    Rattler's 90 Chassis Swap

    Has an insurance assessor inspected it yet ? It was not a good idea to start stripping it down as you don't know what the insurance co decide to do.

    Bio Diesel

    Turning veg into bio is simple, making it suitable it run in an engine long term is a totally different thing. Mr everlatesparky is right to flag this video up as being some of the worst into about biodiesel on the web.

    Boost pin

    Check that the pin inside the injection pump (the one that sits against the boost pin) is free moving, they sometimes seize up and need freeing up. Also check there are no holes in the pipe from the turbo to the boost actuator (flying saucer on top of the pump).

    Help needed for very good friend with a 90....

    My mate has recamended this guy. Simon Fitton, Lanro engineering, 01579 348926 if you want to ring him. Primarily he builds 300Tdi and TD5 defenders on brand new galvanised chassis to sell on but would no doubt do a chassis swap. He is also pretty good at welding too.
