    See you got it sorted Ralph but just in case others read with the same prob ......... I also had this problem after a new clutch went in (replaced every thing uprated fork, metal bearing, slave cylinder, master etc etc) wasn't slipping bad but noticed it when put your foot down......No idea what it was but after a week or so it sorted its self out and been fine ever since (that was 2 - 3 year ago)......and I had to fit the new one due to a melted thrust bearing (I went LUK clutch)

    Oh all ways had the Defender 200tdi engine in her Ralph (since I had it )  I mean changing the exhaust system  from the TD to the 200tdi one as its bigger bore and the correct one for the engine,,,, she was a real mess all sprayed with engine oil etc took me days with wire wool and petrol to get it all off and raw knuckles and wow found perfect galvanised wing tops under it all I re piped it all, convoluted pipe etc etc re sprayed all brackets etc .......thought it would take a few days took 2 week lol

    Exhaust change TD-200TDI

    Hi guys yes still alive but the dam thing been ok for ages and only did 500 mile in her last year OK QUESTION
     
    Ok it was a 110 TD 1990
     
    It was re built on to a Richards Galvanized 110 chassis which is the same chassis weather a TD or 200 tdi.....It now has a Defender 200tdi engine as well
     
    My current exhaust I believe it is  part TD and part normally aspirated (the back tail section certainly is NA after checking the code from buying it last time)
     
    Ok I wish to change to the 200 tdi exhaust
     
    Ok I need a new one any way so taking that in to account (tail and mid section)  .......but the three  200tdi hangers galvanized ones are £48 for the 3 and the exhaust system whole thing £104 (could be plus VAT) plus two Polly bush hangers £7 (have one all ready) so about close to £150
     
    Will I notice any difference   ...is it worth changing  to the bigger bore 200tdi one ????
     
    Thanks guys
     
    Oh what about the 200tdi system with mid box removed and a straight through pipe ?????

    OK guys it continues (200tdi 1990 converted from a TD)

    I turn the ignition key and most of the time she will start on the odd occasion I will turn it and get full electrics BUT not even a click there is just nothing in the way of starting ........Rapid turn the key on and off some times it can be 3 turns another time 50-60 turn but eventually she kicks in and starts ......I can turn it off and it will instantly start again.

    OK so far on the try to fix it list

    A new battery

    Tried two new brand new starters no difference in fact one kept spinning and wouldn't disengage (so put the old one back on)

    Extra new earth strap

    New Starter relay

    New ignition switch

    Check and cleaned all my terminals

     

    Has any one ANY ideas at all ????????????????       I'm now drawn towards the cobra imbobalizer and alarm (But It still does it even if the alarm hasn't been touched/used like when filling up at a petrol station get back in and nothing)

     

    LOVE THE SITE NEW FRONT/LAY OUT looks well modern up to date

    That dam Towing restriction again this sound right ?

    Ok folks

    Narrow track Sankey manual says kerb weight of 357 kilo (Narrow track) Its called a 3/4 ton sankey is that old ton or metric ton ok lets educated guess at metric......Does the 750kilo include the weight of the trailer with the load ? or weight it can carry on top of the trailers own weight ?

    OK from my other posting My 1990 110 County TD has a kerb weight of 1906 Kilo ( I will weigh bridge it tho) and can carry 1144 kilo

    Meaning a combined unloaded weight of 2263 Kilo

    OK the law says

    "If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997 and have an ordinary category B (car) license, you can drive either:

    a vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes or 3,500 kilograms (kg) Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM (with a combined weight of up to 4,250kg in total)
    a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as it is no more than the unladen or ‘kerb’ weight of the towing vehicle (with a combined weight of up to 3,500kg in total)"

    Ok 3500 K - 2263 K = ....1237 Kilo

    so presuming the Sankey can carry 750 Kilo on top of its weight making 1107 Kilo meaning 130 kilo in the landy (people rubbish etc)

    Or if the sankey loaded up weight is a max 750 Kilo (2656 kilo with loaded trailer empty landy) then the Landy can carry on top 844 Killo .....

    Going by the SECOND 3500 Kilo combined weight and for trailers over 750 Kilo and even more going by the first combined weight of 4250 kilo if the sankey loaded up weight is 750kilo max with trailer weight as it says trailers UP TO 750 kilo then the landy would be able to carry 1594 Kilo making the total loaded weight 4250 kilo

    Of course the kerb weight is plus people, roof rack and all the other things we bolt on so trailer and landy would need a weigh bridge to see the real weight as thus what can be carried in both

    DOES THIS SOUND RIGHT or is my maths way off ??????
