I have a old mk1 renault master pickup and it just has a massive drop plate to bring the ball back down for low trailers. Trying to imagine the scenario when a 10 hole drop plate isn't going to be enough to get the towbar at the right height and cant come up with one...

Thats a good way to get gassed or in a 2cv's case, a way to fill the cab with a hot oily smell :) VW aircooled bus/beetle has heat exchanges on the exhaust because it has no coolant to run a heater matrix from that connect to floor ducts that meander their way up to the front of the cab, but...

Also worth verifying the spill rail banjo bolts on the injectors have normal sized holes in them and are all the same. In the bad engine, the owner had put the special bleed banjo in a diesel injector by mistake, and it caused bad problems for that 1 cylinder... I cant remember if landrover...

I think you need STC3597, which is a banjo bolt with a very small hole in it. I don't know the size/pitch, but its a special bolt because the pinhole diameter is important. The pinhole is only there to allow tiny bubbles of air to leave the injection pump back to the tank so it self bleeds...

I've done this quite often but I always use a inline filter in the feed from the temporary tank just in case because your bypassing the filter mechanisms and disturbing stuff & any ingress of dirt into the injection pump can be really bad. Because the situation seems to pop up often when I'm...

Thanks, I went through that thread, insurance companies are ****** and good to see you didn't let them weasel out and crush your car... I used to work in a shop that did insurance work 25 years ago, and my opinion of them hasn't got any better with time. This 110 was devoid of...

Watching this with interest, because the "kit form 110" I recently picked up is a 7 seater station wagon with a sailsbury rear axle and the load leveller for the rear A arm. And it was in a million pieces so I have it all to do, and to make it worse, no fasteners or anything marked up and I've...

That bit works in that the 19J CAV pump has the same mounting flange so it can bolt on to a disco timing case (I actually did this last night trying to figure stuff out), so the bosch pump should mount on the 19J timing case the same. The bit that throws a spanner in the works is the depth of...

ok 0 replies, I'm guessing that its not a known swap. I did some cursory looking and the 19j timing case is shallower than a 200tdi one, and the injection pump is carried lower down, so it would need replacement diesel injector lines too, so could it be that its not really feasible to do?

A search doesnt throw any threads up unless my search-fu is broke. Sorry in advance if that's the case. I am in course of replacing a extremely tired 19J with a good 12L 200tdi out of a Discovery1 & I read that you can use a 19J timing case to give a defender 200tdi like appearance to a...

I'd also suggest its a good idea to borrow a car trailer and see how the motorhome handles that in the real world. I have a square hitch reciever on a ducato coachbuilt motorhome and it has a custom reinforced hitch frame at the rear and auxillary airbags done by the previous owner so it could...

Also of note from that page, if you get out and about as its a motorhome: The views expressed above are only applicable for the UK. We understand that these view are not shared in other European countries and we would not recommend use of an A-frame outside the UK without some investigation of...

Caratow flat towing A frames for motorhomes use a alko style brake mechanism, that is the coupling hitch slides in a receiver on the frame and pushes a big lever. On my normal car trailer this lever pulls some rod brakes on the axles, but on car-a-tow it pulls a big link cable that lives on the...

Secured bargain replacement 12L 200tdi for my engineless 110 project that I bought a transmission for last week. In the boot of a Clio 4, in my defence it was 240kms away and my mrs wanted to go to Ikea which was near to it so during a "quick detour to pick something up" into the hatchback it...

The seller left a bunch of stuff on the engine that's useful, starter motor, alty, engine mounts etc but it really was minging with that special baked on combo of decades old mud and grease. Thank $deity for steam cleaners... While I was stripping the useful stuff off the motor, I stripped the...

Hmmm, they took nearly two months to ship a chassis that was supposed to be in stock when I paid for it in full with a bank transfer, the galv looked like it was applied with a yard brush, and they sent the wrong one (300tdi mounts for a 200tdi/19J 90) and I was so nervous at that point that...

You will probably find other jobs to do when its that far down, I couldn't fit just a chassis so have ended up putting new bushings throughout, new hardware for all the suspension components, new front damper towers, new coils, dampers etc. I would also add that I'd personally give shielder...

Thanks for the reply, it was the right price but entailed a 400km round trip but my trusty pickup is parked up with it in the bed home safe now 10 hrs later. I'll get it off in the am and steam clean it because its nasty even by landrover standards, then start on swapping the lt230's. The...

Because it seems you can never have enough half done projects or alternatively because I don't have a brain in my head, a 110 in severe kit form has followed me home on my car trailer. Well the chassis and axles were on the trailer, the rest was in the pickup bed its that disassembled. I think...

Update, the replacement engine mounts + 200 tdi crossmember finally turned up this week. Its all marked up and I'm doing a dry build to verify everything and I've sawn up the oversized pallet into two because it was in the way, so no going back now. I looked at my notes and its been 5 and a...
