If it's a 90 on 205 tyres, try putting the speedo drive pinion from a 110
in. This will give a virtual increase in speed of about 10%.

anybody know of any modifications to a 2.5 diesel nat asp engine
without putting a turbo on it???
No !
Well,you could always try swapping it for a 2.25 for a week or two.
Put the 2.5 back,and you'll think you're flying.

Subject: Condensors
Don't know if this is right but here goes.
I run a Series 111 Lightweight with a 2.5 petrol engine, the problem is
I'm having to change the condensor every 1-2,000 miles can anybody tell
me why.
Also would it be better for me to put in electronic ignition, taking into
consideration that my mechanical skills extend to knowing that you use
the pointy end of a screwdriver. ( I think )!

I find that putting a block of wood under the accelerator pedal for a
couple of weeks makes a whole load of diference when you take it out!
I put 10 mph on top speed, and 5 seconds off 0-60 time of my 110 turbo
diesel last weekend, simply by flattening out the mat under the pedal,
and the conversion only cost pennies (to use as washers).
Seriously, if you think a 2.5 diesel is slow you should try a 2l in a
109 series 1, a 2.25 in a series 2 isn't much better. The best
performance improvement for our series 2 diesel was having it brought
home by AA Relay truck!
You could try new filters, checking that the exhaust is not clogged
with soot or the air hose not internally collapsed, that the head
gasket is OK, and that the injector spray patterns and pump settings are OK.

Kim,
The only thing I can think (and it's a bit of a long shot) of is that the
points gap is too small. If this is the case, the coil is able to store
more energy which gets dumped into the condenser. When the points are
opened, the condenser and coil form a tuned circuit (at least until the
spark jumps and removes a lot of this energy). Of course, as a tuned
circuit the voltage levels can easily exceed 12v.
The point of this argument is that if the condenser is under more
electrical stress, it may fail sooner. Strangely enough I just replaced
mine as it let me down.
Any thoughts anyone ?
Trefor.

The first thing that comes to mind is that the coil might not be the right one.
The Lucas and some Bosch coils have built in resistors, this is not a very
common setup, and it may be that the coil was replaced with a non resistor type
coil. This would quickly burn out your points and eat up your condesors.

Subject: Alternator terminals
Help!
Could someone please tell me how to identify terminal W on the alternator on a
300Td? I'm installing a rev-counter in the 90 and the instructions on that
connection aren't clear.
Thanks in advance

Subject: speedo fluctuations
Recently p.hazell@worc.ac.ul asked about speedo fluctuations. From the symptoms
he described it sound like the faults I had on a ex mil ser 3. What I found was
that the large nut on the rear output shaft on the transfer box was loose. The
speedo drive gear is clamped by this nut and when it is loose the gear rotates
at various loads and speeds and gives some very weird effects. It may be other
things of course but check this out as I bought a new cable only to find after
fitting the fault remained.I also found that the fibre oilseal washer tends to
compress after time so this fault is usually accompanied by oil coming between
the uj flanges.
