Wanted 200TDi exhaust manifold - with or without turbo prefer disco one but would consider defender one reply via PM please

finished welding on the new rear cross member tonight

finished the engine mounts today - ive posted a video for anyone thats interested as its easier to get than a picture - i couldn't get the o/s on the original mount so i made a bracket to relocate it not the neatest job but it should do for now i've had to remove the turbo to get the engine...

got the engine all bolted up today - had to cut off the 2 brackets for the tdi mount supports but as i can't use those mounts it doesnt really matter i have yet to make the mounts - the o/s looks very tight to get it on the original chassis mount but i'll have a go also ive had to remove the...

I have seen one for sale for £35k i think it was on car & classic, and i don't care, as Bob Marley once said "money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end" - i don't have long left on this earth, i would like to build a 300TDi...

split the gearbox and removed the 6 cyl bellhousing today - all looks good so far, but i'm waiting for the new seals and gaskets to arrive before i assemble it back up also as i was told the clutch plate from the 6 cyl fits into the 300tdi - even managed to use the gearbox input shaft as a...

if you are interested drop me a pm i could hold onto it for 6 months
