True....but they're still a bit tight, even after all the heatshields have been bent/ripped/removed and deposited in the metal bin  I always worry about leaving the remains of the fixings behin ... |

| Caterham, if the fault is recognised long enough to trigger a limp-home reaction, then you should have a MIL illuminated on your dash. The threshold to determine whether the turbo is reacting, or not, ... |

My 1960 S11 with its optional Smiths round heater had a variable speed fan via a rheostat switch !
There's a rheostat switch on the older Rover cars as well; my P4 nearly caught fire after I found ... |

| Probably worth just sticking to the parts that you have got, and fitting them really well. There isn't a lot more that can be done inside the cam cover, and with the TD5, if it works -- leave it alone ... |

| Strictly speaking, as long as the turbo actuator has not moved relative to the turbo that it is built-on, then you do not need to do any other work, other than build a new turbo onto the engine. As th ... |

thank you for the replies.
interesting I'd have thought the turbo would have been spining long before max torq?

What I don't understand is why I can't just extend the loom at the plug but should 'splice' in a new loom?

Yes, definitely a 2.5 "Falcon" turbo diesel, too early for a 200Tdi.

| Broadly speaking, the 200Tdi won't be found much earlier than 1991, though you might find a prototype. The 300Tdi was out in 1994. If the registration plate is earlier than "J" for the 200Td ... |
