Well went today and collected ma new toy!

1998 300tdi 110 CSW 113k on the clock wea tidy bodywork!

Drove back up north sitting at 70 happy.

First job is to replace the windscreen seal as its seen better days.

Change the calm belt.

Investigate the oil leak rear of engine:mad: hope this is something simple as i,ll be one ****ed off lad if its big job!

Investigate the rattle/nocking taking up drive in 1st 2nd 3rd, hopefully just prop needs servicing and maybe balancing, but something says this could be more......time to search the internet fur answers!:(

Oh and EGR removal as it sluggish comparred to the 90 beasty!

Allready have fresh oil outside the pad!:rolleyes:

It was from a dealer MRM folk have said beware but i found mat to be sound and nothing that folk had said he was like.

That said we,ll see what the next month of owning the wagon will be like, and if any major issues appear!

Cheers Daz took the plunge and upsized,:D may ask for some advice from good self with regrds to the engine, need to source this leak it aint major but it,ll fu£k me right off till i find it. And as your recent tinkering with your 2 engines you may be the man in the know lol

90 looks sad parked next to her :D

Thats why i'm always on here good crac and loads of good advice. Some body yesterday pointed me Lancasters direction for insurance and they gave me a top deal.

But i,ll refrain from bringing up any wheel/tyre thread as i know how much that gets the blood flowing on here :violent:

Be careful of Lancaster, I had an issue where they sold me a policy which turned out to be classic car and as such didn't accrue no claims -was not mentioned anywhere apart from on policy document when it eventually arrived and said no claims: NA. I'm glad I rang up to question it. Oh, and they got the reg number wrong too ;) . ended up cancelling after a few other issues with them, and got full refund too as they'd cocked up, i'd recommend reading all the stuff they send you very carefully while you're in your cancellation period still.

110 looks ace though ;)
 
Thats one tidy looking wagon mate!! I paid 3k for a 95 110 CSW two years ago.

The list is too long on what I've done but crossmember and gearbox rebuilt for starters.

Leak at rear of engine (End where bulkhead is) can be the cyclone breather as the pipe goes round the back to link in with the turbo air inlet pipe.

The oil leak can be shed loads of things, need to get the covies on when i,m quiet and investigate.....but i need to sort ma 90 out first!:(

even considering swaping engines at the moment wea the 90 but i am still ****ed!
:rolleyes:
 
That looks proper smart- Enjoy !

Rear oil leak will be the crank shaft oil seal, not worth the bother to fix unless you take the box off to change clutch etc.....

Paintwork looks good, recent respray?

Yeah looks fairly recent or i think its been machine buffed, i weary though that the paint and body work is mint and its masking issues. Drove her last week and she was mint but yesterday was a treck and some is niggling me. As is i say i,ll get her on the summers and have a good dig round the engine gearbox......still thinking 90 engine is geting swapped!.....but i,m still drunk.:p
