    It only looks nice from a distance. When you get close you can see the scars and bumps, which is how I like it to be honest. I wouldn't want it with unmarked paint or without the odd bump/rust bubbling/ding as I want to use it for what it is designed for. Also it may just make it undesirable...

    I have been busy the last few weeks. I have finished the A bar and have some spot lights to fit to it, painted the steering guard, fitted new LED number plate, reverse and fog lamps, fitted some more security, tidied up some wiring and fitted a new O/S mud flap (the old one had been caught on...

    Ive removed the underside of the seat and there was nothing attached to it? The engine still has the EGR attached too so don't know where the ECU is for it?

    Do you mean from the pics showing the plugs on the gearbox? I wasn't sure if the previous owner had spliced something in there for the towing electrics? Should those plugs be present on a 300tdi?

    Great pics and timeline. Its a shame you cant fit a N57 and 8AT in it, now that would shift:) I have a 3 stage tuning box on mine and its pushing out 315 on the RR. (My BMW, not the LR, lol.)

    Yeah, I was not sure if there was any bias for power distribution?

    I have made some progress from my last update. I have sorted the reverse light, it was the reverse light that was corroded and I replaced it with a LED unit, which unfortunately seems to be made from brittle plastic, so it looks like I need to find a decent replacement unit. I have also...

    I’ve been very busy with work so not really touched prudy much. I have ordered some bits though so will hopefully get them sorted tomorrow. I’ve got a raptor dash and bracket coming as the old one is held on by about 2 screws, and some LED bulbs for the dash, so will see how that goes in. I...

    This is my progress so far on the A bar. All paint etc has been ordered and a reckon another hour or so getting it back to metal before the red oxide goes on. I also have an EGR blanking kit, but I am kinda confused as to if I just remove it and fit the kit, or if I have to do anything else...

    Its been a busy few days for me with work and getting out to do a bit of stalking. The stalking was on Sunday during the worst of the weather, and I am pleased to say Prudy didn't miss a beat. Ive been given an A bar which is a little rusty, so thats another job to get that stripped down to...

    Success, I removed the washer jet, washed it through under the tap, then used a can of pressurised air and tested it, both nozzles now work, yay:):D I also checked the splines of the rear wiper and they don't look too bad so maybe I will get away with just being able to fit an arm and wiper...

    Thanks everyone, sorry for the late replies, I work shifts at various times, finished at 0700 this morning and working again tonight too. They kinda mess up my time for anything so it means I fit things in as and when. I agree it does sound more like the pipe that are leaking, and if the...

    The journey begins.

    I collected my 1998 300tdi 110 on Sunday evening, and been busy at work ever since. On the drive back I noticed a few things that need sorting, and already knew about a few other things from the test drive. I thought I would start a thread, then as and when Prudy (not my choice of name, but...

    Where do I start?

    Thanks. It already has an immobiliser and a pedal box so hopefully that will do for now. I am looking forward to getting my hands dirty.:)

    Yeah, I am sure it will be steep and long, with a few skinned knuckles, headaches and wallet emptying experiences along the way.:rolleyes:
