Try Goodwinch, I'm sure David will be able to help

Hi all, Fitting Megasquirt to a Rover V8 powered Westfield. Does anyone have a map we could pinch/borrow/steal for a 3.9EDS as we seem to be struggling. Thank you in advance

Should have drove that Mr W, at least you're saving on tyre wear

I has one but it only lasted one event. BOWROPE is what you want.

The MSA permit has arrived this morning, Will this be the first MSA challenge of the new year??? This will be a "hunt the punch" style event at Little Witley, Worcestershire (WR6 6LE), This is not a huge site but it does have a lot to offer. As its a MSA event you will need competition licenses' spill kits etc. Scrutineering opens at 8:00 followed by the team briefing at 9:30 and start time being 10:00. For more information please see : http://www.midwestoffroaders.co.uk/index.php?pr=Next_Event

Hi all, The Midwest offroaders are running a trial at West Malvern, Worcestershire this Sunday.This is open to anyone who is a member of an MSA affiliated off road club (please bring along a valid membership card) Scrutineering closes at 9:30 £20 entry fee For any further information and maps etc take a look at our website www.midwestoffroaders.co.uk Thanks Eddie

The only event I've seen that states a license is required is the XTC I'm assuming this is because of he speed sections. As Nigel states it's not in any 2010 literature. If this is the case then surely the MSA would have contacted all the clubs by now?? Eddie

This event has now been re-scheduled for the 7th February, See their website for further information. www.midwestoffroaders.co.uk Eddie

THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FEBRUARY Date to be confirmed

Temperature taken from the sump. www.digi-panel.com/digidevicesweb/trannyoil.htm

We use quite a large cooler (approx 10" square not sure how many rows) which is mounted behind the truck cab. I've fitted a fan but even with it fitted out of direct airflow I've had to blank of some of the surface area of the cooler because it wasn't even reaching operating temperature. Eddie

Motor & Deisel do an adapter plate but it's not cheap, Good conversion though beacuse you can use the V8 torque convertor which is bigger then the Tdi one.

Sorry, Yes it was a ZF from a RRC - didn't realise the oil was pumped both ways, All sorted now thanks for the info. Eddie

Hi Guys, Can you tell me which pipe from the gearbox is which, ( which one takes the hot oil to the cooler and which is the return) 1 pipe comes out of the side of the gearbox the other from the bottom, Also which one has the temperature warning lamp in it? Thanks Eddie

Cool (excuse the pun) Thanks for the info. Eddie

Does anybody know what the normal running temperature is for a 300TDI ? I've fitted a proper temperature gauge that actually shows the temperature and have also added an electric fan but not sure what temperture i should set the fan too?

Thanks for that but I'vr got a NON electronic pump and have just converted to AUTO, I habe the genuine brackets but can't seem to work out which way up/round it goes. Eddie

Would someone be kind enough to post a coupls of photos of a 300tdi injection pump with the kickdown cable brackets fitted. Thanks Eddie

Hi Jerry. I've had the same problem but had to plumb the gearbox oil cooler in too. Eddie

Hi Sofa, Good to "see" you on here...... Competition looks good. Ed

Cheers for the info guys better save a little more pocket money.

Devilbiss ( I think I've spelt that right) are the one's you need to look at, They're are the best even if they're a bit more expensive.

If your not going to fit original bushed go for genuine polybushes, I just fitted a set to me second vehicle I've used the blue comfort ones but kept the original rubber OE bushes for the shock absorbers.

Does it get enough airflow mounted on the bulkhead??
