Hello again everyone!
Well I collected my disco today ( a replacement for my old wreck)
I have shed loads of reciepts to go with for callipers and new gearbox etc, however it doesn't run, there's no starter and no power getting through.
I have a feeling once I put a starter in this should cause the power to return, howere the engine is supposedly in fine fettle but running badly, it has a full service history and is VERY clean, along with a VERY clean cylinder head.
The block is a golden yellow colour. Is this normal?
My big question that I have is, are there any 200tdi enthusiasts anywhere near me that could pop over at the weekend and stick their head under the bonnet and give me a hand to find out what the heck is wrong with her. I have a decent engine but I don't want to have to swap it out if it's not needed.
Is there anyway to check the timing on these engines, diesel is new black art form to me :roll:
Well I should start my own investigations on thursday, so here's hoping!

It's gold becasue it's a recon then, Unipart engines were branded Gold Seal and Silver Seal, depending on whether they were rebuilt or reconditioned/overheauled. No guarantee that it's a Unipart engine though.
