Seriously impressed and, quite a bit jealous. 95 pages to read tonight, better than a new episode of Binky project. Excellent. Looking forward to it. Holy mackerel - you are in for a treat. Perfect for a poorly arm 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I like Christmas Day, I hate the commercial stuff that goes with it. My darling wife is hosting her family this year, and is panicking. So needed reassurance that it was a good idea to buy plates and table cloths and such like. I don't care, but happy to say, "yes. Great idea!"

Stellaghost Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Small job tonight, new brackets and some basic shrouding for my kenlow fan, old brackets no good due to addition of intercooler First some easy steelwork then the easy shrouding so easy to cut with a bandsaw Regards Stephen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Learnt a hard lesson today, don't trust what your told and measure regardless So this Has now been cut off and turned into this Why ? Well this intercooler is obviously not for a 200 tdi and I should have measured up because when trying to put things together boxed section was well in the way to allow radiator to be installed, not happy with myself !! Sorted now so I'm relatively happy again regards Stephen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stellaghost Posted November 25, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2022 Fitted the radiator onto my front panel, intercooler set up First off folded some 3mm aluminium to the shape I required slid into place, very neat fit Small gap between radiator and intercooler close but not touching power steering box I could retake pictures in daylight if anybody wants me too looking to add a steel supporting bracket under aluminium brackets to give more support as aluminium flexing a wee bit with the weight, which will only get heavier once filled with coolant regards Stephen 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
