Carrotbay,

The turbo actuator on my install clears. It’s close but it clears. The plug housing touches the steering box but I may get away with it. Otherwise, just need to trim the housing a bit.


Thanks MJ - really useful
I got my engine in this week and I’m probably a few mm further forward as the actuator plug is very tight against the steering box. I’m going to space it back a little on it’s mounting bolts and that should do the trick.
Good to see the belts, just waiting for some bits to arrive and that should sort that. What are you doing for power steering hoses?


Hi Carrotbay, regarding the power steering hoses I read that off the shelf 200tdi are a direct fit so could be worth a look to save a few quid, Ive noticed people offering a conversion for double the price of these Shocked


I used the original 200 tdi high pressure pipe tweaked to suit the pumps location and used just hose for the low pressure return, no fancy kit used.

Weekend was spent mainly cleaning out the garage as it turned into a pure dump.

Garage cleaned and got to making the fuel lines, still no sign of my bracket which i sent off to be made mid December Rolling Eyes
