    Taken from r/h side of vehicle

    Checked but cannot see any part numbers on the part in question

    And lets hope they are not trying to take the p*** out of me

    The bit above the blue hose...

    I.e. the bit that's attached to the blue hose???

    In which case, that's the blade for the EGR....

    Donnington 4x4 Show....

    in International Forum

    Posted

    This weekend I was mostly buying.....

    A very nice Disk Handbrake conversion from X-eng...

    Complete with forum discount ;)

    And a set of Jackable Sills from UK Land Rover.net which get very heavy, very quickly, when walking back to the Land Rover!!!

    First time I've been to Donnington and was quite impressed... not a show as such (which I know some people expected)... but numerous trade stands - thought it was quite good overall.

    Although £9.00 to get in seemed a bit steep.... and I was even more gutted when walking back from the Landy... some bloke leaving the show very kindly offered me his ticket... bugger.

    A-frame & Self Leveling Unit

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    Yep... you can fit a non-self leveling one...

    But you may find you need to change your rear springs to the HD version (as fitted to normal 'commercial' 110's i.e. non CSW)..

    CSW have softer rear springs for improved passenger comfort... but to make up for the lower spring rates, the self leveler is utilised.

    Hence, if you remove the self leveler, the rear suspension set-up will be very soft... esp. towing or with heavy loads.

    Exhausting Problem

    in International Forum

    Posted

    I thought the TD5 uses a larger diameter tube than 300Tdi.

    It does, 2.5" for a TD5, 2" for a 300Tdi

    In all honesty, you could probably run a Td5 rear silencer, with an adaptor to change from the 2" - the 2.5"...

    I could make you one of these complete with Td5 flange if you get stuck....

    Td5 box is stainless steel too... and they come up on Ebay quite cheap at times... or try some breakers, some Td5 stuff doesn't fetch that much money, due to lack of demand.

    Will have a look at the later ROW exhausts, anyone got a part number ?

    Had a look, but I need a chassis number from a RoW spec 90" as not quite sure which one it is.

    I think its WCG102890... but not sure.

    200-300tdi Airbox Sealing

    in Land Rover Technical Archive

    Posted

    I don't know how much they are.... but why not get the intake off a waterproofed wolf??? (not a standard Wolf)

    Different to to a standard 300 TDi.

    Part no is: PHB102510

    In all honesty they're probably vast amounts of money... but from what I remember are better sealed and don't have the little drain.

    Outlet pipe I also think is different, it comes out of the side, rather than the bottom.

    I've heard that water injection isn't that effective on a diesel.... and just don't get it wrong... clatter clatter bang!!!

    I'd be more inclinded to be playing with propane injection or LPG... or even Nitrous

    Though I admit these are a bit more expensive.

    You can get 200bhp from a 200Tdi without extra's like these... but it's not cheap!!!

    All of the above really. Tomorrow I'll try to get a constant speed, constant rack position situation on level ground, allow the EGT to stabilise and then hit the button, but today (on country backroads) there's certainly little difference under gentle driving.

    To be honest, I'd like to see if I can stop the intercooler heat-soaking because there are periods when I'm driving/have been driving hard when there's noticeably less power. Equally, if I try to maintain [illegal]mph constantly, the EGT climbs rapidly to 650°C and then less rapidly but inexorably clicks to higher and higher temps - I'm presuming this is from the intercooler becoming less efficient as it can't get the heat away quickly enough. Really, I need an air intake thermometer but haven't rigged one up yet. Would a second water temperature sender for my Racetech gauge work in air?

    What nozzle are you using... it really needs to be an (atomised) mist to be most effective?

    - for which you may need more than one pump.

    Water temp sensor??... would be better off putting a thermocouple in the inlet and outlet of the intercooler, so you could measure the temperature drop.

    Might also be worth ducting air into the intercooler, adding a basic ram effect... but I would also drill some holes in the fan cowel so that the passing air can escape - also add a divide between the radiator and the intercooler going all the way back to the fan cowel.

    JST,

    Can't you send Dan in his Disco 200Tdi powered 90???... Southam tyres isn't that far from Leamington Spa.

    (reading the post on fitting the 200Tdi)

    In fact, it's classed as Leamington Spa

    Southam Tyres

    Southam Drive

    Kineton Road Industrial Estate

    Leamington Spa

    Might be worth seeing if they'll do them a bit cheaper.

    I'm running 255/55R18 BFG AT's on my 90 - incredible tyres, even this big! :D

    They had to come across fom the US, but speaking nicely to my friendly local tyre supplier did the job :rolleyes:

    Heard good things about the Generals too though...

    McS

    Any pics???

    I may have dreamt this, but McS did you fit a supercharger to your Td5???

    JST sorry for hijacking the thread...

    They are a special fitment from Landrover - they're not rivnuts IIRC, but a captive alloy nut that is conical and breaks as its fitted.

    Cheers

    Pete

    But a Rivnut does the same job.... at least it does on my 110" (and my 90")

    Well I need to move the fuel filter to the drivers side on catflap so I don't have to chop fule lines about, so that's two! :o

    Les. :)

    Les,

    I've got one that does upto M10...

    If you were closer you could borrow it if needed (will speak to you later on MSN)

    Same as the one featured in this months LRO (I think) advertised at £90 ish, but I can them for less than that !!! (About £70 ish I think - need to check)
