They are both called tdi but the 300 is a di (direct injection) and the terrano is a idi (indirect injection completely different type of engine

Ok will have a read about it, only going to run 50/50 with regular oil changed and every so often run 100% diesel to flush it.

It runs fine when engine is warm and oil is runney enough it when the engine is cold and oil thicker like in winter it has more problems with ring gumming that's y I said bout twin tank on the 90 start it up on diesel warm engine then switch to oil then when u finished for the day u run back on pure diesel to flush out any oil for when u start cold again:thumbs

The trol IS old skool too :lol
Cheers for that I've seen the turbo style ones and yes much easier to mod with BUT bloody expensive
Good old eaton easy to refurb and buy good s/h ones for 200 quid for the M112 plenty used on jags etc. You can't beat positive displacement either :naughty
Cortina is coming along ........................... slowly :thumbs

 

[Fez_uk]
