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!

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate you guys giving me somethings to check into before i spend on injectors. Anyone got a link to a thread about checking/adjusting the valves i am getting error messages.

Thanks for giving me some things to check before dishing for injectors. Those things are pretty pricey compared to any diesel engine i have had before. I need to do some research on how to check/adjust valve clearances. The rest should just be tightening. Little curious about the turbo...

My truck smokes. . a lot. Clouds of gray/white smoke at all times. Less at speed but still noticeable and very bad at idle. I thought advancing the timing a little might clear things up but after removing the cover plate and three tensioner bolts the 22mm adjustment nut is already as far...

just got it back today, haven't had much chance to look into it but vac pump and lines are my first guess. will know more tomorrow.

got My 109 back today after having the stearing box, transmission and transfer case replaced. ( the steering box was just bad, the tranmission and transfer case came with water in them. . . it wasn't pretty.) Steering is still a little dodgey but way better than it was. Probably need to look...

Wit hte 200tdi i run a heavily filtered mix of waste vegetable and motor oils with regular diesel to cut it. seems to work pretty well and keeps costs down.

I have my '78 109 wherei want in mechanically 200tdi to lt77 to lt230. No i want to get the interior set up. Boost and oil pressure guages, xtreme liner the interrior and seal and pad the whole thing. . . lots of detail work to make it more comfortable but still rugged.

multi-meter. The number of times a $10 multi-meter has save me time and money diagnosing an issue. I <3 my multi-meter.
