If you retain the LT77 gear box, the 300tdi engine sits exactly where the old 4-cyl engine was and requires modified engine mounts as the engine is 6 inches further back than where Land Rover fitted their 300tdi's. This also means that you have to extend the radiator/inter-cooler/oil cooler/PAS pipes and a chop about a 300tdi exhaust pipe. Settled In. 985. Location:Oxfordshire. Posted April 9, 2010. My franchised dealer put Castrol Magnatec Diesel 10/40 in my 300TDi at the first (1000-mile) service and I have continued to use the same stuff ever since. Price at Costco is £32 for 8L (box of 2x4L bottles) which is almost half what I see it for everywhere else. So I went to start my 300 tdi after it bei g sat for 9 months. It was running fine when I parked it. Anyway despite a brand new battery it would't go. Slackened off injector fuel inlet..and no fuel.

The fans working fine and blows cold air no problem but even on the hotest setting it is only blowing mildly lukewarm air. Does anyone have any ideas at all please and is it likely to be a difficult/expensive job. Many thanks. Mar 12, 2011. #4. My 110 300tdi has done 167000 (hard) miles, it feels comfortable cruising at 65mph (on the sat nav), it'll do over 70 but sounds like it's about to fall apart so I don't do this. To be honest mine could probably do with the valve clearances doing and the intercooler flushing (amongst other things)! 1996 300TDI will cost $43-45,000 after import/title/etc 223k miles fully serviced (engine, transmission, diffs, drivelines, axles) body has dents and scratches no rust at all new headliner new wheels and tires new door seals new seatbelts new rubber mat set mantec rear tire carrier 1991 200TDI will cost $30,000 153miles needs full service Started up the 300tdi this morning and got about 1/2 mile away from the house. Sitting at a stop sign at idle, the engine suddenly got louder and ran rough. I turned around immediately and started heading back home when the engine started losing a lot of power and I had to keep a much higher RPM for the car not to stall out. .
