thanks for the input guys, i will get hit for sticking another landy on the drive but i think its the only way to go as people seem to want silly money for a bare engine, more than a whole disco in most cases! madness I read the tech archive about the 300 engine mounts, does anyone make these adapters yet?
ok so finally going to sort out getting an engine to replace my TD but the question is which to go for??200 or 300tdi. Is the 300tdi worth the extra hassel when it comes to fitting? i will be using my lt77 and 1.4 TB for the moment (May consider a swap to 1.2 in future) I will be using the landy for occasional laning and light offroading but 75% road driving i would say. Is the 300 more receptive to tuning up?
all help appreciated
'87 Td engine, it had been sat for about 5 years prior to me buying it mid last year and have just started using it on the road. the performance has increased slightly once the cobwebs were blown out as it were however it has now developed a significant amount of white spoke which puffs every 1-2 secs, so what do people think is due to break first? turbo? piston rings?
i had the same problem, tried jumping it with a petrol astra whilst running to no affect but my diesel insignia with bigger battery fired it straight away whilst running.
