    well done, if my memory serves me correctly the K series engine was notoriously bad for gaskets, there was a recall at Rover for these engines. The reason why is did not start was the primer hand pump needs to be pumped around 30 times, I used to give it to the junior soldier in my section to do. When did it myself I used a broom handle lots of zip ties and used the edge of the engine bay as a fulcrum and pumped it that way, far easier, you need to warm the plugs prior to turning over even on a hot day. For the turbo, let it sit for 30 seconds before moving, at idle, then when you park up let it sit for a minute, it enables the oil to get round and settle, if you look at the engine, some had a ancillary bracket fitted for another alternator, its for a 90 amp alternator to charge a secondary circuit on the vehicle, its a good investment, on the water pump, put a screwdiver on it when running, and your forehead on the screwdriver, you should feel the water pump, if its continuous its fine, if its pulsey/or going to beat that's a sign its on its way out, these water pumps are really bad. The second problem child is the thermostat, its an old wax style thermostat these go all the time, and your engine can get to temperature too quick and overheat leading to the gasket issue. The new version of the engine is now built by BMW and they have solved the problems, if it has sat for a while I would consider draining the fuel tank, and doing an inspection, condensate build up is notoriously bad as well, its not a lemon, just not maintained by its previous owner, these were a full time job in the army, and you have bought a lovely vehicle and you will soon fall in love with it,

    • @overlandready

      @ I think you missed my point, the K series is a Freelander petrol engine... The vehicle has a common conversion to a D1/RRC 200tdi version of the Gemini engines. I think the simple reason for the D1 engine conversion is they are more plentiful and thus cheaper to source, maybe £1000 more in total to do the conversion as 200tdi Def hold their money fairly well, but they don't need specialist exhausts and a faff of inlet workings...
      I have a gen Def 200tdi here at the moment for a rebuild, but it's not on the most important jobs list... nice engine, just a little noisy for my liking.
      I still proper a proper 300tdi. 🙂 quieter, smoother and generally nicer all round.

    The sound you hear from the back of the engine near the exhaust is probably the exhaust manifold warped, quite a known issue, it will need a straight edge putting across it to check. If it's warped you'll need to get the face where it fastens to the head skimmed so it's flat again. Once done you'll need new manifold gaskets to reassemble 👍

    Watching this for inspiration. I've had a Series2 SWB with deisel Disco engine, sat in my parking area for 25 years as I got pissed off with simple bits breaking and I needed it for work. I tried selling it for £1500 just a few years back, and a tyre-kicker turned up FOUR times with his dad or a mate before offering me £1k straight. Told him to fk off. Now roads are so bloody bad and I've retired, I'm going to work it back to roadworthy and bulletproof, as my current little runaround is getting shaken to bits.

    Sounded like a injector seal leak to start with but certainly looks like a head gasket failure, fairly easy job on a TDI though.
    Worth getting the head skimmmed if needed and get the injector seats refinished at the same time .
    I've had a few TDIs and the head gaskets have failed on them all and the heads havenever had any warping , they are prone to cracking though so worth getting pressure tested.
    Have fun .

    OK, your spurious wire was on the OIL PRESSURE SWICH, not the fuel pump. as the connection there is actually on the fuel pump! From the last video exerpt, starter was possible ok, battery was definitely flat.
    Fuel pump is totally mechanical, so you won't hear one...
    Definitely head gasket failure, in the usual place too, off and on in a day.
    No learn about them before going any further... fix things like the electrics as somethings are not working as they should, and maybe invest in a 110 roof and sides and sell the 90 parts. Make it look better.
    Also probably not good to let the parts wash go into the drive/soil/watercourse as it's not nice stuff and kills fish... The wife would be the least of your worries if EA traces anything back to you.

    That’s not the original engine mate, that’s a 200tdi from a discovery which was a common conversion. The head gaskets are prone to go on the rear but it’s not that common. I’ve owned my 200tdi defender for 25 years now and it’s covered 325,000 miles and I’ve done the head gasket once!
    Stay away from parts which comes in blue box’s and you’ll be fine!!

      Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. Wow thats some millage, but great to hear they will run that long with proper maintenance. Hopefully after a new head gasket, proper service and maintenance I can get many good years out of it. Tax and MOT exempt soon swell which will be a bonus.

      @ yes, I’ve seen all the experts commenting about how bad they are and you need to get shot of it.. in all honesty, it will cost you money as it’s an old landy and from the looks of it it’s not been that well cared for.
      But if you Keep them clean and the chassis and bulkhead protected and drive them like a Land Rover should be driven and they will last a lifetime… and use good quality parts is a must!

    That leak could be from the exhaust manifold gasket, fairly common on 200/300 tdi engines

    • @InDadsGarage
      @InDadsGarage  8 дней назад +3

      It’s probably leaking from there too. I’m pretty sure it’s the head gasket. I’m filming the replacement of it tomorrow, so it’s getting one regardless now 😂. Thanks for following buddy. Please keep the comments and suggestions coming. Help a novice out 🙌

    However bad this Lanny may or may not be it's still 1000x better than it's present day counterparts. Engine still running after 35 years and today's versions barely survive their initial warranty. Yes it was by no means perfect but at least you can work on it yourself (though difficult) without having to dismantle half of the engine bay first.

      Same in South America, around 30k for a Defender 300 tdi in average condition up to 100 k for a limited edition in mint condition. The reason the prices skyrocket is that 3rd world countries usually have way higher taxes on imported goods, so in order to pay lower taxes for classic vehicles you sell it at a pre arranged extremely low price ( just on paper ) then when the vehicles reach its destination on 3rd world the 60 up to 90% taxes applied to the vehicle + the transportation won’t kill your profits as you pre arranged your profits previously outside the country of destination.
