Hi Huey, Sorry to hear about your issues. The second two chassis that Shielder sent had, amongst a few other issues, the engine mounts in the wrong position. Shielder did report b@ck and confirm that a batch of chassis had the mounts wrong, due to their welding jig being wrong. When I asked if...

It’s been a while since I posted, but just thought I’d update for any people thinking of by from Shielderchassis. I am still awaiting a refund and am currently starting court action to recover costs. Ordered a new chassis from Richards, which will hopefully turn up in a few weeks. Had a total of...

Hi, thought I would give an update, just for any people contemplating a chassis change and where to buy from. Received chassis number 3 from Shielderchassis this afternoon. I have yet to contact them, but initial viewing of chassis not good. The engine mounts are in the same position as first...

Hi Mick1986, thanks for your reply. I have to agree with you, but not sure if I am too far commited as a company is doing the work for me, I unfortunately supplied the chassis for them. When you say the back end is the same as your Marshland chassis, would that be TD5 or TDI? I am still puzzled...

Hi, The old a new chassis shown. The engine mounts on the new chassis are the same as those on the old one, so this would indicate TDI? going on the pictures in previous post, however mounting brackets and rear end are different on both. This is the foul I currently get on the engine to power...

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I have attached some pictures below. An aspect that concerns me, is that the chassis manufacturer has now confirmed that they have sent a TD5, however the engine mounts appear to be as shown in the TDI post above. Hopefully receive another chassis next week.

Hi, Thanks for the reply and pictures. Having no looked at the pictures above, I do have engine mounts that are below the chassis level, which would indicate that I do possibly have a 300 td5 chassis. That being the case, is there any simple way xplaination as to the fuel tank foul and the fact...

Yes, it was shielded, but in their defence, they have sent a replacement chassis, but I still have fouling issues. A local dealer insists that it is a td5 chassis that shielded have sent twice. Unfortunately, I do not have my old chassis to take measurements as the workshop have scrapped it.

hi, New to the forum, but wondering if anybody in the forum can offer some advice. Recently purchased a new galvanised chassis for my 300 tai 110 CSW. The chassis when we started the build, fouled with the fuel tank filler and also, when the engine was fitted, it fouled with the power steering...
