Hi all. I have a 1997/98 300tdi 110 csw. I've had her for about two years or so now and have steadily been working my way around required jobs. I've posted a few questions but don't feel I know enough to answer any thing yet.
My chassis is okish although the body mount is completely shot and there have been various patches to the rear x member and front outriggers at some point. It's a little tatty to be honest. I've managed to source a new chassis and have a few questions. I've trawled the other threads first and couldn't find the answers.
It was apparently bought unused from the mod a few years ago and then galved. It looks pretty good to be honest with no visible signs of work done. It is apparently the heavy duty mod version. Not sure how to confirm that though. It doesn't have a chassis number on the dumb iron either although some suppliers don't stamp them anyway apparently according to the interweb thingy.
All points on it seem identical to mine with the exception of the 4 body mount tabs on the back of mine not existing on the new one. The other difference which confirms it as military is the large hole in the rear x member on the new one. I have pics if it helps anyone.
Any thoughts or suggestions. The price is good enough to make it a worthwhile exercise.
Many thanks to anybody that has managed to stay awake this far
