Thanks to the both of you! Mick.

Does anyone know what thread the 200tdi temp sender is please? The search function seems to bring 8 pages up for everything I search for lately. Cheers Mick.

Matt, RCV @ Doncaster, part of Land Rover Parts Shop. I bought a kit for the 200tdi i put in my 90 for around £35. Don't skimp on it. You might be lucky and get away with it. But I'm just rebuilding a Citroen Dispatch that had a belt fitted 2K ago. Only the belt was replaced but since then the idler has failed. It snapped the cam in 4 places and cracked the cam cover. Its coming close in on £500 ish. If it goes on the 200tdi you may well only be looking at £100 but its at least £60 more than the piece of mind that its right in the first place and the down time of doing it again. Just imagine the red face you'll have if your revving the nuts off it to get out a bomb hole and ot throws the belt off. Mick.

Any luck with the pipes Matt? Im in Maltby. We'll have to sort a day out laning when were both up and ready. Sure Pete with the green bobbed rangie will be up for it. Mick

Matt, plenty of disco's being broken for spares on ebay not far from here. Worth an email or phone call?

I know its not much use to you as you don't have the Disco high pressure pipe, but for if you do come across one, I used an 8mm compression joint and joined the two pipes together on the n/s chassis rail. Fit and sealed easy with no leaks. Not sure if Pirtek would, but they could possibly make you up the pump end with a foot or so of flexible hose and some 8mm steel pipe for you to cut to size and fit as I did. Mick.

Think I'd rather have done the bulkhead that the footwell I replaced on mine. Real PITA, could have done some other jobs as well while it was out! Sure I'll be reading this again in time to come. Quick off topic question for Eightpot. Did you buy that Landy from a guy in Rotherham? It looks identical to my work mates old one. Mick.

Something like 'THIS' of any use? Mick.

Dave, Sorry for the delay. Didn't manage to get anything done last weekend. Made the mounting for the air filter assembley last night and will be temporarily fitting the air box to it with cable ties, until I can get some huge hose clips. I did manage to get you a pic of the hose I'm using to show you how flexible it is.... That's 2m of 63mm (IIRC) hose knotted. Fits the Disco turbo outlet and the TD filter a treat. Weather permitting, pics of it all mounted at the weekend. Cheers, Mick.

Dave, All being well, I should be mounting and piping my air filter assembley up this weekend so I'll take some pics to show how well the hose flexes and fits. I'm making a mounting plate to mount the air filter assembley to where the air con compressor was, so will be running the snorkel up the offside like your hoping to do. Cheers, Mick.

Dave, I've got both hoses lying around from the old TD. Not sure what condition their in but if you want them you can have them for the price of postage? Alternatively, I picked up some really flexible hose for my conversion, needed to be longer than the TD pipes. The hose is identical to the hose southdown are selling on eBay for £23/metre. I paid about £6/metre from Carlton Hydraulics in Rotherham. Could possibly get to you some and post later this week it if need be? Cheers, Mick.

It should run, but it will be lumpy like you say. But it might attract some attention.... every little helps as more and more keep disappearing without trave lately.

Would also be a good idea to have a master switch to use as an anti-theft device!

Screw a small self tapping screw into the old seal, and prize it out with a pair of pliers or a claw hammer. Prizing the seal out with a screw driver could scrape the surface deep enough to cause another leak. You can buy a seal puller from such as Machine Mart but the above has worked for me every time. Mick.

If the fuel pump isn't activating when you switch the ignition on, I'd be checking for a feed at the pump itself now you've ruled out the relay/fuse. If theres an electrical feed, try powering the pump up. Either with some wire or a power probe. Mick.
