, the pedal went down a few inches and stopped. I took my foot off again and tried again. This time it went down as would be expected and...

    Please help ! 300tdi clutch slipping

    I've got the same problem on my 96 300tdi disco. New complete clutch kit fitted today, on the way home and after about 8-10 miles, clutch started to slip on full throttle around 2200 rpm(peak torque at a guess). I had exactly the same symptoms with the old clutch, which when removed was found to...

    P38/Omega/BMW 2.5-3.0tds into a Defender

    He's just got it into his head that he wants a more torquey engine coz he's planning on doing the Poland trip (Dresden to Breslau) next year. Devon 4x4 boys entered and from what I've heard they killed their engine after pushing hard through sand. What my mate's after is a 6 cyl lump that due to...

    Hi Folks, A mate of mine wants to know how easy/possible it is to install a 2.5 or 3.0 tds BMW engine aka P38(2.5) into his Defender. Before anyone asks why etc. The TDi he's got in there is fine low milage etc, but he's got this idea of putting the 6 cylinder tds engine in instead. He'd like to...
