I've just done the conversion, all the color coded wires match up. The only ones you really need on the new engine going into the old engine bay are from the alternator, water temp, oil pressure, glow plugs and stop solenoid. There were a bunch of others for the air con pump, and electronic fuel pump (the engine was from a discovery) which i just took off because they are not needed. I spliced the cables with heat shrink rather then buy connectors, no problems yet.

does anyone have the part number for the banjo bolt for a 300tdi power steering pump. on the earlier pump (2.5td) it came with the pump but looking at pictures of new 300tdi pumps its not there so I'm assuming it must be a separate part

as above what methods do you use for removing stuck on gaskets? or does it just come down to carefully scraping with a sharp stanley balde as i am doing at the moment?

its not gloss black, i use the Red oxide paint from screwfix, found it to be very tough and cheap too Screwfix then waxoil the hell out of it. being red underneath its easy to see when the wayoil rubs off

Sorry if this has been covered before. I did do a search but turned up nothing useful. Can anyone point me in the direction of a bulkhead supplier, preferably galvanised, may as well do the job properly. Or is it just a case of resorting to the bay-of-E

after a bit of digging around, it seems our friends from the land down under have been have similar disscusions aulro hydro pto discussion it appears since maxidrive shut down a company in Brisbane called M R Automotive (no its not as catchy ) took over production M R Automotive

This might be a bit of a noddy question, but are either of the two clutchs on the site below a straight bolt on for the LT230 PTO? is the LT230 PTO designed to a standard (ISo or whaterver) so you can go to a supplier and say i need a clutch to fit this? or is it a Solihull special? if it makes any differance its an LT230 on a 1988 2.5TD 90

Hi All, As above im trying to get a rear suspension A-frame from weston super mare to Yateley in north hampshire Is anyone travelling that way in the next couple of weeks? Will gladly reimburse any extra fuel etc with beer tokens Cheers Adam

yea, mine smokes too, still going strong at 133000 though so im not overly worried my mates have started calling the truck Ozone after its smoking habit on startup, their not the most creative bunch

Excuse the highjack, but can anyone suggest a cheap alternative to the rather pricey silicone hoses for plumbing in intercoolers? I have one sat in the garage just need to fit it Cheers Adam

As above the merc sprinter intercoolers are good, the one i have seems to be the same size as the radiator I just need to get round to fitting it

Hi all, hope someone might be able to help. Ive just recived new rear upper link (a-frame) bushes P/N ANR4164 Problem is the bolt I took out the old ones was a 19mm bolt and these new bushs have a 16mm central hole. Can anyone advise what the correct size bolt? and if it is the 19mm then the correct P/N for the bush i need. It may be it is the wrong bolt, the previous owner seems to have been a bit of a bodger, i have found a few things that have worried me as ive been taking it apart. Thanks in advance Adam

Well as usual a small job snow balls, but the short story is yes theve rusted away Cheers for that number Adam
