I think people put this off as the filler is in a bad place

@@BritannicaRestorations Spot on Mike, that is exactly why!

lol!

Hi Axel! I found the mainshaft of the gearbox was finished once I got the transfer out -so I pulled the gearbox off and stripped it -the reverse gears are all chipped and broken!

Lol!

Thanks! Mike

Wait what

Glad you like it!

There are a lot of D1's over here that get robbed - hardly any 300 Tdi at all, but they are now a dying breed

The gearbox output spline is shot too! Forgot to mention that!

@@BritannicaRestorations Probably easier just to swap the lot if you have a good'u. 300 will pull the disco ratios...Hang on, think I'm telling you how to suck eggs here :-) :-) Crikey Mike what time do you get up....:-) Cheers Wayne

I tell you - not the snow has gone and jobs come rolling in I am up at 4.30 to get through the day!

They all come here eventually!

Yeap, middle of nowhere!

Lol!

Coming soon - but it it pulls to the left there is a problem with the right hand brake

@@BritannicaRestorations Bonjour From Europe and Brexit ... I sorted out the pull to the right when braking... was from the wheel alingment and from the rear axel allingment. Now drives and brakes straight. Thanks for your videos. You have only likes 👍🏻

Thanks!

Thank you!

@@BritannicaRestorations Mike kiedy naprawiamy?

It's such a shame the D1's rotted out here and we never got the Tdi's

No problem with rot here , not a speck of rust in mine except for where some paint has been blasted off the chassis from dirt roads and it is just surface rust , no overheating even in 45c plus temperatures working hard . Had to do the head at 260k still has all the crosshatching on the bore and no measurable wear plus get better than 10l/100k 16 in low range . Have had a lot of land rovers over the years and the 300tdi has to be the best of them especially for remote travel. No electric gremlins unlike the td5 and later . You have just got a sub from me in FNQ Australia were winter lasts 3 weeks

I will be doing something on the LT230 this week

@@BritannicaRestorations dziękuję. 😀

Bit of a tricky one The 1:2 transfer is good in a 300Tdi 90 and Td5 90/110, but personally I think they are a bit too high for a 300Tdi 110 with a load on Depends what you want to do with it- speed, power, economy? Mike

@@BritannicaRestorations just forward speed for cruising that's all Mike! Won't be doing any towing or working, it's just going to be used for camping trips anywhere and everywhere, it'll be a road queen not a mudplugger!

@@BritannicaRestorations I think you are spot on Mike. I have a 1.2 in my 300tdi 110 (no engine mods), big benefit is the general economy and motorway use, but day to day it can make it feel sluggish getting up through the gears especially when loaded up. Maybe ok if using boost pins or tweaked pump etc. But if or when the time comes I fancy changing it back. I have a standard 90 td5 to compare, the 300tdi is a 200k+ tired old thing but just doesn't have the guts that the td5 has.

Bloody Omega watch! a day out!

Peter I've used Bilt Hamber it's excellent stuff especially for home use. The cavity wax comes with a long lance nozzle.

@@darland3821 Thanks Darland I use the wheel cleaner shampoo and speed wax (well i wax it now and again) and find their stuff really good
