thanks for the reply's . little to late , went to the machine shop early this morning , they skimmed the head (made no comments on regrinding the valveseats) and it's back on .....
i now have to wait for the mailman to deliver the remaining parts (i do change the idler en tensioner)
the fuelpump pulley was not exactly lined up with the cambelt pulley , so i loossend the rear bracket and had to put some tension on it to get it in line , when tightening the bracket back up.
so i hope this will cure the belt issue .
(i have a spare head (bought for the Eurover project) , so i can get that propperly looked at , so i can use it the next time ..)

thanks western , the top link is for a defender engine (seems to have some differences) and the LRcat page seems to mix 200 and 300tdi on the discovery 1 page ....
-
tensioner seems to be the wrong one , so ordered ERR2530 , and have the head checked first thing tommorow (since it's my daily drive i need it working as soon as possible)

hello all ,
my daily driver (1987 110) is fitted with a discovery 200TDI , the local MOT man noticed a engine leak and decided to let the car fail inspection. the leak was supposed to be "a leaking injector" , after some investigation it turned out to be a blown headgasket (very good fault finding of the brave man).
so it's head of .... not to bad a job (i luckily can have a dry workshop space at a friend (the weather at the moment is really bad with rain...).
the head is of at the moment , and i cleaned it and sanded the head , there are some minor scratches around the cilinder (not so much it wil get your nail caught) .
now i have to decide to get the head skimmed , or just clean it using a straight block and some sandpaper , the picture is when i just took it off , the leak is at the back off number 4 cylinder , the scratches can be seen at the edge where the cilinder is.
i also decided to see the state of the cambelt (i have not done a cambelt since owning this one , so it's about time) , that was just in time , the cambelt is worn on the front side of the timingcover (i tought that was only happening on 300tdi's ....)
so i will see if the fuelpump has some tension on its rear mounting, and have a look if i can find something wrong with the pulleys.
i now need some parts to fix it , but LRcat seem to mix up partnumbers between 200 and 300tdi ...so i hope someone can help me get the right parts .
it's a Discovery 200tdi , and i have no idea how old the engine is (does the engine number be of any help for this ?)
so i need :
cranckshaft seal ETC5065
key cranckshaft ERR3987
tensioner timing belt ERR1972
idler pulley ETC8560
timingbelt ETC8550
valvestem cap (i will take that of a old engine, replacements seem to be carp)
pushrod 546799
valvecover ERR2409
rubber half moon seals ERR765
seakl rocker cover ERR663
gasket thermostat housing ETC8007
waterpump RTC6395
waterpump gasket ERR388
are these correct for my engine ?
-
it works beter if you post some more info , did you bought a "short block" engine , or a complete one , did the injectors and fuelpump been checked before fitting etc ... is the timing set correctly ...
what gearbox, tyres, diffs etc ...

If you treat the galv properly, and don't let it near salt......
no need to , a friend of mine own's a 88 serie's 3 , swapped the chassis a good 20 years ago for a galvanised one , didn't do anything to it , and it is always stored outside ..... so far no rust anywhere ..
(we live very close to the Nordsea , and in the netherlands they use a lot of road salt in winter time)
-
the "eurover" project was in a similar state , it has been most of it's life in Scotland .....
don't weld , just replace with a galvanised one , and your set for another 30 years ....

That’s interesting- I was looking at the hard shell ones, are the larger ones all the soft ones ?
no : https://www.jamesbaroud.com/en/products/hard-shell-tents/evasion/ (just a quick search )

I’ve been thinking of a RTT recently - but they seem too narrow for us. We take our little one and sleep three in a row - our matts add up to about 154cm and the tents all seem narrower than that.
there are tent's around that are 160 and even 180 cm wide.

at least 1 side still for sale:

same numbers according to the parts manual .

it might be usefull to explane what front springs you have at the moment , the original front springs have a different length for driver/passenger side . so may be part of your problem .

i replaced the broken koni's on my 110 (shaft broke on one) with Terafirma Commercial Heavy duty one's. the rod's are almost twice as thick as the koni's they replaced (20mm for the terrafirma) .
they work ok and don't need a morgage to fit . (https://terrafirma4x4.com/commercial-hd-rear-standard-travel-shock-def-d1-rrc.html)

if it was my job , next step would be to remove the striker and the rubber adjusters from the bonnet , so the front is clear of any obstackles . now gently close the bonnent and see if it sits at the right height . if not , try to look under the bonnet on top of the engine if something is stopping the bonnet from dropping low enough.
-
my gues would be that it touches the X-tech mounting plate's , and therefore the bonnet will not get down at the front ...
i would remove the whole system , then get the bonnet to close as it should be , then try to refit the X-tech (or just dump it and use a proper designed one 🙂 )
-
i wouldn't stack helicoil's , it is very difficult to get the threads at the exact location (the bottom coil of the top helicoil needs to be at the precies right place in relation to the top coil of the bottom one ....)
i would look for a longer insert .
-
to quick with my vote "others" , didn't see the 255 in the list (were's my glasses...)
-
you could try gripping the bolt with a pair off vise-grips (after tightening the bolt a bit) , and wiggle the shaft while at the same time turning the shaft and the hub around . it is probbebly catching at the end of the brass ring inside the hub.

looks like a decent bush fix , avoid full lock and drive carefully .

Actually, I wonder if aircraft mechanics have these problems ? 😲
yes they have , they even have a saying "it doesn't have to go up the road ..."

heard a lot of complaints in the netherlands about HVO (it's called "bleu diesel" , it increased fuel consumption by 10% and more expensive as normal diesel
-
indeed as above , and most car's with rear bench seats have these missing 😂

Alas - closer inspection and it’s too big for the space I have 63cm is too long for me. Shame - its a great price and brand.
make more space 😁 (just leave the spare tire at home)

i use a Engel MR040 , not overly expensive , more plastic as there very expensive steel brothers , but a very good unit , it can freeze to -18 .... runs on 12 volt and 220 volt as wel , so we use it as a 2nd fridge in the house .
