Lack of power then surges, 300tdi
Stellaghost replied to pgrbff's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
This sounds similar to what I've just had with my 200tdi in my lightweight and that was perished hoses I would check full length of fuel lines to make sure there has been no past additions that could be past there sell by date also the water traps on the fuel lines quite often get removed due to corrosion and replaced with fuel hose to join them up check this area as well regards Stephen Forget the water traps had disco 1 in my head -
Agree with Bowie especially if its a Disco, floors are very prone to rot regards Stephen

Making my own main loom/harness
Stellaghost replied to monkie's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Absolutely,other wise the figures would be frightening regards Stephen -
Costs nothing to look, make sure it's not leaking oil out of seals and ask for a test bend to ensure its not leaking under pressure, have a quick check of formers and pins if there is any nicks or deformities these will transfer to your work piece, obviously you can clean them up but it's a bargaining point for a price reduction good luck regards Stephen
-
That's about the top and the bottom of it bonny lad regards Stephen
-
It will do the job, however you may need to spread the centre point of the bend as the pins either side of the former have a tendency to leave a depression in the pipe due to their small diameter and therefore poor load spreading capacity regards Stephen
