Good Morning has some of you may know i am undergoing a project of fitting a 2004 TD5 body to my old and trustworthy 200tdi chassis and engine(and all mechanic) all runs well until i reached the final strewth of the project. and i need some insight from anyone with a opinion so... to the issue in hand: BRAKES: what i have done: i have "salvaged" the master cylinder from the TD5 - the one from the 200tdi was bust... and bought a new pump and reservoir (200tdi) in order to keep all my brake lines. the issue: system all bleed: 1- fill the reservoir 2-pump pedal - no pressure at all- a few times 3-open nipple on caliper 4- close nipple on caliper 5-back to point 1 i have repeated this for HOURS and no result .. the brakes only kinda brake on the end of the travel of the pedal, but no real stopping power Engine Shut off: plain and simple .. car running .. i turn the key... engine keeps running ... Best Regards PS: will do full presentation of project as soon as i can get the pictures of camera on the PC :D ( an all different problem hehehe)

Good Morning ! i am a on going project that consists in fitting a TD5 Discovery Body, into a full chassis 200tdi (engine, gearbox etc). everything was going 100% sucess, but now we arrive at the part of putting every dial and light on the td5 dashboard to work. i have been reading this forum for a few days, and since i am nothing like a full grown mecanic or eletrician , can someone make a small explication on what i have to do ? i have kepted all the wiring lom from the TD5 and want to connect all the "old" components from the 200tdi to this loom all the bit and pieces of the 200tdi are avaiable off course i had the 2 full cars (exept td5 mecanic part)
