Sorted it tonight the wastegate was stuck shut. pulls like a train.

I was given a nearly new faultless intercooler from a 16 tonne excavator. I am converting my 90 to 200tdi from a disco at the moment and was thinking about using the rather large intercooler. I purely use the 90 for off road at low speed. My thoughts were that the intercooler i have may be good...

nobody likes a smart arse just trying to giv advice from my experience and not baffle with science

I would definatly reccomend mig too. As you have to weld on the flat with arc and find it hard to tack things and weld thin tin. A novice would pick up how to use a mig very quickly. I bought a mig from machine mart for about £200 and was well worth it. They pay for themselves by the money you...

i am thinking down the same kind of lines and have been advised to use the shocker drop mounts to give an extra 2" articulation. you can get these off ebay for about £90 for front and rear
