  1. Hi there Western, what manual have you got these scans/drawing from? and where can i get this manual?! Many Thanks!
  2. ok injectors r a relatively unknown area to me, i just have them reconned/tested/cleaneed/etc by a professional... im a studying engineer n a competant spannerer so im no newbie lol Can i change my nozzles in a good home workshop or is there more to it? cheers
  3. New nozzles? please can you elaborate on this?? Same nozzle just new or a different part! Im likely to call this thread quits n open a new thread about turbos soon. Thanks to everyone for their input so far!
  4. Hi guys. I have a 200tdi genuine defender engine fitted in my 90 and want more powerrrrrr, as everyone does! I read somewhere at some point that fitting 300tdi injectors to a 200tdi engine would increase performance. I cant find where i read this for the life of me so figured i'd ask on here. Is this true? Before anyone says it, its running higher boost and tweeked fueling. Full size front mount intercooler, straight thru mid section exhaust, k&n filter. So please dont suggest that for more power. Just want to know if its even possible to swap the 300tdi injectors to a 200tdi head and if it would give any performace gains? ie cleaner/more efficient combustion giving greater power??? better fuel economy maybe?? ANY advice is greatly appreciated and i thank you all for your replies in advance. Cheers, Bear.
  5. ok well the disco 200tdi doesnt have any horizontal bolts, no doubt, but not sure about defender 200tdi though. havent looked yet. As for the oil problem, took the rocker off, ran it and it was spraying oil like a fountain from around the two push rods for cylinder number 4? what does this mean. Took the head off and cant really see any head gasket damage. Maybe a split in the head? But what would cause this spitting fountain of oil from around the rear 2 push rods?? Having the head pressure tested tomoz, if its ok skimmed, valves ground, decarboned, valve stems done etc. got quoted £100 for that lot. Seem ok? basically reconning the head... but only if the head itself is ok. Just please can anyone suggest why this fountain of oil??? N where its coming from???? Cheers.
  6. ah ****, dont wanna take the engine out gonna take the sump off and see if mine has this Coz the disco 200 is the same block and ladder a doesnt have them... :( thanks anyways.
  7. Oh so is this different from a disco 200tdi which doesnt have horizontal bolts??
  8. Well the head is coming off this weekend. Ive found a company in telford that will pressure test, skim and do the valves for 50 quid. Having sump n ladder frame off too to get at the con rods and doing piston rings and big end shells at the same. So its getting rebuilt at a mates house near uni before diving home for the summer Parts are costing me £75 including all the disturbed gaskets and seals from John Richards Land Rover Surplus just down the road from harper and thats for allmakes and genuine parts NOT britpart!! Will post up some pics so u can see what damage there is when i strip n rebuild. Bear.
  9. Ok, with this problem only just showing itself is it likely that the head will need skimming? cheers.
  10. Thanks, the cyclonic breather hasnt been cleaned but if theres that much pressure thats trying to get out the crankcase there must be a deeper problem than just a blocked up tube or cyclonic jobbie?? Besides it was fast onset and the cyclonic breather wont block up quick. Thanks, will listen for this chuffing noise tomorrow.I agree with whipping the head off first to look for failures before dropping the bottom end. i also think the 200+ miles will be done with the AA I know u cant do the crank shells with the engine in but i thought you could get the ladder frame off with the engine still in to do the con rod shells. Thanks all.
  11. URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE. GOTTA DRIVE 200+ MILES HOME AT THE WEEKEND AND NOT SURE WHETHER TO DRIVE IT OR GO ON AN AA TRUCK? HELP PLEASE
  12. Maybe check the bulbs in the instrument pannel itself? Set your multimeter to ohms and but across the bulb terminals. the reading should go from 1.00 to 0.00. If theres 12v on the wire then theres no prob with the wiring that side. Once touched to ground the light on the dash should come on. The side of the engine block will be a good ground if the ground cable from battery to gearbox is connected and has clean connections. There should be a thick trap that runs from battery negative to a bolt on the transfer box or gearbox. If the is no strap like this then make one. Other than that check the fuses. The correct fuse will be labelled by the diagram on the inside of the fuse box cover. These are all the ideas i have for you. Cheers, Bear.
  13. From personal experience you will not fit a physically bigger intercooler than the one in the eBay link. Mines the same and only just fitted to a defender and i had to remove the primary and secondary bonnet catches and use bonnet pins mounted off the top plate of the rad to fasten. Bear.
  14. Hi there guys, need some help My 200tdi Genuine Defender engine has now started to blow oil back past the oil filler cap. Its also running hot. Pulls like a train still though. Put my hand over the hole and it feels more like its sucking than blowing? Although it covers my hand in wet black oil. Any ideas as to the cause? Ive been told its likely the piston rings are shot? Valves and seats have also been suggested although i think their break-down of seal would be less sudden and more gradual than this? This leak of oil has come on rather suddenly. Im thinking of removing the sump, the webbing, oil pump, undo con rod ends, remove head, remove pistons, replace piston rings, replace con rod shells and refit. Also skim head(maybe) grind valves, new stem seals, new headgasket and rebuild.... Any advice/opinions are welcome. Many thanks, Bear.
