I’ve got a matching numbers 110 CSW 200tdi sat in the garage where it’s been for 4 years. I’m wrestling with shifting it even though I love it and would love to put it back on the road. Been in my possession for 10 years. Then I have Brian’s...

Just ordered a noo tool. De Walt cordless angle grinder. Already got the batteries and charger, same as me cordless drill. Had to pay for it though, I said my name was Kev but they didn't believe me :confused:

@Hicap phill That’s it in and working 😁😁

Could you have a faulty earth then? As on the bench both cables would be directly on the starter.

Is that the living room or kitchen? :p. J

The point being the engine inherited with the sad old 109 was leaking oil out of every orifice, in fact the engine bay looked like the drilling floor on an oil rig. No wonder there isn’t any sign of rust. Compounded by the fan blowing liquid oil...

Just a thought .. AC isn't efficient in a car unless the window are kept closed, so are you going to benefit from it in a rag-top LR ?

I had a tin of yellow left from painting a tractor PTO bar. So mine is yellow.

Not sure Thomas and Sons are still there

Horse brass!

Progress so far... Air box etc out of the way. Upper intake manifold off. Lower intake manifold, coil packs, fan, belts, pulleys, coolant hoses and rocker covers etc. Heads off. The problem cylinder, all liners look and feel ok for...

I’m taking a 300tdi out of mine in a week or so if you want it otherwise it will collect water outside 😂 doing a m57 swap

Did the hare get propper phooked?

Mind you they don’t really need to match - it’s better camouflage

Most folk are 85 round here, but I get your point.

NATO no2 satin green aka Clansman green. Get a tester, paint the bumper and see how it looks. Remember you have 7 years of fade to contend with.

Looks like satin Nato green

Jeez it’s wham today.

Came across this discussion when I was in a state of desperation myself after 3 clutch masters and 3 slave cylinders. Also replaced most of the linkage too. Read here somewhere that 2a return springs at the slave can be a problem. I ran out and...

It’s usually a bad earth. Chuffed you sorted it. Simple mechanics, usually something simple.

Alternatively iirc, it’s a bugger to nip up the collar on the trans. Make sure the threads are clean and it is done up all the way. Remove the trans speedo drive to ensure it’s blue as other colours are different gearing. Then you can inspect...

Potentially the plastic insert in the trans is worn or similar in the back of speedo. As pointed out driving with cluster out will rule out the former.
