White smoke is normally retarded timing or possible crankcase oil being burnt. If the crankcase level is OK, check the timing and the injector spray pattern.

The bendix is sticking. Pull the starter off. Lube up the bendix assembly. It will be fine after that.

You've never been anywhere cold then..... The stock Defender 200TDI glow plug timer system should plug right into the existing harness without and hassle or modifications.

You did mention that you needed to be going fast for it to work..... However, the speed of air inside the ram is is a function of the amount of air the engine is sucking, not the speed of the vehicle.

Safari snorkel intake rams have a water disengagement system to prevent rain from entering the intake.

Another point.... IMO, leave the seal out. It will then let axle oil to the splines and the bearings. It substantially reduces the chance of failure of both components. Just make sure the hub seal is in good shape.

How much too small? You say 2 mm? I'm sure that would be within tolerance of those things.

From the workshop manual.... http://www.landrover.ee/est/files/manuals/..._Supplement.pdf There should be some loss to the inlet manifold, but not much.

I would think you should be able to find a frost plug heater. Other options are lower radiator hose heaters or coolant cirulation heaters. Normally the coolant circulation heater would go in the cabin heater line. Last option is a glue on sump pad heater. What country are you in?? If North america, look at the Zerostart catalog, http://www.zerostart.com/pub_AppGuides.asp If Canada, I have a lower rad heater you can have for mail cost, though it is probably cheaper/easier to go to a store.

The amount of air drawn is higher in a TDI because it is running at higher boost. A TDI at 15 psi versus a TD at 6 psi draws (15 + 14.7) / (6 + 14.7) = 43% more air. Actually a little less due to losses into the cylinders, but that is the ballpark.

That is the underbody anti corrosion protection system. Factory fitted.

Most carburators have no means of shutting off fuel. Petrol engines shut down by turning off the ignition system. If it is running on, then the timing is probably out or the idle mixture is way off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

Close the intake vent and make sure it is adjusted properly.

From another post.... Ummm buddy..... Before you come and ask such a question perhaps you should explain what equipment you have on the axle......... You can't have a stock 10 spline diff with this setup............... :blink: There is NO way you should be running 37" tyres with Rover centers and shafts ever.....

It should be a 10 spline diff. They are pretty weak and the center pins breaking are quite common especially behind a 200TDI which has way too much grunt for a diff of that size.

Hmmmm, me thinks you had a bad ground or power connection. I would clean and lube the bendix to make sure it is OK and try it again. Make sure you a good ground from the battery to the starter.

They don't make that one anymore AFAIK. I wish they did as it is perfect for Canada. You need to get the 437-155 (120 mph) unit or if you want km/h there are 200 and 300 km/h versions.

Disconnect the feed into the fuel filter and turn it over. See if you get any fuel from the lift pump.

Fuel filter or lift pump would be my guess.

And then you rear drive flanges wear out from the excessive loading and you get to be stuck on the side of the trail.... I'm sure it is just a coincidence that the only person I know to have done the 2WD conversion is the only person I know to have had said failure. It was a barrel of fun.

Front propshafts are suppossed to be out of phase.

You seriously want to be 6" higher than stock on a 90?? Why? For 6" you will need to change EVERY suspension component and mounting location. Then it will be unstable as hell. You also better know a lot about suspension geometry.
