yer i know but i just cannot help me self, ive spent me life blowing up cars that are overtuned, didnt think id mess about with these old diesels as i havent played for years now, but something just come over me this morning.
ive just been out and got it running ok now fuelled it a bit so it still is quite nippy, compared to how it origionally was. it just dont want to turn off now, so will have to get a new solonoid 2morrow.

Guardian.:
my offroading consists of grass tracks when were out pest controlling, its just got the bits on as we sell em so i am not bothered about things like that. i have no intension of driving upto my neck in agua.

i adjusted the diaphram a bit, ok, a lot, and no as usual i didnt mark anything, and then knoked of the plastic coller and wound her in about 3 turns.

Yep, that would do it!  :lol:
When I did mine, bearing in mind I have an Allards Intercooler fitted, I went about 110 degrees on the diaphram, 360 degrees on the Smoke Screw, left the plastic collar in place and went 180 degrees on the Star Wheel.
I didn't have to touch the idle and I left the wastegate alone.
I did each one in turn and drove the vehicle in between to see what it was like and make sure there wasn't too much smoke.
It took a while to get it right but it was worth it in the end.  :D

You have to be careful about how much you alter these settings as it will affect the Exhaust gas temperature (EGT). Running with the EGT too high for long periods can make a mess of the engine and, if it doesn't burn out the valves or cook the turbo, will shorten the life of the engine.

TBH moving the air intake won't have that much difference. I fitted a K&N i57 kit to mine and didn't really notice the difference between that, the standard filter setup & the Safari Snorkle I have on it now.

Guardian.:
just had disco towed int local garage, blown up, got it set so nice as well, looks like fuel pump gave up the ghost and knacked the head as well.
what fun!
