hi chaps. iv been concidering fitting a bigger engine oil cooler to my 200Tdi.. been looking at some old series coolers but i would think that might cool it to much? as that size of them, if it even is possible to fit them to 200Tdi's? and does anyone know any poeple that sell eninge oil coolers for 200Tdi's? cheers sam

woops lol.. i just found out that the side that seals blown the wheel bearing just gone.. now im getting really p***d off.. i noticed ther pinion seal poped as well so as matey said the breather must be bunged up!! so its worth doing both side at the same time.. i tihnk i might do bith C.V at the same time.. as the left has gone for the second time. it gone again due the bloke i sent it put a second hand one it!!! anyway.. cheers sam

cheers chaps. need to get that sorted ASAP. yeah i will be changing the pads. been told i do not need to but i will anythink so i have peace of mind. so cleaning the breather as well as changing the seal then jobs a gooden? cheers sam

i had my wheels off yesterday and saw a the inside of my rear disk coverd in oil!! and the inside of the rim as well as the caliper.. i recon its the hub seal i just want to conferm it before i rip it apart.. theres a piccy so you can look.. there has been no change in brake fluid so that hub seal is the only thing i can think off!!# cheers sam

hi chaps.. on my defender i have a 6 bolt steering box.. there is nasty leak thats been getting worse over the past year. it pretty bad now and the screw is tightend up as far as it will go.. beings the seals are buggerd and its loosing preasure.. will it be worth stripping it shoving new seals in.. would that cure the problem do you think?. or would there be any exsessive wear in the components inside the box? cheers sam

hi chaps.. i think i remeber some one here that had a 3speed torqueflite auto in there defender.. or who ever has one in, would be great if you can tell me the pros and cons? cheers sam

hi all.. my brother has a f-reg 110 2.5TD.. the engine got re-built god knows when (5years ago i think) but the injector pump was abit ropey.. in the past year or so it has been of the road and used as water tank carrier for the cattle. only doing 10 miles a month maybe more. i noticed it was starting to splutter and it got worth allso white smoke started.. today went to go fire her up and nothing.. but if you keep the engine winding over for about 20-30 secs it might fire up.. run for about 5 seconds and stop.. im guess the injector pump has deicded its had enought.. but i allso noticed on the air box engine oil sitting on top? so i pulled the turbo hose and it looked like the turbo was baithed in oil.. and so there air come out.. so was that.. i know 2.5TD have some blow back but i would think this is not good? here are some piccys.. anyone have any ideas on the pump? or if the oil maybe anythink to do with it? cheers sam

hi chaps.. iv been doing abit of digging about on the tinternet about the ratios off the input gear, inermeadiat gear and center diff in a lt230 transfer box. at preasent i have a 1:222 tranny box on my defender and i have all 3 of the internals of a 1:410 box.. now if i was to change the 1:222 input gear and intermeadiat gear with the 1:410 input and intermeadiat gear.. would that box be back to 1:410 or is there more to that box then just that? will i have to change the center diff too? if you dont get my drift.. do i have to change all 3? or can i change just the input and intermeadiat? your help would be great!! cheers sam P.S haha who put "mind that tree!" under my picture.. good one... lol come on own up

hi chaps.. i got a good deal with NFU on my 90 and im 18. but we changed over to Towergate and got a better deal £1.000 fully comp but that is 1 years no claims and im getting on 19 at the end of aprill!!.. im not sure what incurnce group it is though.. but before i got my 90 a had a series 3 88" deisel.. as a new driver at 17 the incurnce cost was about the same as it is now maybe abit higher.. and that was with NFU. cheers sam

yeah i will tomorrow.. just been looking on their site.. its a dissision between auto or R380 short stick!!

right.. does anyone know if there is any differnce in the main shafts of a LT77 to the R380 and if it is prossible to put a LT77 main shaft in a R380 so you can mate it to a 200Tdi engine? or are you able to shove a LT77 bellhouseing on a R380 box.. but the main shaft will be long if im correct? cheers sam

iv seen that truck at horseheath point to point. in cambridge my brother was having a good oggle at it.. not a bad bit of kit.. not muc cuppa tea though lol

i have them on my defender... im over the moon with mine.. there good off road (for a all terrain) good on road, good in the snow and bugger all noise.. allso getting punchers takes some doing with them.. very good value for money.. cheers sam

chaps.. my hand brake at the moment has a the 300tdi discovery set up.. as i have discovery tranny box on.. i have a 300tdi handbrake unit. now the leaver end on the cable is differnt to 200tdi set up.. how do you fit the 300tdi one.. as you dont need the thingy to hold it on place.. do i just poke the rubber throught the hole but how is fixed down so its not flapping about like mine is now lol? cheers sam

its had all new pads and cylinders all round. i allso swaped the front drums to the back and vice verser in the hope that the front might be that little more worn and will cure it.. well it did for a short while and its started doing it again.. all that pads have that 45% angle on top and bottom.. i think its the pad at the back of the drum that is catching on the drum as the chap at the top said about the front and reverser thing.. i think his right that may be the problem.. so the top going from the pad thats facing towards the front of the truck.. theres a spring going from the pad to the mub that pulls the pad back.. a chap i spoke to did mention that if you pull that spring thats on the hub take it off there and clip it on the hole on the rear drum and that may cure the problem if not then where going to try a new set of pads differnt make this time... unless any of you guys have any ideas lol.. thanks for that chaps.. cheers sam
