Thanks :) Yes, I'm almost certain I've not got much more to spend now, until Chassis time in a couple of years + ;) I am going to buy a couple of nice to have's for Xmas which is a Single DIN Flip Up / Out Screen Erisin Android Head Unit, and some decent Speakers, plus I can add TPMS and...

Members Vehicles / Projects section is a mess now with all those help threads :(

Here's the update from this w/e, the hard part of adding the extra wire through about 2m of Engine Loom that snakes it's way around the Engines bowels is now completed, and along the way I tidied up a few more "Mookie" bodge rectifications and also found a misaligned Heater Hose that has chafed...

I finally got started on stripping out D15KOE's Engine Loom to add the extra wire for the 15P AAP / IAT Sensor, which is a prior requirement before swapping in the 15P NNN ECU, pleased to report I only snapped one bolt getting the Battery Box outta the way, and that should come out with the old...

So after last weekend off for a family wedding, on Monday I was just getting back into some work, so I fixed another D15KOE small issue ............... The Blind Catches Hook on my passenger side front Sunroof Blind was broken, I doubt you can buy these separately, but anyway, Roddy kindly...

Looking really nice now :)

Thanks, yes that's kinda my plan ;) I've already done some digging, the TD5 runs on approx 4 Bar supply to the FPR on Cylinder Head, and a helluva lot of more modern CDI's have a single stage in tank pump that supplies the same ~ 4 bar. I don't think it's rocket science ;)

I now have a "spares" Auto Discovery 2, (basically it is fairly complete just minus Engine, a few Windows and Interior), I'm going to remove the Tank and then examine the Fuel Tank Pump / Sender unit to see if it will be straightforward enough to use a 4 Bar "in tank" Pump, and that way I can...

So .... 10P :- 15P :- .... I now see why the Filter was mounted at the rear :( Basically one would need to run 4 pipes front to rear to relocate it. I agree with you, too much pain to relocate the existing system, but IMHO the whole chebang leaves a lot to be desired for various...

All I can say is Mercedes and every other diesel vehicle I work on has an electric Lift Pump in the Fuel Tank and a water trap Filter and most of these are mounted in the Engine bay ;) Agreed it would require new Fuel lines, but I'm prepared to do that when I get to new Chassis time ;) Just...

I've actually been wondering lately why we couldn't just relocate the Filter and Housing in the Engine bay, (whether there is any good reason), I can't think of one ;)

Yep, sounds well :D ......................... Personally in this wokeist snowflake society I'd fit silencers to it, can have a lot more fun in a lot more places when these sort of toys don't draw attention to where you are and what your doing ;) Don't get me wrong, I am a die hard petrol head...

I think the way to do the Video is to put it on You Tube and post the URL (link), works on other Forums, lets try it lol .... Like this one of my V8 SLK launch to the ton .... Yes, that's it that works here too ;)

Double post :(

Have you had it running yet ?:)

A straight through type Resonator addition is a great mod to a Silencer Delete Pipe ........................... Exhaust no longer has the droning noise, but there is another upside .................... The D2 now feels like it pulls better, it does not feel like it is doing 80mph, last night I...

D15KOE has now surpassed himself :):):) Very happy bunny here :D I left early yesterday morning for a 220 mile round trip to the NE Highlands, this is his furthest round trip yet, and then Mel and I went out in him last night, another 50 odd mile round trip all good and in some foul weather /...

Thanks for the replies guys :) OK, here's some pics of all the D15KOE efforts over the last wee while ................... Chassis welding right rear inner side 16 gauge plate .... Chassis Welding right rear underside, 3mm plate .... Chassis Welding inside right rear Outrigger 16 Gauge...

The guy with the 2011 L322 booked in today rolled up late at 11:30 am, by which time I was under D15KOE doing some more welding ;) He's not in a mega hurry so I told him I'd get tuit tomorrow, does anyone think he'd notice if I swapped my TD5 Engine for the TDV8 in his RR :D I am now down as...
