Yeah it did actually went on no problem gave it a good check once in place as I remembered from your engine rebuild thread you'd had a few issues.That's right mate. I forgot yours is a 200Tdi.
Do those seals also come with a plastic 'sleeve' to help get the seal over the lip of the flange?
The turbo recon company swapped it out out for me. This one is passing a lot less oil. It's much more responsive too. I put a boost gauge in when I was suspicious of the other one, the needle responds much more rapidly now. The old one didn't spin very easily, when you spun the blades with your finger it was 'sticky'. The new one spun much more freely. She's pulling very well, is quiet and smooth compared to before the rebuild. The engine still smokes for a few minutes from cold, but it seems to be using less and less oil each week. So, I'm going to see how it goes for another two or three thousand miles, perhaps more cos the winter will kick in. I'm hoping it's 'running in'. If it's still smoking then I'll have to think about re-honing the bores as James Martin suggested. If I end up doing that it'll have to wait until next spring when the weather warms up as I've just the drive to work on and it's gets canny cold up here.
That's good that they exchanged the turbo. Hopefully it's just a case of the Engine breaking think they all smoke a bit when cold if everything else is fine when it's running then I'd just keep an eye on it for few thousand miles like you say. Sometimes after doing a big job like that you can start to doubt you've done everything correctly but from what I've seen you did a great job on both Landy and engine rebuilds.The turbo recon company swapped it out out for me.

They're over for me anorl. When doing the Landy rebuild I did try and last as long as I could, but once it got too cold I just wrapped the Landy up in a tarp for the winter and waited for spring.
output shaft is a future problem ,best solved now
I was on synchro's website today they have a banner at top stating 10weeks!!
I emailed them, Ashcroft, Aztech Engineering, 4x4 gearboxes etc also emailed a few transmission rebuild specialist near me but no body has gotten back to me yet must not be hungry enough!!! My dad phoned an old Mechanic he know at Liz Toll he gave us a number to phone I'll try that tomorrow if the boss is out the office. If I could get an Lt230 input gear with new bearings fitted then I'd sort transfer box myself just not got access to a press and mandrels
yes, reconditioners often change the number,sometimes as its just policy and others as case is used in a rebuild of a different prefix box
I phoned them yesterday after much arguing they are sending a grommet feck knows how I'm supposed to fit it with all the connectors 
. So hopefully get some progress this weekend then there won't be much as I'll be away working 7 days a week with only 1 day off a fortnight till end October.
Luckily I managed to source a secondhand extension case.
