    Bringing Sexy Back. AKA 93' LWB RRC

    The head gasket was blown. Making it hard to start and leaking water out from the head. You'd think that by putting a different kind of non- Land Rover engine in it I'd be done with head gaskets. Well lesson learned head gasket God's. Well played Land Rover. Well played Sent from my...

    Diesel talk 200 tdi or 300 tdi?

    I did get 41.5 mpg out of our rental car. A 2018 Kia Optima Estate. It was a 1.7 turbo diesel. We put 1300 miles on it in a week. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Diesel talk 200 tdi or 300 tdi?

    iTS CALLED A LED FOOT. HA HA HA. I don't like to overstate my fuel mileage. I hate guys who think they are getting 50+ mpg out of their cummins. I get 17 out of my cummins, but I have a lead foot and like going fast. I didn't calculate anything on the one I bought, but I know it was...

    Bought a couple of 110's

    It shipped Thursday. So as soon as we get through customs and get it on the ground I can give you a better idea on price. The boat alone was $1500. I'm not sure yet what customs is going to cost. That's always the fun part. Its usually 2.5% I think. Without getting out my bible on...

    Got the head off, took a couple hours. Its one reason I like this engine. super simple to work on. No special tools, no special anything. Gonna get the otherside off monday and take the heads down to get shaved, flattened, whatever.

    Diesel talk 200 tdi or 300 tdi?

    Having just bought one of each. The 200 TDi is definately slower that the 300 TDi. I drove the 300 TDi in a defender station wagon with 33" tall tires, 400 miles across the UK from Great Yarmouth to Nottingham and then to Southampton and its very livable. Fuel mileage was pretty good 16-17...

    If you want patterns in Autocad for the Adapter plates let me know. As long as you don't go and try to sell it later on. I have a lot of time into them, and never used them. I sold one kit to a guy a couple years ago. He used it in a D2, Said it worked okay. He did swap the transmission to...

    The frame has been rebuilt. The guy didn't even know what he had. So we got a really good deal on it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    This is the 1989 200 TDi we bought as well. We are going to repaint some of it and give it a nice once over, wolf wheels, larger tires and a lift. Has a rebuilt ascroft transmission in it. Salisbury rear axle.

    Thanks for the info. Atleast the V5 shows it using heavy oil (or whatever they show as diesel fuel) on the documents.

    It was in the window. I took it off before it went on the boat. When its in the port, it doesn't need it anymore. The other one we bought still has both of its number plates attached. Once it gets over here they will probably be removed.

    Bought a couple of 110's

    Very not easy to import. My friend and I set up a company in the UK, a business bank account, had to learn all the rules to get them into the USA, and how to know if they are the legitimate vehicle they say they are. For instance, if they have a diesel in them, better make sure it was sold as...

    Bought a couple of 110's

    I've been over in the UK since Thursday and my buddy and I were able to pick up a couple 110's we've had our eyes on. Here's a picture of them. Pretty nice, current MOTs and can't wait to get them here in 3-4 weeks by ocean. The truck is 2.5L Turbo diesel. 1989 110 Defender. Bought it...

    Bringing Sexy Back. AKA 93' LWB RRC

    So update, The engine has a blown headgasket on the passenger side. I finally got it filled with water and got it up to operating temperature yesterday. The cooling system seemed to be getting over pressurized and then I noticed it was starting to leak water from the passenger-side...
