    What do you mdan by oiler? The engine as a whole? Im not masavly fussed as to what goes into it tbh. I quits like the td5 thats in it if it wasnt for some steep hills. The main draw to the vw/audi powerlant is that its there sitting at my dads and free. Theres also some advantage to it...

    Doing the un-thinkable

    I thaught that's what was meant. Dad and I were discussing this on our way to work very very early this morning and it is probably what we would do. Make sure it runs as a standalone engine first. We then got onto gale banks and his killi g a duramax series and how they must have a way to...

    Ifs currently got a td5 that's actually in perfect working order. This all started by dad and I finding an old Land rover on an estate we are mou ding on. He was going to buy it and pull the engine as a spare if it ran. But by the time we rememberd to speak to the office they'd already...
