well its<edit>! went to the garage today and discovered that i have been screwed over! the clutch didn't go it was the gear box.....which was from a v8.....main shaft has been stripped the clutch was in pieces and a propshaft had to be removed "forcivley" this is not good! i can not express how [!Expletive Deleted!] off i am right now. i tell you its a bloody good thing that the little sh*t i bought it from lives in portsmouth because if he were any closer i would visit with a chock and sledge hammer! its going to cost me over 1500 to get it all sorted! now in all honesty my first thought was to strip it all down and sell it! but no, i admit its a rat wagon but Ive grown attached to it over the past few months and i dont think i could buy a 90 or something and not still wish i had the disco after doing that! it was getting so close to being on the mud too! bloody ;kgnbqepiojbgpieqrhvgbpiasehfbvoaiufvbpoihefvbsidhfbvgljusefbv;piaefbvljsdf bvpuiash!Q

Mate, i seriously admire your skills, especially at your age. no doubt there is some serious experience in your family. this has been one of the longest threads i have read and i am absolutely amazed by how much you have done to it. i am a senior warrant officer in the army and you could seriously put some of my mechanics to shame. Remember: the army needs you :army:
In all seriousness, you would do very well, providing of course you can carry out your skills whilst taking out the taliban at the same time. Sounds exciting, PM me and i'll get you signed up LOL. Nice hot climates, foreign women, shrapnel........hmmmmmmmm i think i'll leave this one
Cant wait to see it completely finished

LOL boss, chill mate... i know a copper who works in portsmouth hes a hard man and likes LEFFE
he goes by the name LORD.... Shagg.... PYLE...
seriously, im near portsmouth, maybe we could organise a gang har harrrrrrr :cool: :grin:
boss:
maby we could....organise something lol.......as for the recruitment thing, I'm going to have to pass on that.... i wouldn't like being shouted at for a living lol
i have cooled down since lastnight, called in alot of favors and written alot of iou's but got the price down quite alot.
what had happend was because the gearbox mainshaft(not sure if its called that) was shorter than the tdi the clutch plate wasn't sitting securely and about 9/16Th's of the splines on the clutch plate were unused so all the splines were stripped. what also makes matters worse is that that white wire i pointed out earlier on in the build was the light for the difflock.....which has been permanently on! luckily the backend of the truck is so light and Skipp's around alot it may not have damaged it at all(fingers crossed). the rear propshaft had seazed may be responsible for the emence vibration that was coming through the drivetrain, and a fair few bolts were missing from the top of the gearbox.....one remains in the back of the engine, retaining a bit of bellhousing. oh good! someone needs a punch!
done my best to capture everything relevent but the camera i had to hand was rubbish!
