Mine is a manual.

So 24 seconds is a bit slow, I thought its slow even for a 300tdi, but wanted to confirm before I start fiddling and modding.

Yes I do have an EGT on my madman.

Thanks guys!

My 300tdi D1 takes 24 seconds 0-100km/h

Is that ballpark or slow for this vehicle?

Hi Fortuin, what all are you monitoring with your madman?

PM sent thanks!

Hi baaienaars!

If people are now allowed to gather in groups of 50 for religious activities, are we allowed to go for a drive?

Or let me rephrase... if one of you get stuck somewhere, would it...

Michelin XZL 7.50R16

Its actually 66.6*% but 65% is close enough.

What do you get?

Heavy duty side shafts wanted for D1 rover diff rear thanks

How does that 3.0 litre mild hybrid feel in the Defender? >:D

My donner Wayne baie welkom op die forum!

Dis n lekker plek!

Mal oor jou Cruiser!

Thank you Ettienne

Thanks! Once the D1 bug has bitten you buy them over and over!

Thank you for this info!

At what coolant temperature does 300tdi engine wear become negligible? 60, 70, 80 degrees?

Stickers added! Next is a replica bull bar

Definitely looks as expected like it will have excellent gravel handling!

Jou setup is regtig indrukwekkend! Jyt aan alles gedink!

As a young boy I watched the Camel Trophy with my dad and since then I was infected.

Currently have my dream... D1 300tdi Camel Trophy tribute vehicle.

I do not shy away from technology though...

I really love the new defender and would also go for the most powerful engine (295kW) but with that power the brake disks will probably be the deciding factor wrt the minimum rim size... I would like...

Hi All,

Reviving this old thread now because my 300tdi D1 has the same issue.

Up the slightest hill not near full throttle she easily reaches 105 degrees and if I do not back off I can easily...

First off road trip!

Guys, can the standard radiator handle towing 2 tonnes up a very long very steep hill on a 45 degree day? I need maximum cooling as I intend to tow in future.

Nico Fourie in Springs did the spray job. I can PM his details to you if you want it?

Thanks yes the overheating issue is first in line and being looked at as we speak. Luckily I could prevent failure by checking the madman.

I want to make it 95%+ Trophy because I can’t get to 100%...

I forgot to mention I had the plastic side skirts replaced with a thick steel rock slider with high lift jacking points.

Also yes I know only stickers one side - got it like that and will fix...

Thanks Petri!

I am not planning a roof rack at this stage but its not out of the question. Reason being I don’t need a roof rack and do a lot of trails and want to keep center of gravity down....

Thanks, I will get you the details, it was outsourced by an indie.

Jip still Discovery 1.2 transfer. With the 32” tires and the move from standard 3.54 to Ashcroft 4.12 ratios the overall gearing is about 5% lower than standard. It really works a treat and I am very...

Thanks, new water pump fitted. Now looking for biggest radiator possible. Will be towing in future.

Thanks for all the responses guys!

With time I will fit longer coils and remove the spacers. I believe the Bilstein B6’s has the required stroke to cope with the 2” increase.

I will definitely...

Hi All,

After many months my baby is finally in my hands.

As a youngster I fondly remember watching the Camel Trophy yearly with my dad. That is where my love for 4x4ing and Land Rover...

R5-6k vir heavy duty ring en pinion vanaf Ashcroft (jyt natuurlik voor en agter nodig so R10-12k vir altwee)

Baie geluk!! Ek mis my Amarok elke dag!
