Buy something else if talking "long distance motorway journeys".. Seriously.. Tdci is not that bad, really.

Yes.. Turner has been crucial in solving the rear crank seal problems we had with a 200 Tdi. Good luck !

One gets usu what one pays for. If you can afford it - go where the quality is good and the service too..

Could be the light switch - but also the indicator switch as dipped beam goes through it. Check the diagram for what colour does what - mine are custom wired so useless. In the column you can check the multiplugs to see if there are any problems - and if the live feed is there.. Bon Courage !

Sounds like a good one ! Make sure the diff lock isn't stuck. Raise a front wheel and see if it spins. Engage diff lock and it should stop - may take some rotation. If not use enough they get hard to engage..

Hope we can see you here some day Mike and enjoy some Laning ! Again, Big Thanks.

You guys are AWESOME !! A HUGE Thank You to Dave & Mike - very much appreciated. Hope to meet you either here - good Laning - or over there : IF you guys let me in with the new Visa rules.....

I would vote for Shabs too, the box would be better than new.

Nice !

As I said, combining work & collection of these made it very worth wile. This stuff is 3 x the price in Holland. "good campsites en route from Calais to St Tropez" ? IF you take the A71, take exit 11 and go to "Trouve.eu" They know Land Rovers, are 6 miles away from us and have good facilities. Bon Route !

We have Continental Cross Countries and are very happy with them.

Not sure if you guys are interested but I'm just back from a 6 days trip to Holland to collect roofing materials and to do some work - helps to pay for this lot... All in all, a 2,290 miles in 6 days with a 200 Tdi Ninety. Through monsoon like rain, up the hills in the Ardennes, endless motorway miles on the AutoRoute. Not fast, not the most comfortable but it sure got the job done..

IF, and that is a big IF, the new one would look anything like that it could be a good one. This is the 1st "concept" that sort of appeals to me. Proper engine, heater and tow capacity and I think I could be looking for it....

There is a saying about old skydivers and ... skyidivers Get well Mike - must meet again.

My drive home is usually some 1.000 kms. through 4 countries. Like you, time, energy, costs & idiots on the road play a big role. Off to a client later this year - 2.000 kms. one way - 7 countries. Going to be fun.

It will not really sort of line up I'm afraid. Mods are needed. I am about to take the 2.5 N/A out and fit a 200 Tdi in the Series and heating is a point to address. Before getting drastic, some people have fitted a sandwich heater - 2 Series matrixes in the box and that does seem to make a difference. As I have an Webasto lying around, I'm not too worried and will prob. end up building something from scratch.

Thank you very much - Enorm Bedankt ! That is a huge effort ! Merci.

Wheel up, prop shaft tool thingie and air / battery gun and loads, loads of "Zen"...... Need to undo 16 of these fine examples of lack of thoughts today.....

Gauges like, in general, a stabilized feed. Often, when switching on lights, the gauges will read higher because the voltage drops a bit. Like he said, separate feed / stabilizer usu do the trick.

Turner will export to you, as will Rpi or Causeway4x4. But you may want to have a look deeper into the engine before ordering. If this is now visible, you may find more - and the shipping costs will not be much higher for extra things like bearings etc.. Good luck !

Used many auto boxes off road and never had problems. Offroading with an autobox is very nice. Serious Overlanding with an autobox is something you may want to reconsider. Interesting conversion - please keep us posted.

I have the RRC pulse generator (short bit of cable into the TB and a few cables to generate pulses) VDO programmable speedo. Simple & works well.

Have Fun & be safe. Make sure you fill up when you can - not when you think you need to.

Nothing wrong with push buttons.... Manually operated glowplugs & starter..

Yes. "Free delivery" is a pain. But it is even worse when living in France because as we all can understand, shipping form China and the likes costs a fraction of what it costs to ship from the UK to France. Even a jiffy bag from the UK will easily set you back a ukp. 15 However, that will al change next month.....
