I've also got one of the heavy duty Dixon Fabrication one's waiting to fit. I bought it with the separate chassis extensions, which pivot via a bolt through the back of the cross member to allow correct alignment.

I've only used Mintex once. They squealed so badly that I replaced them after 200 miles with genuine LR pads. Only Ferodo or LR for me since then.

I wouldn't have thought that the 300Tdi wiring harness would be that different to a 200Tdi, which iirc Autosparks do. At least it would be a good start.

Also as a reminder, never undo a drain plug until you have removed the corresponding filler plug first!
The drain plug can be fun to remove with a socket as access is a bit tight between the gearbox and prop flange.

I used NTC9236 on my conversion, with the original steering damper. Surely you need to use an OME Defender damper as it goes in the current position?

As luck would have it (except for me of course) I'm currently replacing footwells so have taken a few photos for you. Let me know if there is anything specific you want, though it will probably be tomorrow before I get another chance.

I'd have thought the cable was more likely to be worn than the motor. I don't know if it's possible, but can the cable connector in the starter motor not be flipped over so it uses the unworn side?
