Thanks for your demo of 300Tdi engine

[@chrismiller9740]

Thank you Mike. This video is most helpful.

[@nigelsandywell8403]

Thanks again Mike for the knowledge, ace Vid

[@weaton25]

I love watching people mending stuff like this keep up the good work Mike.

[@stephenlyttleton9032]

I've done these before but still learned several things. Thanks Mike. The long form video is great, although I watched it in 3 parts.

[@paulfowler2790]

Very good educational video Mike thank you

[@marcovanstaden45]

Hats off to you, I love your videos, long and short. I've got one of those slickshift kits on my R380 and would recommend to anyone. Turns it from feeling like you're stirring a cauldron to stirring a cuppa tea 😂

Enjoyed the video Mike, you're almost 10,000 subscribers, you deserve to get there soon

The Bearmach vac pump has the same stamping, mine has failed after 6 months and was ticking by 2 months. I think out of all the noises a Land Rover can make the ticking from either the vacuum pump or the lift pump has to be the most annoying. Good video is there a torque setting for the cyclone bolts mine is still pissing out oil even with a new o ring, I managed to get cheap genuine bagged pipes, they were very soft and no longer braided.

I drilled and replaced the seal on the vacuum pump, then replaced the rivets with bolts all while leaving the pump in place on the engine. Turned out to be a good job. But I'm afraid this one is too far against the bulkhead to be able to do it in that way.

[@mattluszczak8095]

With the rubber hose to the rocker cover get genuine or oem as the aftermarket britpart collapses and no joke looks like a condom.... bhahahhaha

[@chrismiller9740]

My LT230 leaks despite a complete reseal last year. Think it was the cheap Brit part seals. I was too cheap at the time to spring for the genuine/Oem seals. For the labor involved in removing this pig from underside the vehicle, 50.00 more in parts would have been worth it. For now I top up LT ever so often. I’m unsure all leaks can ever be permanently stopped haha.

Have you got a fluorescent tube in that workshop that needs changing?.

Hi Mike, Love the long video's ( less time to work on the RRC and Disco 1), Talking of Discos does the vacuum pump on a 200tdi sound the same as the 300tdi when worn ? would be helpful to know before I strip down the top end to replace the cam followers, The ticking only starts above 1,000 rpm. Can't wait for the 300tdi/RRC, Just what I am going to do next when I get my wife's Disco sorted.

Hey Mike, love your videos. Why don’t you make one with you on the beach, sipping on a margarita?

[@the_hamrat]

Those TDI vacuum pumps are a bleeding disaster! In 15 years of having our 90 we've replaced the pump at least 5 times. They just don't last! We've tried the OEM part, Britpart and Bearmach, they're all as bad. We're strongly considering putting an electrical pump in and forgetting the whole bloody thing

[@doyledesign1676]

Hi mike. Great work. What gearbox/transfer case would you marry to a 300TDI for dependability and performance. Jim

[@harveysmith100]

Mike, I can't believe that you are suggesting that Her Majesties army had been less than gentle whilst selecting reverse.

[@Jimmyjibbajabba]

What is it item your using to find the oil leak. Smoking device ?

[@mickhughes361]

Mike...which supplier can get you the vacuum pump in one day?
