When you say the pipes are different, do you mean the routeing, sizes, positions or materials? What I'm asking really is whether they are interchangeable, or if I have to try and find decent 200 components?

Hi, got a problem with the power steering, it's gone all notchy since tightening the belts a wee bit as they were slipping. Can anyone tell me the differences between a 200 or 300 TDI with regards to the steering components, particularly the steering box and pump? Thanks.

It does look like its L322 then doesn't it. Only thing that is missing is the stabilising lower bars. Thanks for all your help guys.

Definitely not either bumper Western, bracketry is all wrong, those are for a D2.

Correct me if I'm wrong, is this not the same one? http://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/part_page.php?partID=6805

It is similar for sure, but is the plate orientation not different on the RR one? EDIT: Hmm, maybe not...anybody here speak the language (Dutch?) and able to give me a manufacturer or any other pertinent information?

Try again for pics! It now seems likely it's a hidden OEM bumper for a Disco 3 but confirmation would be appreciated.

Or possibly even 'Which Land/Range Rover'! I bought a winch bumper, blind, as you do! On the strength that it was advertised as a Discovery winch bumper and it may fit mine. It doesn't, so I need to identify it properly and then either move it on or, modify it to suit my needs! It appears that it may well be a OEM 'hidden bumper' for a Disco 3, but maybe 4. So, can anyone confirm it for me?

I've been using my tatty but deeply loved 200 tdi for off roading and am now beginning to look at doing punch hunts and maybe a winch challenge or two...onceI get the winch bolted on! So then...are the 24 spline shafts and diffs really appreciably stronger? If so, how much hassle is involved in swapping my 200 Tdi Disco items out for 24 spline? I am toying with the idea of diff lockers, but some makes aren't available for 10 spline, or are £100 more for the same thing! I then get into the thoughts of whether it's worth buying an Ashcroft built/recon'd diff with locker fitted as part of the build up. Thoughts please. At the moment I'm only playing, it is rapidly getting more expensive/serious/ absorbing! The other option is to use somebody like Ashcroft for a tailored set up...but that looks REALLY expensive. Still undecided on air lockers or Detroit too so opinions on that won't be unappreciated either.

I'd go with a small head gasket leak if it's losing water that fast and you can't see any water leakage. Combine it with the rising level and it makes it even more likely. Sorry.

Good thinking, cheers Jeff.

It wasn't massively deep, certainly no more than 6" up the door. It was more a matter of how long we sat there with it seeping in, still no more than a couple of inch over the carpet when she came out though. I am suspecting an iffy earth re the console, not so sure on the starter.

Hi guys, Had the 200 out at the weekend when I got stuck in the middle of a fairly deep, muddy, wet hole. Net result, a carpet full of mud the consistency of oil! Something didn't like its soaking. Basically it initially manifested itself as a 'sticking' starter solenoid, a few key turns and she'd suddenly fire in to life. Today, she won't start, similar sort of symptoms but she started easily enough off a bump. However, now I've lost the electric windows, radio, interior light and clock. Exterior lights, wipers and indicators/horn etc still work. Fuses all appear ok........suggestions?

Possibly run a continuity check across the bulb and holder, but, if the bulb's good, the earth's good and you apply power to the other wire then it has to light.....in theory.

After quite a bit of reading and research about the problems that the TD5 seems to suffer from, mainly involving the engine and air suspension... ...as well as the advantages of the TD5, better ride and build quality allegedly, as well as being more refined. I am wondering if there is any mileage in finding a decent D2 with a blown engine, and dropping a 300 tdi into it? Pluses/minuses, pitfalls etc, all comments appreciated!
