To be honest Ross motivation has been none existent of late , and I really need to get back on it , then I brought the m57 for the 110 and I already have someone who wants the 200tdi so I need to get my mojo back so plan is from this weekend I’ll be cracking on with both .

That's surprised me Nick I was expecting it to work the other way , fitted in the sides and pushing them out . Sounds very simple to make .

Have you got a pic or of it monkie ? As I'm planning on fitting an ATB to my salisbury , or anyone else thats made there own .

Just to add some pics to this , this is the Range Rover L322 TD6 BMW engine that I'm fitting in my 110 , the EGR hadn't been removed but the build up was there . That's off the intake manifold , and I've seen photos of ones worse than this .

Presses against here it’s beneath the check strap .

eBay place from Derby does them .

Nice one @steve200TDi 2 screw drivers between the ally housing and the cv and 30 seconds later out it popped , all the threads I found where going on about the Land Rover recall on the diff . So back over too the 110 thread now . cheers Ian

Good find Steve , I think I did try that but with not enough force will try again tomorrow and post up how I get on .

Cheers Steve , build thread is Ian's 110 refresh been running a while only just started on this bit . Here's a couple of pics ,not brill ones and no drive shafts still in , I've removed the bolts from both sides diff moves freely in a circular motion , I was expecting to just be able to pry them apart when the bolts were removed, unless I'm not giving it enough umph . I'd already found the manual but couldn't find any reference to the BMW td6 engine only the tdv6 and the v8 .

HI all , I've brought a td6 l322 engine for a defender conversion and I'm trying to get the front diff out of the sump does anyone know how it comes apart ? I have searched but no joy , I've undone the bolts either side but can't part it any help would be great as next plan is a 9'' grinder . cheers Ian

Cheers Liam . Yes I’ve had to scroll through the listings looking for the code and I’ve emailed quite a few , some didn’t even know about the code . Thanks for the heads up on the breakers I’ll keep them in mind , but I’m starting to think that fitting a 4HP24 would be easier and probably a nicer drive . I’ve actually got a 300tdi cross member in the workshop sitting about , so might be an option .

That’s interesting Toby never heard of anything like that before.

I couldn’t tell you , but with modern anti freeze/ coolants and the addictives inthem you would think that this sort of thing wouldn’t happen . I might go back to waterless coolant.

Yes I presume so , it’s off my project that I had off the stepson . I brought it then stripped it so I never had need to service it and I think that’s what he used .

Thought I’d put these few pics up for people to see as I’ve not seen any before but there may well be , anyway this is the heater matrix off my project 300tdi it wasn’t damaged until I took the hammer to it and I could have reused it but if you’re wondering why you’re heater isn’t as good as it used to be then this might be the cause . hell of a lot of gunk on there and it didn’t look that old either. cheers Ian

Hi Liam , great thread just getting the bits together to do this conversion myself only I’ve gone for a L322 3.0d engine . Did you use the original 200tdi type gearbox mounts or convert to the later crossmember style mount ? And I’ve been looking for a BMW manual box GS6-53DZ HGA but no luck yet , apart from eBay is there any other places you contacted when you searched for your gearbox? cheers Ian

So basically if you've got a allisport one fitted like me and Maverik , which uses just a baffle , being as it dosen't shut off like the original one could that be causing more oil than normal to be pulled through into the air intake system ?

This is mine from my rebuild

I've got an Allisport catch tank like you , I've not looked but can you buy pressure release valves like used on air lines then fit it to the tank so if it does build up then it will vent automatically as a safe guard , no nothing about them but how does a turbo dump valve work and could that be adapted ? Just a quick look on fleabay found this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adjustable-Universal-25mm-Recirculating-Bov-Dump-Blow-Off-Diverter-Valve/263332927694?hash=item3d4fdd98ce:g:hJQAAOSwHUhaEX1m haven't looked into it much as I'm still trying to make up my mind whether to rework the 200tdi fit a vnt turbo and do other bits or fit a bmw m57 3.0d engine , as I'm not getting any younger and this will have to last till I'm too old to drive it as this will be the last mod with a new chassis I do to the 110 .

I've had this problem on mine after fitting the uprated chra and upping the boost kept checking the turbo but no sign of oil round that , then thought I was going mad , then realised it must be coming up the breather . Did think if a washer type of thing but thicker pushed into the breather pipe the catch tank end to reduce the air flow and give the oil chance to hit the sides and run back to the tank .

Yep bloody auto correct, Glue is correct should have been Tek screw .

Bit of gate/fab porn for everyone 40x40 should be fine as long as you use 2.5 or 3 mm wall tube and he wouldn’t bother with a diagonal brace but he’d put a middle horizontal rail in rather than the vertical one , and you could tell-screw the wood straight to the frame.

I’ll have a word with the drawing bloke Sam at work tomorrow for you Dave see what he suggests if you like ? You might get away with 40x40 box , how are you planning on fixing the wood on Nuts and bolts , screws ? Also how are you locking it ?

I actually make gates for a living first time a question has come up about my job 😀 , with a gate that size we would diagonal brace it from top hinged side to bottom lock side and use 20mm hinges and a100x100 post . What type of wood are you using to cover it and do you want the wood to fit internally or fit to the outside of the frame .

There’s a chap on eBay sells the felt guides seals and all for the door link below , https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233307717366 cheers Ian
