  1. I ran my 200tdi on OAT for quite a few years, but wasn't all that convinced with it, especially after doing the head gasket a few times in relative succession I was gobsmacked to see how the blank water holes had corroded, so I swapped back to Glycol although I've not had the head off to see if its any better, I feel I've had super rock solid coolant temps even when I seriously maxed out when towing some heavy stuff up some big hills. 200tdi would have been spec'd with Glycol from the begging, and td5's would have been OAT - I'd say stick to the closest you can for what the engine was initially designed for.
  2. Why make new when you can save a heap of cash just copying what someone had done already.
  3. Lovely bit of work, the gate will look amazing.👍
  4. I had it in my head that there was a difference between the swivel ball from raliko to roller bearing type... it could be totally dreamed up mind, I dont have a later one to hand to compare.
  5. So I've puzzled over this myself a few times, from factory "generally" 10 spline = Raliko bush type... and 24 spline = roller bearing type, except late RRC's 😝 I have a suspicion that you will be able to fit 10 spline half shaft, CV, Stub axle and Hub to a later roller bearing type assembly, but I've not tried it.
  6. This is what Land Rover recommend (for the rear)
  7. Well as I agree with the above, I have just snapped a half shaft... when I did the first re-build on my 90 in 2009 the half shafts are the only thing I didn't change in the transmission, I know for a fact they where abused before I had the truck, but they looked good so I re-used. 15+ years isn't too bad, I did install my ATB just over a year ago in the front and I did wonder if this accelerated the issue, but I'll never know. Something I have invested in recently is a Dye penetration crack testing kit, I tested the other front shaft that didnt break, which looked worn but not twisted and it didnt show any cracks, but I changed it out anyways. I've now got 10 spline Britpart shaft and CV's in the front axle now and to be fair they looked not to rough. I've got Ashcroft HD shafts in the back with the ATB so not too worried about those.
  8. @Paul C I'd be interested to get some feedback on your driving experience of the 1.3 once you're up and running.
  9. Yeah but the results are really cool....
  10. Page 20 of my build thread https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/49267-diamond-in-the-rough/#comments
  11. Anything but standard 200tdi mounts... 300tdi seem to be a good compromise between size over hardness, I converted the standard 200tdi gearbox mounts to the later square type and even that made a hell of a difference. I'd defo consider td5 first.
  12. You've also got the option of 1.3... ashcroft do the this as a gearing option, I had half intended to do it on my manual 200tdi, as I think it would compliment it more than a 1.4 for all around "use". But Auto's are a little different but worth considering.
  13. I guess this is what happens when you use off the shelf products/assemblies rather than building everything "in house".
