i sympathise with you about the showers, i've loads of work i want/got to do and i'm sick of being soaked even with my canvas up :sad:

...if it did work in the same way as the tdi (i think it does have some sort of valve thing going on to control flow through oil cooler) then what impact would blanking off be? not going to effect oil flow through engine or something? I planned on running it like that until I sort something out with oil cooler. I was hoping it be okay as I not going to be belting around above 55mph - no towing no loads cept my lard butt.

well duh ...... I am a dumb ass ( well nearly) did some more research and I will need to remove the oil thermostat from inside the filter housing else if when oil is hot enough the thermostat will open and try to route the oil through the no existent oil cooler, cut the oil supply all together and engine melts :D

......and now........ have ordered an after market oil cooler and a couple of 1/2inch bsp female/female adaptors..... change my mind like a women, but the thought of ditching the oil cooler on a 19J irks me.
NiteMare:
looks like you're sorted, good to hear of progress :grin:
Saffy:
Have the oil cooler, looks sweet but haven't plumbed yet as other things need doing first.
Drained the petrol out of the tank (filled 20litre jerry !). Fitted a fuel return to the tank. Fitted the TD fuel filter housing to the bulk head and plumbed all the fuel lines in. All in the rain of course. Getting a tad tired of the weather now as a two day job is taking for ever. Have booked a week off next month so it better be fair sailing.
Next on the list is fitting the seatbox back in. Fitting battery into the seatbox and route the charging cabling, wire up starter motor, do the chassis/engine block earth straps.
