Hi all just wanted to pick your brains, a while back my local lr garage turned up my diesel pump (200tdi) to make it go a bit faster , since then the rubber diesel pipes sprang leaks and had to be changed and on hard acceleration it has developed a tapping noise a bit like the noise you get when your exhaust developed a hole . I checked under the bonnet rhis weekend and noticed one leak off pipes were seeping diesel - so i changed them , it doesnt seem to be the head gasket as i can feel any leaks behind the bulkhead i was just wondering if that tappeting noise is to much diesel being pumped into the engine?cheers del

cheers , the oil has run quite low - going to change it a the weekend , the exhaust is a bit dicky i know the back box is corroded , just saw the grit in the oil on the dipstick and thought oh no .

hi all , just checked my oil on my defender 200tdi and noticed it was a bit grity , last time i drove it there was a chuffing noise on acceleration a bit like the sound you get from a blown exhaust dont know if anyone has any ideas

cheers!

hi, has anyone got the part numbers for thr rear and mid exhaust on a 1988 td 90, cheers del

thanks for all the replys, turned out to be a rubber washer from the air filter housing sucked into the turbo and stuck on the impeller!

came back today with avengence as you probably guess by my other posting , i think it must be the turbo , soon as we head off it whines like a police car in the distance until it becomes unbearable and there is lack of power / going to take it to a garage saturday to see what they say does anyone know if ita a expensive fix?

just looked around the air filter pipes and every thing seems in order , once the engine cools down the noise goes away- thats why i thought it had gone away yesterday. \\hen the engine is under load or hot its proper screaming like a major failiure in some component ?

Hi all after my posting yesterday ,took my 90 (200 tdi) out for a short journey , vertually straight away it started whinning on aceration and as we progessed it got louder as the engine warmed up with loss of power , I think it might be the turbo - not loosing any oil but the inside of the air pipe to the air filter did have a coating of oil. Are they repairable/ expensive any replys would be greatly appreciated,cheers del

thats what must have happened when i changed the air filter, the pipe was dislodged, and then came apart on the motorway ,the noise was so loud it sounded like something in the thengine had blown !

i suppose i didnt really loose power , just felt like if i revved the engine it was causing more noise and possibly more damage/ it was the pipe from the tubo to the air filter that had become detached, did notice it had a good coating of oil insde it

hi all serviced my retro fitted 200 tdi 90 on saturday , took it out for a drive today ,got on the motorway got up to 50 heard a noise similar to a belt snapping - terrible noise and loss of power . pulled over callled rac, waited thought i might have done some serious damage but turned out to be the air hose to the air filter had detached , once refiited seemed to cure it does that sound about right?

sweet, cheers western

cheers , its the top hose that goes into the oil filter housing , looked for one at sodbury today couldnt find one , dont suppose anyone has a part number or is it just a standard fit

hi all got a little puddle of oil on the top of my front axle , it seems to be comming from the union between a ridgid metal pipe from the top of the rad and a rubber pipe (200 tdi) is it any thing to worry about , its sort of doing battle with my power steering box leak !,cheers del
