the milage on td5 is about 80 000 kms
and the tdi about 111 000 kms
there was no sign of leaks on tdi but the td5 was dripping from the bell housing
dont put a cheap slave cylinder on or you will be doing it again soon

hi

hi
just a update they are standard springs
the inner springs dont move it is the outer springs that always move off to 1 side
looked at dislocation cones but no good as it has got inner springs
hi guys
has any 1 got any ideas on stopping my rear springs from popping out of their seats
it is a 110 with the double springs 1 inside the other
when i go on rough tracks the rear outer springs pop out of their seats at the top
and i have to either jack the car up to put back in place or get the crow bar to it
is there a way of clamping them in place
thanks in advance

hi todd
im glad your happy with it
i am thinking of buying a light weight and converting it and so far it looks like it is do able
but knowing my luck i will hit a major problem but if it goes ok it will be a nice toy
hi guys
is it a easy job to convert a 1978 series 3 light weight to a 300 tdi
ie will the tdi mount up to the series gearbox if not what is needed
thanks in advance
brian
hi
yes hes best off looking for a 200 or 300 as the td is a old motor and quite under powered
i took mine out and replaced it with a 300 best thing i ever did

hi

mine has got a power cut off switch under the battery shelf that cuts all the power to the truck
and quite robust too
