Luckily Gates belts have a very simple numbering system, mines a 6207MC so I'll just get an 08, 09, 10 etc and return the ones I don't use to the supplier.

Cheers :)

so do halfords - the number of the belt is the length (in mm i think) and the letter is the style (V, flat , toothed etc.)
 
Sorted the belts out this morning, needed 25mm longer than stock.

Alternator works great, all 12 lights on tickover and no voltage drop!! :D

Also, tanks!!!

 
And now she's MOT'd and taxed!

Tester had a poke about, checked brakes emissions lights and was like 'well there's not much point jacking that up!' :p
 
Hardly any!

Been too busy working on the fecker!

Hoping to make Parkwood on the 14th and still a **** load to do!!

Might take it out for some lanes one evening next week to shake it down, depending on when I get it ready though!
 
Fingers crossed mate i'll have it together in time!

Im thinking about going along there with my stubby pipe on the exhaust, i wonder if they'll let me in?

Do these places have a noise limit or is it not something which usually features in the rule book?

I suppose 'road legal' should be sufficient regulation :/

They'll want to see:

MOT cert, V5, insurance, & valid drivers license...
 
Yeah yeah yeah I've got all that

But I'm wondering if I turn up with open exhaust they'll say it's too noisy :(
 
Noisy, do you know if a 200tdi dash will fit a 300tdi? or will mounts ec be different due to shape?

iv got an idea in my head and 200 tdi would be better dash..other wise il end up doing some custom jobby i think :S
 
also how good is the kit car heater as im looking at doing similar now that mines packed up...grr

pleanty of heat or just ample for a disco, also is it annoying having just the 1 speed...off and on lol
 
Will have to decide next week. It's quiet until you approach the throttle pedal...

Regards dash, it will fit, but I don't know how easily.

Anything can be done though right? 200 dash is FAR superior, in fact most 200 things are tbh.

Heater is good! I mean it's not a monster, but it provides warm air to keep the screen from frosting and it keeps the car warm enough even on very cold nights, but I'm a v8 at 82° thermostat and an immense amount of heat from the tunnel!

It was smaller than I expected when I got it, but it does work, and fits the 4 demister ports on the 200 dash perfectly as you can see from my pics last year.

Regards temp haha no it's no problem, in fact it's simple:

Too cold: heater on
Too warm: window open
Just right: none or both

Job done :D
 
whats this comfort you speak of..i just dont want to be shivering whilst driving lol..

hmm time for card to come out and play, may have had another idea for dash which involvces swapping out the centre console bit so no stereo or heter vents there, but who knows.
 
If you just need to take the freeze off, I'd say it's great, as long as your hot water supply is good

What temp does a Tdi run at??
 
Sooooo

A good old fashioned day in the shop working on the disco today, and not finished yet!!

Mounted the electric compressor, air locker solenoids and relay.



Mounted the tanks



And still wiring the switches in!
