Hi folks - one of the main looms I have is AMR4081, which I'm trying to decode to consider, what, if anything, needs to be modified for my 1989/300tdi rebuild. It's official title is "HARNESS MAIN; 2.5L 4 CYL TDI L/R LESS IMMOBILISATION WITH HIGH LINE" Does anyone know what 'high line' is please?

I haven't decided what to do about the servo and MC, but have been fitting various odds and ends, such as the handbrake, while I wait patiently for the front end to be painted. I've also spoken with a neighbour about how invasive the MVI is, and the good news is that they're not allowed to dig...

Thanks - the differences between the 90 and 110 perhaps warrant different consideration. I'm not seeing any examples of 110s with the earlier MC and servo setup, so I guess my question is probably more directed at converted 110s. We know that drums require more fluid volume than calipers...

Thanks - I'm assuming you kept the G Valve, being a 90?

The vehicle: 1989 110 with Salisbury rear axle (being rebuilt). I have converted the drums to discs. I have two new servos (the original was ditched years ago). One servo is the smaller type 50 (STC2878/NRC4775); this fits onto my original pedal box (NRC6058). The other servo is larger...

So the uncertainty over the brake setup continues: I have two new servos - one is the smaller type 50 (probably STC2878, which corresponds to NRC4775); this fits onto my original pedal box (probably NRC6058). The other is larger (LR013488 / STC441) and does not fit onto the pedal box, the holes...

Yes, there are two places in the Nova Scotia regs that expressly prohibit copper brake lines, including the MVI requirements. One part of the regs also prohibits any brake line material that isn't spec'd by the manufacturer. I read a local thread from a couple of years ago about this too, so...

Nice work, and thanks for sharing!

So it turns out that some bright spark in the province's department of transport has decided that copper brake lines are a no-no, unless fitted as standard by the manufacturer, and it can be proven. Looks like I'll have to make them out of steel or buy new ones. FFS. I'd be running a reasonable...

Near Halifax, Nova Scotia :)

Jesus, Ian - you've been cracking on exceedingly well since I last read your thread! Loving your work! Will almost certainly pinch some of your ideas for the sound-proofing; what did you use inside the seatbox?

The new plugs have been in for a few days now, along with the coolant, and all is well! No leaks! Hurrah! The manifolds, turbo etc are back in place too, and I'm tempted to start the engine as it's been quite some time before it last ran. The new ignition barrel is in, as are the new stalks...

I can imagine! Even though it was a beautiful 15C here two days ago, it's now snowing, so I will probably refill the coolant today. The sealant has had nearly 48 hours to set, so should be good (crosses fingers).

Bugger. I went round with my finger a couple of minutes after installing them. Fortunately I've got another 15 arriving from Britcar in a few days.

The core plugs have been giving me lots of grief - have fitted several now, with leaks upon filling each time. Hoping my problem was recessing them in a little too far, and/or not getting them in square, which we know is the usual issue. Fitted another set yesterday, having removed the...

They are a concern, hence a safe with 9mm is on the list!

Thanks! Do you have spacers? I think you're right - I'll wait until the B posts are sorted before fixing everything down - have a feeling it's not going to be straightforward!

Thank you! What should be level on the seatbox (i.e. where the seatbox attaches to the sill) isn't, so am thinking the supporting mounts on the chassis are too low and I'll need to either cut and weld higher, or add a big spacer of some sort.

Grazie!

Thanks - would you say there's an inch or so clearance?
