    300tdi AC tensioner pulley

    I had a similar problem as well on my AC install last weekend. Ended up with a shredded belt after about 300 miles. I didn’t have an original idler pulley, but the pulley supplied with the kit was from Britpart. I also didn’t follow the procedure in the workshop manual by setting the torque...

    4BD1T vs OM606

    I own both a turbo’d Perentie and a 5 door 300Tdi. The Isuzu is hands down more powerful. My 300 is tuned up also with new injectors, new turbo, and new IP. The Achilles heal of the Perentie is the 4-speed LT95A. Plenty of AUS guys have put an R380 behind the Isuzu and have good results. Just...

    4BD1T vs OM606

    There are some differences in the 4BD1(T) from an NPR truck and a Perentie. Can’t remember off the top of my head, but there are differences. Would need to figure out what they are. KLR in AUS sells replacement parts for the Isuzu, and I’ve had good luck using the Perentie Parts manual available...

    1997 RHD South African 110/300TDI-Oil Breather popped off, now no glow plug dash light or able to start

    You can also crack a line to your #1 injector and crank the motor. If you see fuel spitting out of the top of the injector fitting, you know your solenoid is open and your injector pump is spinning via the timing belt. If you’re a one-man show, set up your phone to record it while you crank it...

    1989 Land Rover Perentie 110 GS with low km's, $ 20,000 OBRO

    Had my Perentie on Oahu, but I had a VA title and a CT registration already. What about a specific POA? For someone you trust in Maine?

    LR owner Christmas gifts?

    Those SDO wing vent covers are pretty sweet. Never again worry about putting your knee through the cheap plastic when your crawling up on th wing to do whatever.

    How To Install Electric Front Windows

    1. Are your switches lighted? Lighted with lights on, not lighted when lights off? 2. How did you route wiring from door to bulkhead? Thanks!

    Is there an easy off the shelf match to Alpine White for small pieces? Or is there a paint code?

    200 TDi radiator fan shroud.

    I did the Ford Taurus fan mod in a 200Tdi. It is a 2 speed fan with a shroud, less than $100, spares available at every Autozone in the US. Install was very clean and shroud only took a little bit to modify for a nice fit against the radiator.

    A Memorial re-power of sorts

    Thank you for sharing this sentimental build with us. It's nice that your daughter is getting married and you're able to spend time with her. Yes, it can. It is one heavy lump, and doing it alone can be concerning. It's a lot of momentum once it's in motion. I've done it both ways - alone and...

    Discovery 200tdi into Defender

    Steve Parker has this lower hose that I believe will be a direct fit. IIRC, depending on what type of reservoir you use, may require a small extension near the tank. It's kind of a hassle to order from them, but you get a nice hose with no joints. You could use what you've built as a back up...

    Discovery 200tdi into Defender

    I put a Disco 200Tdi into a LHD Tithonus. I used a TD5 steering shaft and clocked the turbo. The Glencoyne website was helpful. I also modified the alternator bracket to allow it to rotate as far up and out of the way as possible for the turbo intake hose. Disregard, just saw you're using a...

    Garrison Window Fix

    I bought this kit for my front windows and it didn't fit on a Perentie. I thought they were the same LR window door tops. Apparently not.
