200tdi Conversion underway, couple of questions.
stefan:
I agree, I only used the studs which lined up.
The radiator surround I used was from a Discovery, I simply cut the side brackets off. The whole thing sat too high though, so I cut the brackets off the bottom which have the locating lugs attached, then I simply drilled new holes where the old lugs used to be, then placed 2 long thin bolts through these holes in the bracket, tigthened with washers and nuts, thus giving the remainder of the bolts enough length to act as lugs to sit back in the original rubber grommets on the chassis. Then simply made 2 top brackets and Bob's your Uncle as they say!!

TDi now in, held in with all the studs that lined up, three bolts, and half an M10 tap :oops: .
Tried starting it this afternoon but it looks although the fuel lift pump expired during the conversion.
It wont pump fuel, if i suck fuel up the pipe and reconnect it so i can see fuel in the pipe then try and start it the fuel doesn't move any further up the pipe.
I made all new fuel lines which are transparent so can see the the fuel.
Just waiting on an order to come with new pies for the air intake and the PAS box then it's all done.
