I used a RRC round canister AF. Mounted it on the left fender liner. I will have a stock intercooler in a month or two when I get around to putting in my new radiator and Alisport IC.

So if a guy were so inclined, a gas r380 to tdi would require a new main shaft first gear and a new counter ( lay ) shaft as well?

Hmmmm, I had not noticed the 1st gear difference. No stick relocation needed, Disco/Disco. Thx!

Getting ready to overhaul an R380 and was wondering if anyone has experience with the following. I have a J suffix R380 out of a NAS '95 Disco, so V8 application. It needs some 2nd gear work, some brainiak ran it with 90wt. I was thinking of getting a TDI input shaft and using it behind my...

Ahhhh, why not the Ford 300? Stayed in production longer, factory EFI. The 292 isn’t a bad choice, but the 300 is way more common.

I would re time the pump with a dial indicator back to factory, 1.54mm and put the boost pin back to stock. Then see what your egt's are. As far as the intercooler goes, I would see what I could do to get T1, pre cooler, and T2, post cooler, temps under load. Generally more inter cooler...

Well, if you have a '95 or earlier I think that's a no go. Mounting points are side specific. I would get a diaphragm from Bearmach (ExMoor) and a base foam and rebuild it. Covers are pretty universal so just about any Disco seat base cover will work.

Title says it. I currently have an Aluminum and plastic aftermarket radiator, correct 300TDI style. I was looking at the Bearmach site, they still list a copper and brass radiator for Defender 300TDI. I know the RRC and Disco 1 300TDI use the same cooling package, not sure about Defender and...

All the dizzy motors use the same plug wires.

Looking for any recomendations for a block heater for a 300tdi. I don't run it much in the winter but I do need to move it around on occation.

Low charge simptom. Pull the charge and see whats there. Hopefully you have a charge weight noted some where on the system. Then you can either charge it up to 250 psi with nitrogen and bubble check for leaks (preffered method) or you can have dye put into the system with a refrigerant...

I would agree.

I doubt that REAL classic cars are taking much of a hit, your Benz gull wing or that Shelby GT350 you run to the store in are probably pretty safe price wise. It will just take a couple of months to move one not a couple of days. IMHO Rovers are not classic cars, the Series trucks and the...

A subject near and not so dear to me. I am luck enough to have two really desirable cars, both are project condition at the moment. And my 300TDI Disco gets a fair amount of attention if it's running. I have a 1962 FJ-45 SWB pickup, and a '34 Ford 3 window deluxe coupe. Hasn't happened in a...

It is low compared to stock, but remember that is 180 coming OUT of the radiator. The coolant coming out of the head is around 205 to 210 if I am dropping 25 degrees at the radiator. Also I am in the mountains, not on the flats. I live at 10k feet, so my density altitude is about 73% of sea...
