    300tdi in a series 3 front prop

    Ah, I can still raise the engine at the moment (mounts are just tack welded) but not too sure how much difference that would make owing to the angle - suppose I could also raise the transfer case mounts slightly -

    300tdi in a series 3 front prop

    I thought the 300tdi would be okay too - some photos on google show a skinny prop but do not say where from... Could do a bit of sump bashing but the prop actually touches the corner of where the engine mount strengthening joins the engine bellhousing area. An extra thin prop from a specialist...

    300tdi in a series 3 front prop

    Hello I have the engine r380 gearbox and the series transfer case all nicely lined up but have just realised that the front prop will touch the corner of the sump.

    300tdi in a series 3 leveling

    Yes, that's what I've checked - spirit level on the chassis then on the rocker cover but was waiting for someone to say ah or but !! If this is correct then I'll go with the top of the front pulley level with the top of the front cross member.

    300tdi in a series 3 leveling

    After fiddling around most of the day trying to level up a 300tdi in a swb series 3 would a good guide be about level with the crankshaft pulley/front cross member. One of the images was taken at an angle but barring the odd mm the top of the pulley is level with the front cross member. The...

    transfer lever 5 speed conversion

    I purchased the Ashcroft kit a couple of years ago and have finally got round to assembling it. Using the existing transfer case chassis mounts together with an R380 gearbox. Perhaps someone could help with how/where you mount a bracket for the transfer case lever. A length of angle iron came...
