Any idea what length they should/could be?

Hi all need some help!! Just fitting a new r380 stumpy gearbox which replaced my lt77. Gearbox is in but having trouble with the slave cylinder. It won't fit!! It won't seat properly it sticks out about 2cm. What slave cylinder should I be using? Engine is a 300tdi out of a discovery and the...

Checked clutch fluid level today as there was none in there! Faulty clutch slave cylinder me thinks!

Just after some help!!! I've have a 1987 Landrover 110 and ive just done a 300 tdi conversion I've kept the lt77 gearbox and changed the clutch and release bearing at the same time. My problem is the bite on the clutch is very low still changes gear ok. I've changed the slave cylnder but sill...

It turned out to be a air leak in the fuel pipe going to the tank! All sorted now!

Thought it was about time I posted what the problem was so here goes!! The noise was due to the fact that the cambelt idler puller was hanging off! The cambelt jumped few teeth and engine was knocking its tits off!! The cambelt had worn half way through also. I was seriously lucky she didn't go...

Just a quick up date It's not just when it's under load but it's more pronounced under load! Booked in in with local diesel specialist to check turbo boost etc.

Morning all just after a little help with my 95 300tdi. It's started to miss fire at 3000 rpm when under load. It starts spluttering like it's running out of fuel then a puff of blue smoke out the back ( think it even make a cracking sound) Intercooler pipes recently replaced, new lift pump...

Update! Set timing back to standard with 10mm pin. Tweaked pump by turning starwheel in by 1 turn. 1 full turn in on the smoke screw. Now it's pretty good! Minimal smoke also!

I've tried advancing and retarding timing to see if there's a difference and seems to make no difference just engine noise. Think I might check the hoses to see if there is any leaks. Will sort this if it kills me!

Yep there on the right way!

Removed cambelt and adjusted pump pulley a couple of cogs. Got the adjustment I wanted but still down on power. Engine just gets louder using 8mm timing pin and really growls with 6mm! Do you you think the pump needs a little tweak as there is no smoke at all even when hammering it? Cheers

Thought it would only go on one way!
