mechanical for question Landrover Disco 300TDi

im sure you mean ashcrofts as turners do engines not transmissions lol and the cross drilled input shaft was standard on this chaps gearbox from new !

 

Yes your right ashcrofts. The first 300tdi discos did not have the cross drilling for months. Thousands of gearboxs failed within a few hundred miles being an export it may have not been picked up. Reading the first post I see its a 1999 so irrelevant.

Hi all,

 

just to update ,

 

the throttle `jerky`overun issue has turned out to be the section of prop after the transfer box,

also the clutch is pretty well knackered.

 

the lack of power was a mixture of a few things including a blown head gasket, pump needed a clean, part of a mouse nest in the safari snorkel to the air filter box and the turbo air gate was open for to long.

 

going in to the garage for a complete overhaul and part renovation next week, so it will all get done then . ( once I have ordered all the parts from the UK ,as it is way cheaper than over here. for example a Clutch over here is 180€ and in the Uk I can get one for 80€.

 

Many thanks for all the help and info guys, will update once all the work is done.
