That's better news than I expected. Thanks for the advice. Anybody in the Yeovil area got a useable 200tdi engine for sale?

Aargh. Just checked and it's not great. Lots of mist coming out of filler cap. Not sure how long I can leave it before it becomes a problem. She's a good old girl but on the original engine which has just clocked up 190k miles. Time to look for a donor disco I think. Pardon the stupid questions...

The more i read the more I'm starting to get worried. Think my crankcase is getting pressurised because piston rings are knackered. I'm not blowing smoke yet bit the problem seems to be getting rapidly worse and I've noticed that she's burning oil at a much faster rate than before. I'd be very...

Ok, so I've spent the afternoon dismantling, checking, cleaning & reassembling breather pipes, complete intercooler setup & air box. I also checked the turbo shaft for play and was pleasantly surprised with what i've found. Suffice to say, no new turbo required. :) However, I found loads of...

Thanks jamesmartin. All noted. She's had a new lift pump, but that was about 6 months ago. Will check thoroughly at the weekend. I imagine the intercooler will need a good clean. Any tips for getting rid of 20 years of crud?

There is quite a lot of oil, enough to wet the chassis leg, which doesn't sit right with...

Hi all I have a 92 200tdi D90 which I think is in need of some attention in the turbo department. As this is my first technical post, please bear with me....:scratching_chin: I have noticed a significant drop in performance this week and the engine appears to be hunting at certain revs. Ive...

Thanks robint, hadn't realised the name might be a problem. Glad you picked up on it straight away though - should stick with me for a while I imagine! I will, as soon as I figure out how to work this phone, post my question in the correct area. I consider myself well and truly told! Thanks...

Hi everyone I've been a member here for a while but never introduced myself as I've always found the information I was looking for..... Until now that is. I have had a few landy's over the years and I currently have a 1984 straight diesel 90, which has definitely seen better days. I also have...
