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...

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...

Thanks Chaps :)... all sorted and back up and running now. The"old" speedo drive was well and truly corroded in, as you said, 'Phill, so i had to take the output shaft off and knock it out with a punch. Thankfully the speedo drive in the "new" box came out much more easily and the handbrake...

Today ive removed the transfer box once again and tapped the butchered thread out to 7/16 UNF which seems to have worked nicely. Box is now back in again and bolted down solidly all round. Sadly, ive now found that the "new" box has an electronic speedo drive whereas my old box is mechanical...

Thanks. Ill drop the box out and do it properly.

After driving home last week with a lovely "crunchy bearing" noise coming from under my 1992 200tdi D90 and also getting home to find my handbrake was non existent, i decided to replace my transfer box. Today ive got the replacement used transfer box in place with the mounts back in but ive...

Thank you to everyone. Hopefully I’ve learnt something this weekend. Hicaphills trick has cured it. Boguings suggestion may well have worked also. Helper spring was fitted at the point of reassembly, but I suspect that would benefit from being replaced.

Slave nipple is on top, thank you for pointing that out. Thanks also for pointing out that Brittania video. Not sure who that man is, but hes very informative and entertaining while he's at it. What more can you ask for from a youtuber? Ill try again tomorrow with the nose pointing up hill and...

Thank you for that. I haven’t actually driven the car yet, but perhaps it will “bed in” as you describe. Reason the parts were renewed was that the rubber hose had deteriorated to the point that it was losing fluid and by the time I’d removed that hose I just decided to replace everything on...

Hi everyone. Just replaced the clutch hydraulics on my factory built LHD 200tdi D90 but i cant seem to get the pedal to spring back to its rest position without physically lifting the pedal up by hand. The master and slave cylinders have been replaced along with all three pipes that go between...

Sincere thanks. Electrics are not my strong point but the day we stop learning is the day we start dying.

Its an old LCD controller and the days of the week on it suggest that I can set the thing kick in when I want it to. I just couldn't work out how it knows what the temperature is. Ill work it out in the morning, im sure. Thanks for your help.

While you two were writing those very informative posts, I seem to have cracked it myself. The wiring is dead easy. Ive put the fat and the thin red wires together and put a 30 amp fuse on those, at the positive end of the battery. The brown wire speaks for itself and just goes to the negative...

Thanks for that. I watched it a few times but it assumes that your pump plugs straight into the loom, which in my case it does not. It is a useful video though. Ive got power to the control board and ive got the fan spinning but I cant get the pump to bleed at the moment. All it does is...

Thanks. Theres no relays on this and no fuses either. Has yours got any fuses in it? I think I can figure this out but im tempted to stick a 40 amp fuse on the fat red wire to the battery. What do you reckon? too much? too little?

if you mean the 2" square LCD screen with five rubber buttons on it. Yes. I did.

Hi everyone. Ive got a used Eberspacher D2 heater, probably from a Transit. The guy i bought it off did show me it working but ive completely forgotten how he wired it up for me. He had it going off a car battery with the pump drawing fuel from a 5l can, so I know its not rocket science to get...

Forget the battery drain idea, its not an issue. I was rushing last night, tired and drained after a very bad day and just hadnt noticed the car wasn't in "park" when I was turning the key. So the battery is fine. This morning, after reading 14.5 volts at the battery with the engine idling and...

Well. On Mark and DTs advice, Ive just gone out armed with my multimeter only to find that the battery is stone dead despite a 10 hour charge only yesterday and having the car running perfectly after that. Does anyone else thing the SRS issue and a battery parasite might be linked?
