you could try welding a washer over the bits left then a bolt onto that combination of extra weld area and heat often works............ or blood, sweat n tears?

weel i guess all i can say is were all entiltled to our opinion and i think the 300tdi is a far superior engine. It appears i may have slightly underestimated Les's experience but he was giving it a good slating it appeared to me so thought i'd stick up for the 300tdi. I seem to have got him grossly wrong and my apolgies to Les. But u have to admit it did make for interesting topic to read, and granted a very sore mouth for me!! B)

I have to say i think u either need to get a good mechanic or learn some skills mate, i've owned a 300tdi for best part of 10years, done about 100,000 miles in it, seriously abuse it offroad (run two hydrualic winches fom it) and never had half the problems u had. I could list several easy cures to half the problems u've listed but it sounds like u wouldn't listen anyway!! Al li can say is, either one which ever comes up at right price and fits the best. Wouldn't mind recommending a 300tdi to anyone mines been sounds, yeah had problems but nothing that can't be easily sorted! Mike

i'm thinking same as above about why u'd want to, but in short i suspect you'd find it'd kill a 200tdi cuz its has the wrong torque patterns for a dual mass. Let me know if u do fit it what its like, be interesting to know!

hi I wish i had known about these saley winches 12 months ago, before i bought two type r milemarker winches........ they're okay and thats about it. what really piddles me off is i can't engage hi gear or free spool without being ontop winch!! Wondered if anyone knew of a system or parts to do it with! Is there a website for these saley winches cuz i might be tempted to buy two of them instead of these darn type r's!! Mike
