Found that the oil cooler pipes on the 200tdi engine wont screw into a 300 tdi radiator
I know the hoses are different as well but I can get round that.
Any way the 78k 200 I bought for 150 quid STARTED FIRST TIME and ticked over for a few seconds before I switched off ..RESULT
Might be on the road next week , only front calipers and some wiring and cosmetics to get done.

Well.. kai has been working on his series today. Doing a few bits on the axle-
To start with he decided that he should strip the hubs out:
He was careful about removing bearings and component parts... not because he intends reusing them but he figures any apparent damage may indicate deeper problems. Don't know whether he is right but I can't fault his reasoning!
Proper hub nut spanner and the hub nut looks fine by all accounts... he will still use a new one later though!
The hub is pretty well rusted and is reluctant to come off easily
Bearings looked ok... not too much play...
hub off... and the inside is just as rusted as the outside... spiders webs and all sorts!
Then it is off to the little welding hut in the garden for the building of some tool he has in mind...
weld it all together...
(the result of the practise weld he did before going on to the real thing... not perfect but not bad for a 12 year old!
Clean it up
And after all that it turned out he was making some brackets to hold a fence together for his mum! that bit weren't landy at all!
Skyving git. Still at least he weren't playing x-box like half his mates will have been!
