I managed today to source an adaptor plate, so thats sorted ;) also just won a trackman top for it. Ace!

Nice and flush right in the centre.... And rounded off round the edge so the drill will be wanting to drift out ... care needed!

actually i could just braze on the end bit of a td5 oil feed....

well what an utter **** it was to get the turbo separated. Sheared off 3 of the 4 bolts holding it together... going to be ace drilling those out. Also discovered that the turbo cartridge oil feed pipework connection is different... doh... Its got the more standard 2 little m8 bolts holding it...

come on.. how much...

now now, this rebuild is just temporary, I want a VNT or a hybrid. Just want to get it usable again, the wifes driving it at the mo and people keep moaning about the amount of smoke its putting out (lots)

yup - from turbotechnics cheapest rebuilt 200tdi turbo on tinterweb I could find was £600!

yeah that's been replaced.Its not a "no boost problem" The impellor shaft is quite stiff to turn (it shouldn't be) Its fooked!

ive a truckman cab needs picking up from there....

ah that most busy of courier routes... :)

aye' I replaced them with 5 ply silicone ones too...ready for an upgrade ;) The noise being emitted isn't a "im a flappy hose with a split" its more a "my thrust bearing is proper fooked" noise not helped by me having up the boost.... quite a bit.... ahem.

Im flogging the rx8 seats that I had installed in my 130. They are leather and heated, and come with custom made backets so they literally bolts straight into the existing mounting points with no mucking about. Ive never managed to get the drivers seat moving back and forth (its electric)...

They are blooming brilliant cars. We had been considering selling it, but its just so good! and fixable.... watts linkage pivot arrived today, so will replace that at the weekend. As its got a leaking FPR, would this constitute an mot failure? or just an advisory? It dribbles a teeny weeny...

Well having had the 3 amigo on since i bought it, a change of the rear abs sensor has since sorted it. Id been putting it off, thinking it was gong to be harder than it really was. 20 minutes though and the job was done. I could well imagine it would be more fiddly if everything as seized up...
