Hi Guys, I recently hydroliced my landy. Lucky it was only one cam shaft to replace plus all the hassle with the rest. My machine is nearly back to life but need to resolve the air intake issue that caused this in the first place. I still have the current air intake with snorkel attached but the two pieces of the canister dont fit well. Can I adapt say a TD5 air intake system or is their a quick fix so I dont have to spend another £1000 odd pounds. Any ideas or fixes very welcome and thanks for taking the time to read.

Wow, thank you very much Les. Seems alot of work but worth it. Ive spent loads on mine so far and must have replaced nearly everything on the damn thing

Hehe thank you les, had me even more worried

Is it quite easy to drop a 200 in then? Is there much to convert?

Well the engine was only on tick over when the water came in then it stalled. I did think it was wierd why they dont quite reach the bottom but do reach the top especially if a bend had occured. Silly question but it wldnt be because there is excess water now retained in the block due to flooding?

yes the two middles rise and fall at equal heights as do the outer pistons, the outers just dont fully complete the cycle as they travel down.

I havent tried that no. Once it had happened I removed the glow plugs to see if water wld drain out but alas it didnt. Stripped the head off and then was told to put it into 5th and push it forward and the engine would then turn over but two centre pistons go fully up and down but nearest and furthest go all the way up but not quite all the way down, if you know what I mean

Oh so no easy fix then? pistons do go up and down but not fully, like something has bent

Well all the top end seemed ok but was going to drain the sump and remove to see if I could see any damage without removing the block. You feel tho that this might be just a wasted exercise? Was hoping i might be able to change a bent conrod without taking it all apart but sounds like that wont be the case.

Hi guys, Just after a little advice plz. I recently drowned my 90, 2.5td 1987 and the engine managed to gain water in through the air filter. My engine stopped. Ive removed the cylinder head but the engine wont fully turnover whilst in 5th gear as reaches a certain point then locks. I think I may have bent a conrod? Can anyone advise how to proceed now to fix, plz. Disheartened of bracknell
