    Galvanised Chassis VIN number questions.

    Fantastic. For some reason i had it in my head that you had to call VOSA out show them the chopped up old chassis etc, but im ever over thinking stuff, so this is no different. Any idea what make that chassis is? Are there any manufacturers to avoid?

    Galvanised Chassis VIN number questions.

    Hypothetically speaking of course, would that mean just stamping my VIN number into the new chassis and just getting on with life? All I recognise on this chassis is that the rails are made from four flat sections and welded where they meet at the corners, rather than the C sections of the...

    Galvanised Chassis VIN number questions.

    Hi Everyone. Just been offered a galvanised chassis that appear that it would suit my 200tdi 90. Its from a non started project though, so we're not sure if there is any paperwork or anything to come with it and we're not sure who made it either. If I build my car on to a chassis like that...

    1997 P38A DT Overheating

    Cheers DT. Info received. The fan is certainly harder to stop when the car has warmed up but I can still stop it if I want to. What's the replacement for the crank pulley? I guess that's a damper that fails... Is there a rigid one available? I put one of those on my Cooper S and that goes...

    1997 P38A DT Overheating

    1997 P38A DT Overheating

    Just had a look at it this morning and my findings so far are thus: No visible coolant leaks with engine off. One weep between rubber hose and (aluminium?) pipe where heater pipes pass through bulkhead and significant staining of coolant on camshaft cover immediately adjacent to those heater...

    1997 P38A DT Overheating

    Viscous fan was replaced this time last year. Can't remember what make off the top of my head but I know I had the choice of a Sh*tpart one for £40 or this one for nearly £200.... So I had the dear one. I know when I've had cracked head before (twice now 🙄) they tend to just pressurize the...

    1997 P38A DT Overheating

    I seem to remember putting a good quality WP on it... probably Quinton Hazell knowing me.... but that was about 2015... The coolant was coming out through the expansion tank.

    1997 P38A DT Overheating

    Hi everyone and happy new year, if we're still doing that. About a week ago I was driving the P38a Diesel around all day long and then had to go on a run up north in it. I got about as far as Derby, which is and hour and half from home when I stopped for a coffee. Coming back out of the...

    Can anyone identify what these chassis' are, please?

    Is the lower chassis in the first photo a 200tdi chassis or is it too hard to tell? It looks like it has a different rear cross member to the one thats on top of it.

    Can anyone identify what these chassis' are, please?

    Thats exactly what I think, if i bothered to look i bet id find more rot further along the chassis anyway. I know I spotted a hole in a front spring bracket when I was changing a brake hose earlier this year, so that wont be the last of it....

    Can anyone identify what these chassis' are, please?

    Wow. I knew you fellas would be able to identify it. ive noticed a crack appearing around my rear crossmember on my 92' 200tdi 90. I could get away with just welding a new rear crossmember on, but theres a part of me that just says "fit and forget" a whole new chassis. These just looked a...

    Can anyone identify what these chassis' are, please?

    There are some Galv' 90 chassis' for sale on ebay: 184457797007 but they are advertised as a NAS chassis' which will take a 200tdi engine.... but as far as I knew NAS' 90's were V8s so they had different engine mounts to the TDi engines and NAS chassis' had a different rear cross member and...
