Well, after removing the slave cylinder and poking around I decided the fork wasn't moving as it should and I've now removed the engine.

Sure enough the U shaped clip that holds the fork to the bearing had popped off and one of the little prongs on the bit that holds the slave cylinder push rod to the fork has broke too, typical on a bloody Sunday and all!!

So now I'm kind of back to square one!!

P.S V8_redline7500 what was the issue with the heat wrap?

Xtremeteam:
instead of heat wrapping the exhaust i decided to put the wiring up the inside of a heat reflective sleeve so it wouldnt short out on the manifold & catch fire like it did the first time round  :oops:

fitted the sleeve & then discovered the "tinfoil" was shorting out the wire terminals & causing all sorts of weird things to happen on the dash,so whipped that of & decided to run without

stefan:
Hooray, the engine is now back in the 90 and the clutch is fixed, where the engine had been stood for a while the clutch disks must have stuck together, I replaced the slave cylinder and plastic fiddly bits then found that I could change gear when the engine was off, but not with it started, so I put it in to first gear, clutch down and started, there was a slight jolt and the clutch plates were free'd, now all OK!!  :)

Took it out for a short test drive and it pulls like a train especially compared to my old 2.5 petrol engine!

All I need to do now is find a permanent home for the air filter 'cos it won't fit where it used too (suggestions?) and also the temperature sender is displaying the temp at max.

Does anyone know off hand if the sender from a 2.5 petrol (which is what it was) will fit the 200Tdi, if not any other suggestions?

Airfilter,made mine up using a tdi filter & making a bracket to mount of the front inner wing where the rad support goes,

Sender,unless you fancy taping the hole out to take a disco 1 IMHO id fit a tims guage from say halfrauds or demon tweeks,mines currently has a N/A diesel sender & sits at the bottom of the red at norm temp & at the top when the fan kicks in,gonna fit a tims guage when i get round to it as i know it will be ok as is the now

stefan:
So are the temp senders sizes different between a Defender and Discovery 200 TDi? Mine is a Disco engine.
