Long story short - have changed the clutch, was going to do it the engine out way so disconnected everything to get it out but in the end took the box out. Anyway its all back together and it wont start. Diagnosed a dead lift pump, change it along with new injector pipes and leak off rail but...

PMSL, where did it say that ????? compression is far more important on a diesel engine so dont you think if this was a problem it wouldnt really be much use in a diesel engine either ;)

Doesnt matter, Diesel oils just have more detergents in them :)

And here it is fitted :D just need to wire the gauges in now.

Just done mine as they had made a mess all round the injectors :( I cheated though and bought a whole new rail :D

Yer it doesnt look like a cheap bit of kit.

Where did you get your roof rack from mate, i really like that. Much better than the large box like ones you see.

Made some progress over the weekend, new rear seal, new spigot, new flywheel and new clutch all fitted. Gearbox and transfer box back on along with the props. Few bits need doing in the engine bay along with a new slave and brainded line and we should be good to go :D Got Wales in 2 weeks so...

My advice would be to stick the solenoid box in the engine bay and not on top of the winch :)

I guess thats a no then :D

Has anyone ditched the clutch damper and just ran a braided hose from the master to slave cylinder for an improved pedal feel. If so where did you get it from as i cant see to find any. Otherwise I will just pop into a local hydraulics place and get them to knock me one up.

So i ordered this UQB000130 - Clutch Plate Heavy Duty 200/300TDI 130 shows a Valeo disc, it turns up and its exactly the same as the britpart one i have inc in the same box lol. So i now either have 2 Valeo discs or 2 crap ones.

Yer i think its there more for desert applications and maybe towing.

Nothing major. Fitting my gauge senders so have modified an oil filter housing so the senders go where the oil cooler pipes are. I will be binning the cooler (might change the rad to an alloy one at some stage) Also fitting the water temp sender to the thermo housing so would need to drain the...

Technically its not that difficult, its just undoing nuts and bolts. I didnt fancy benching the transmission so have opted for taking the engine out. More time consuming but less hassle IMO. I know you can do it with an engine crane through the drivers door and using it to hoist the trans up and...

Yer ok, i chickened out :D just ordered a valeo disc and AP plate.

Its bloody confusing. Looking an Britcar it lists Pattern, Valeo and AP clutches all in Britpart boxes lol. Will have another look when i get home tonight and make a decision.

Actually I have just looked at the photos of a genuine Valeo friction plate and its identical to what i have, the pattern ones look a little pony so am fairly confident its a decent one.

Oh FFS you have me worried now :( i can get an AP one for about £80 so might order one then and punt the britpart one on. Someone said they were Valeo ones in Britpart boxes but there are no markings on it.

Do you have cranked rear arms? I found mine did this after i fitted some so swapped the prop for a 200tdi one.
