hello everyone , an update on my even more awesome defender , she may leak when it rains , she may have a yellow headlight ( found melted connector this morning ) . The rear wiper is working again , the front wipers click with every swipe , but she now has a very tweaked pump and a full size intercooler . and do you know the best bit , despite her niggles , she is bloody amazing , what a machine , FUN with a capital "F" yeeeeeeeee harrrrrr , hope everyone are well , oh must fit a snorkle , we got some deep water out there

veetee , apologies for my poor pic , if you pull away the door rubber , where it bends down at the front , i had a gap each side , i filled this with sealant and thin foam tape , this stopped alot of water . if i parked the defender so it was lower on the drivers side , and it rained lots , i then had water coming throught the bracket with the 3 bolts , it looked as though it was coming through one off the bolts , i now have some new brackets and gaskets , but yet to fit them , have treated her to some new door seals too , yet to fit as when i seem to have 2 mins , its rains n rains

love your thread Razz, welcome to the 300 tdi "club", i've done most of that to mine, the one thing you might find a bit better is, that i have always used K N air filters, find them better and more responsive, hope it helps you, keep up the pics and updates

thank you for the links , very very handy indeed . on an engine tuning note , i had turned that pin in the pump to give more fuel , and turned down the starwheel , but was intriqued that i was not getting any smoke at all , so thinking i may get more uummpphh , i pinged off that full power screw tamper thing and screwed that screw in , 2 turns later , i now get some smoke , hoorarrrr , have tweaked the smoke screw so i get just a little on launch , theres just a smidge in the middle , n a litttle at the top when flat out , will try n get a smidge more outta the top end and and then leave it be , once ya get the hang of it and know what does what , its actually fun fiddling . next , turbo time |

k&n filter now on my christmas list 
an update on the pump tweaking , several starts n stops later , shes sittting pretty with a nice haze from the pipe , i did for the sake of it , over adust to make it a smoke machine , but felt a pratt and it did`nt really make a huge difference , also fitted a top of range ebay turbo boost gauage , just to see what shes pushing , mine flys up to 1.4 bar , but quickly calms to 1.1bar , so thats ok then . so thats just about the end of the engine tweaks , enjoyed it i have , but should i have got a td5 i wonder ,oh n fitted silicone pipes at last , that made a slight improvment due too the original pipes being a tad poor , cheers ady |

I've always wondered if i should of gone to the TD5, but i thought do you want all the ecu stuff or not as with the tdi, and on the other hand, when do you stop wanting more power !!!!!!!! mine was never
Hope you find an answer, i'm still trying to find mine  |
