TDV8 retrofit...
For those not on Facebook...
With customers cancelling due to the weather, and lack of deliveries for the same reason, progress has been made on fitting the TDV8!
Doesn't look like much progress has been made, but:
Front end wiring loom has been swapped over
Chassis loom has been swapped over
Fuel pipes and filter housing replaced
Engine mounts swapped
TDV8 PCM is in place
Fuel tank wiring needs extended (annoyingly, it's 5 inches too short )
Fuel cooler fitting
Gearbox oil cooler fitting
Filter housing secured
Then the engine and gearbox can be fitted into place!

I know it does not pay the bills, but that must be very rewarding.
Rather jealous I do not have the ability to do such a build.

Looks like an interesting project...
Any chance you can tell me what size fuel line or what size the quick connectors are in the pick of the fuel filter ???
I am thinking 8mm and chance you can tell ?
Thanks and Cheers Bulletman
