Fully understand that Mick and appreciate I was describing a perfect situation - and life's not generally like that! The bloody annoying thing too is that galv chassis have just about doubled in price since I did mine and that was not too many years ago. :( Top tip - don't take your gearbox...

Is the rest of your chassis absolutely solid? I replaced my rear cross member, but a few shor years later ended up replacing the lot. I would have been better of putting the money towards a whole chassis. Presumably you've given yours a good going over with a hammer?

So when the battery is isolated by a switch the noise starts up? Where is the noise coming from? Engine bay under the bonnet, in the dash behind instrument binnacle. Do you have any speakers and a sound system in the Landy?

I'm suspecting the OP has taken his live feed from the sound system somewhere. So, feedback from the EGT sensor thermocouple is playing down the speaker wires.

What is actually making the noise? Droning from speakers would suggest electro-magnetic interference.

Glad you got it sorted :cool:

Nah, you need to pay more attention Lynall :) I fitted one to mine after I rebuilt the engine. Mine is the standard tube to the air inlet manifold, never get a FSD. Easiest way to get max boost from the turbo is going up hill with my foot to the floor. (That's not an FSD though)

You're not giving much away, but presumably you've bought a digital pressure sensor and you've wired it up incorrectly, giving the equivalent of a FSD.

The best possible result. Well done.

Have you tried flushing the rad to make sure it's not blocked with crud?

No the wonder you couldn't find it. Well done Mick, very satisfying sorting that out :cool:

It would be quality, lead paint back then though Col :):eek:

You want forced air mask for 2K, not a dust mask. Your lungs don't take kindly too it. Worth reading up on it.

Asking questions when you're stuck is what forums are really for, so don't be worried about asking. Hope it goes well, but keep us informed of your progress.

I do it my feel too, to be honest. :) A couple of years since I did my mates 60 plate. I just remember how much easier it was.

Presumably the TD5 is the same as the Puma? My mate has a 60 plate and his has the stake nut. Very easy to do because you just tighten to the required torque and then tap the nut flange over. No tightening to required torque, turning back 1/4 turn, exposing your right shin and left breast carry...

Many of us on the forum have done rebuilds or chassis swaps, so there's no need to panic. You can get help with every nut and bolt if needed. What's the hurry with getting it done? If you have the time (took me over two years, but that was only working on my drive when weather permitted) I'd...

Yes, the exposure to salt water is a big worry. If you're not sure of the 110's corrosion points, then get someone who does to have a look at it for you.

Yep, it's got darker here now (camping in Germany) and I can see the spring in the second picture. That should be the other way around.

I can't see the seal spring in your pictures, meego. It's a while since I've done mine, but pretty sure that's ok.
