cool, that's that solved then!

I will endeavour to do this upon my return frommanchester to see the mighty Oasis. PM me your address and I will pop that bypass valve i promised a while back in the post tomorrow.

Some pictures just to add to what Bush has already provided.

Ah- sorry I missed the link. Cheers.

would this not be what it already has though? it's a 1998 300tdi 110 CSW

Cheers for your help with it. It's a great conversion.

I finished it last night and test drove it at around 2am! Very very pleased! I made an adaptor to mount the TGV oil drain pipe to a 300tdi block. And for the feed pi[pe I used a 300tdi pipe turned through 180degrees at the block. I have used silicone hoses and steel pipe to link the inlet to the air filter with an aluminium bend over the exhaust to avoid the exhaust possibly burning a silicone hose. TGV downpipe for the exhaust linking into a standard 90 mid box and a straight through rear section. Initial impressions show much more low down power and it seems to pick up a lot faster. the Exhaust had given me better pick up before the turbo but now I reckon it will pull a disco transfer case happily. You find yourself dropping cogs a lot less as the power is there to accelerate through the gear you're in. very worth while, and I have some pictures of the adapto required for the oil drain and my complete install.

the only issue I have is I can't think where is best to drill and tap my TGV manifold

old stock? I don't know. It was advertised and looked different to the ones Les has had trouble with so decided to give it a go.

Can anyone reccomend a spring for the rear of a mainly road used CSW that tows regularly. Something than can be used with the standard shocks and no silly lift springs. Just a heavier rate spring for the rear. Cheers.

I fitted an SPI one from MPS4x4 (?) and it was superb quality, just requires a good coat of paint.

I have bought the Auber Instruments version

I have thought about this and would like to keep it mostly Rover, but even the L suffix seem to suffer behind an R380. Remember also your V8's power delivery will be a lot smoother than the 4cyl TGV.

I'm looking for a suitable box to fit behind my new TGV and am not so keen on the idea an auto. I know the R380 in theory will cope with the TGV, but experience from others shows it doesn't take much to kill an R380 with one. I have looked at a Tremec at £1500 it's not too bad, but the machine work involved in getting it to fit will send the cost beyond my budget. Any suggestions?

at the last Challenger a bloke with a disco on 235's was holding his own really well. don't be put off just use your disco.

They sound hilarious when done!

A mate is having a problem getting his to work. he's checked the earth and it's fine and has current down at the fitting but as soon as he fits the bulb there is no power. He's replaced the lamp unit but still the problem remains. Any ideas?

does anybody know what was done with regard to ht eoil feed? The TGV has a pump on the back of the alternator and a feed back into the sump.

it looks daft Yours - a vintage car man

141k 1996 300tdi

they're knackered.

I need some advice on the bearing sizes within one, are the big ends the same as 300tdi? also how hard are the main bearings to come by? cheers

I have a coniston green 90 but it's an early 96 model. what code will mine be?

I'd be interested in marshalling too, think I spoke to mr. Challenger whilst the French chap did some crazy mud plugging
