and it will still break down....

On more serious side, is there concern with intake air temperature when increasing boost like in petrol cars? And if so, what's the safe limit?

nope it aint about 1/4 mile time its about effeciency, making big temperature gradients between the inlet and out let heat levels.

yes, there is a concern about inlet air temps but for a diesel its not as critical as it is for a petrol, the fuel is kept safely out of the combustion chamber till its needed.


And for theNEWT..

no, it wont, its too scared to. I laid my hand upon it and uttered the ulitmate mechanical threat

"if you do not behave you shall be treated like fozzy"

Sorry...Just cant come to that party,.....not yet anyway. Time will tell.

I'm always worried about mine breaking down because of things people say about LR. It has never let me down though and is smooth as silk. So don't understand why people talk badly about them.

I'm sure you all have seen the state my cooling system was in and still the car never even flinched.

Lot of maintenance yeah, but don't forget, it's almost 20years old and it does get used off-road.

I love mine.

Fausto, I can feel the love , but you've got a Tdi and took care of it.
Same with me 15 years of trouble free motoring, plenty of offloading, but always done the maintenance. That's the way it should be , no surprises.

Our cars were probably made on Tuesday or Wednesday

Seems to me you will be in the vicinity in December?

Seems that way...

The top hose lay out, braided hose is to the feed to the turbo, the 2 red ones to the intercooler, you can see the egt probe, tdi200 exhaust manifold. in the plastic bung the low level sensor for the EMS. yellow mower fuel line for the injector spill.

in the deep dark recesses you can see the coolant return for the turbo, this used to be the block drain. 3 inch exhaust and for the really observant the exhaust brake red hoses keep going to the coolant/charge air intercooler

Straigth down shot at the intercooler, basically it just takes the place of the existing metal pipe.
