Puffing billy imitation.
After finishing the D1 300tdi rebuild, we’ve decided to start another restoration. This time a 200tdi 110 I bought about 4 years ago, with a blown motor, 250k km on the clock. The crank case vent was puffing like a steam train, the paint is a bit sunburnt, and the footwells have a little rust. All quite repairable.
We’ve started pulling bits off the motor and getting ready to get it out. Here’s a few pics. Access to the bell housing bolts is a lot easier with the 110.
Any tips would be appreciated. And any comments on LT77 box would be appreciated. Ive never owned a LR with this box.

Does anyone know why there would be oil on the turbo inlet?
Thanks.

Crank case vent inlet to turbo delivering oil?

One or two have suggested I should consider swapping to a 300tdi (and R380 etc). I remember 200tdi owners bagging the 300tdi when it was released. I didnt take much notice as new Land Rover models often get bagged by enthusiasts.
Any experience with both on here?

You should stop wasting your time on that old car, I'll take it off your hands no questions asked!
But seriously... I guess it depends on what you hope to achieve, do you want it to be fairly original?
If not then the 300 TDI r380 combo will be the easiest to get parts for and keep running.. but some are quite particular about keeping things original spec, and I also get that.
I believe some felt that the torque curve in the 200 was better than the 300.
The 200 is a lot harder to work on for a number of jobs.
I think the best feature they had was the exhaust manifold not being part of the turbo, makes it a lot easier to upgrade, or was that just the disco?
Of course no one is gonna ask you to pop the bonnet to look at a 300, but some will to look at the 200, I know I would.
Thanks Shack.
I am probably going to keep it for at least 2 or 3 years, then see if it meets all my needs as a low budget tourer. As in comfort, capability, reliability. It ticks no safety boxes. I dont think I’ll be towing anything with such a small motor.
I’d prefer to keep it all original, for originality’s sake and as mods always have some knock on effect (small or medium hassle).

I slowly turned the crank over on the week end. It’s not seized, so that’s a good start.
