Fine then, be that way! :mad: :D

That's pretty darn similar. In the U.S. there is no chance of gettign a Sankey at a good price, but the M101a3 should do her up just fine.

I am looking at get a surpluss military trailer like this one: Mdl M101A3 3/4 Ton 2 wheel Cargo Trailer ID# 586627, Mfr unknown, with tow bar, Mfd unknown, slight surface rust, with t - Government Liquidation I can get these for 400-500USD all day long. Anyone else use a small trailer like...

Add a satin clear coat then. I dunno I think bare aluminum might be best left for the Delorean.

In regard to the thread title apparently not my 109. It kinda delays the rain, but i still get wet. My wife just had me watch this film as she is a HUGE Creedance Clearwater Revival fan (which is odd for a 27 year old) but to my delight through the movie Nick Nolte drives '58 (i think) Landy...

I am not sure if i really hate or really like the bare aluminum look lol

This is the route i went. It is a little pricey but my heater core was shot and the motor slow and weak. So since it replaces the whole jimmyjam it's not too pricey. With this additional plenum it attaches right to the tube for the drivers side windshield defroster. Pretty slick and so far into...

If it is a lot of smoke you can look to the injectors. When diesel injectors get old they leak and drip fuel constantly into the cyls and that can cause a lot of smoke. They may need replacing. I would try some cable lube before repalcing the speedo cable.

Well i was able to find a 10 spline Range Rover classic complete front diff for $150 about £95. Seem pretty fair. Just waiting on news for the pinion and carrier for the Salisbury rear.

I flipped out a little when i read that since my EGT guage stays at 800 at highway speeds, and this is with no injection pump adjustment!! Then i remembered I am a dumb American and my guage is in F not C. 720C is 1328F. so yeah. Got some room to play. Thanks for the reference material.

Those of you using an EGT gauge. What temperatures do you typically see. I have my probe plumbed just after the turbo. What is considered the maximum temperature for the 200tdi?

Looks like i have a line on the Salisbury 3.54 rear parts i need. So now i need the front Rover 3.54 parts. I do appreciate all the help i am getting here. I know only the things i have owned before. My father was blind so not much of a mechanic. I mean, based on this idea, i went and looked...

Wouldn't i also need an adapter for the LT77 for the speedo?

pm'ed you Jai, Thanks!

I will try the "buy a 3.54 salisbury diff on it's own from someone over here and match it up with an early disco/range rover diff for the front axle" option. Seems like the simplest and cheapest even if i may have a longish hunt for the parts. I just don't really know the language when it comes...

Well that seems easy enough. I assume since that was the strock config for the Defender that it works well enough? I wish the Defender had been sold in the U.S. as it is is am sure i will have to find diffs in the U.K. and have them shipped over if i make this switch. I admit to knowing very...

With my 200tdi '78 109 up and running well i am looking for a bit easier time at highway speeds so i wanted to know if there are gear ratio options/ research say the Salisbury rear is 4.7:1 which feels pretty ahort for the 200tdi. I know i would have to switch the front as well to keep 4x4...

Well i finally got around to replacing the injectors and thankfully (after spending all that money) they were the problem. Only a little start up smoke now, no running smoke and a fair bit more power. Also lowered operating tempratures a fair bit, so it is clear the injectors were just dumping...

so that didn't work. in fact it made things worse. I going to go back into it tomorrow and try and adjust the rockers again. I tried for a "sticky fit" but maybe i was a hair too loose. Is there a way to check to valve seals short of removing the spring?

that couldn't have been more helpful, thank you!
