    that is the cleanest 300tdi that I've ever seen in my life

    Fantastic, i have a 300tdi in my '95 110. Amazing how they keep going. Unbeknown to me i had a crack in the head which let water in to the no4 cylinder intake, when i cranked it one day it went bang and bent a conrod! Amazingly it still ran! Was just a bit down on power. I replaced the Conrod and hopefully its good for another 200 thousand miles!
    Great vehicle you have!

      Thanks, hope it's all OK now.
      We've had water issues too. Now doing the 3rd video about 300tdi as we had to replace the entire engine!!
      All the best

    Hi Tony. We were neighbours ( Pieter and Joyce with our Carthago) at camping Costa Do Vizier at Porto Covo in Portugal around Februari. Nice to see that you have your Land Rover ready for the big trip around the World. We will follow your trip with great interest! Wish you both all the best! Regards! Pieter and Joyce

    Nice video , I have a 98 300tdi ,pride of the British Army and the Crankshaft broke after 147k miles!!!!

      Had the replacement fitted plus timing belt,clutch rear main etc etc
      Goes well but drips oil from seam between bell housing and block
      Also lots of white smoke on start up. Had new injectors , glow plugs plus there is a knock that sounds tappety but is not.
      The engine came from a rolled Landie Beginning to wish I’d bought Toyota!!!!!!

    Hello and thanks for sharing your experience. I did Not get the while story, so May I ask, is there a Special reason for the T4 Bonnet or did you Swap the 300TDi for the TD4 engine? Did you "Upgrade" the engine with some ( brazilian) 2.8 (300TDi) parts? ( Crankshaft e.g.). I like the electronic free 300TDi Discovery (3dr Trophy model) and the 200TDi in my 109 S3 ex-mod, too. Regards Heinz, Germany

      Hello Heinz. Thanks for your interest.
      I just like the bonnet - no special reason.
      This engine was a second hand 1995 300tdi that I fully rebuilt and fitted about 10 years ago. It served us well until last year. It had some mods - larger ally radiator, full size intercooler & a variable vane turbo.
      We have made a 2nd film about the issues we've had recently & are currently putting together part 3 which documents the replacement engine with a brand new 2.8 300tdi (it has been in a week & we are still test driving it).
      I too prefer no electronics.
      All the best. Tony

    Indeed, very good to hear that this is your engine of choice.. I have just replaced a Puma 2.4 with a 300Tdi rebuilt at home. Did you stick with the standard vacuum pump or did you modify?

    I have 300tdi in my 1987 90.....strange I never fitted viscous fan, only manual electric fan, never needed to use it...but then I guess its a little 90 not a heavier 110...? never had overheating issues?

  • @RobertWalker-d2m
    @RobertWalker-d2m Рік тому +1

    I have a 300TDI myself, and recently had to have a new high pressure diesel pump fitted as the apparently contaminated fuel in Lesotho reduced the lubricating effect of the diesel. I mention this because you said these engines would run on paraffin. I wouldn't recommend this for the above reason.

    • @grandrovervoyager
      @grandrovervoyager  Рік тому

      They will run on any oil based fuel but it must be clean. It's when you get diesel with water in it is what does the damage as not all the water will sit in the bottom of the filter also extremely fine sand can pass through as I have experienced in North Africa.

    • @gordonbragge1643
      @gordonbragge1643 10 місяців тому

      Add standard 40 grade oil to your tank before filling(to get a good mix) with paraffin and it will be okay.

    • @grandrovervoyager
      @grandrovervoyager  2 роки тому +1

      It was some time ago, but I think it was about £300-400.

      @grandrovervoyager  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Rob
      Yes it did need to have an IVA test due to the modifications to six wheel drive and the longer chassis.

    Can't fault your choice of powerplant. Looks like it came from a Disco?
    BTW all of the viscous fans on our 200tdi seize up for some reason - but that's not really a bad thing to default to!
