and second reason is i want to be able to see the cambelt when i first start it to make sure its ok when spinning round.

this is a fair good idea; when i did my belt first time there was slack somewhere along the line which i wouldn't have seen otherwise. Could see the slack from the amount of up and down movement on the belt when it was running but couldn't be felt when not running.

The covers aren't particularly hard to fit when the engine is in ...

Tbh this is one reason I didn't wanna fit them just incase history repeates it's self and does same thing all feels nice and tight tho, Ginge what switch is what on the dash?

Hmm strange will have a look next time im over the garage and see what i have left. I swear i picked up literally all the bolts that looked small enough to be cambelt cover bolts.

Not to worry mate, I'm sure I can pick some up next time I go to scrappy no rush for them any way

Yer defo it's a long way if finished but I wanted engine out of shed so I got room to filter Veg oil, will carry on with bits when I get chance need HDI gearbox still tho

Update

Put d turbo box on for now just so I can have it started, attached some wires then hooked up jump leads



To get in car find the steering lock jammed solid!!



So broke out the lump hammer a few good wacks later it come off f*cking thing!!

Any way sit rep is it turned over twice, battery is shagged, still waiting on injectors to come seen as one injector still stuck in the old head, few other bits to get and fit before the first start but, few steps closer

Comments welcome

[Danny2009]

If lump hammer Dosent fix it then f*cked

Getting there mate

The thing is normally when I get the hammer out I normally end up in a worse situation

I'm not looking forward to it tbh expecting Oil every were conrod though front of block etc etc I have no faith what so ever

Nearly there bud.... :-)

It is getting there slowly.

Need your guys opinions on HDI box do I carry on with the plan of getting one or not bother and just stick with the d turbo box?? Getting board of being let down buying them so tempted to just leave d turbo box in there

What u guys think???

[Danny2009]

Box is on leave it be

Personally hate hdi boxes can't see all the rave about them

I blew 2 up and didn't like the ratios was more lively on a xud box

---

But if your wanting a hdi box let me know and I'll buy a 306 hdi

[Chris_90]

The reason I want one is the small wheels on this gears everything down so a Hdi will probably be about the same as a d turbo box normally, I don't want it to be screaming its tits off on the motorway that's the main reason all so a higher top speed to

[Danny2009]

Hmm fair point

Let me know if you want a box I'll buy a 306 to break

Or bigger wheels

[Chris_90]

We'll plan is 195/50/15's eventually but wanna get it on road first, and will let you no

[Piggy]

I think the hdi box be great with the setup you have...light car, GTs turbo, lotsa torque, it will fly. Should help with not spinning up the wheels so much too

---

BUT dont worry for now....just get it on the road!

[mr_fish]

Have to agree with Piggy, If you have DT box on there, get it fired up and running smoothly, do a few miles to iron out any niggles then if you find a box at the right price then you could take a day out to swap it over, etc. As long as you grease all the bolts you put back in now, it'll come apart easier next time...which is half the battle at times.

You asked in my thread if the HDi box was for sale, unfortunately 'technically' its not my box so it would be unfair for me to sell it really. (Sorry )

I think the Hdi box would go better with the set up to.

Yer that's a fair point think I will do that then, when you guys say the gearbox is on well it's held on with 3 bolts and the mount that's it only took 10mins to get it back on don't no what all the fuss is about tbh

And not to worry Mr_fish was worth me asking

[Chris_90]

Did abit more on this today pretty much ready for first start, need a battery. Waiting on a pipe for the oil filler neck from Peugeot, and still waiting on injectors to come!

Hopefully come tomorrow as really eager to get first start out the way.

[procta]

just take your time, so there isn't any fowl ups. double check everything before you start it for the 1st time.

I have already will triple check before first start, just injector that is sticking point at min if only I could get the one out the head that's stuck

[Piggy]

Breaker bar+scaffold

[Danny2009]

I've got loads of battery's if you need one pal

[Chris_90]

Breaker bar+scaffold

When I say stuck I mean it keeps spinning like threads gone, any way it's propa dead now after get stressed and smashing it to bits with the lump hammer

I've got loads of battery's if you need one pal

Will keep that in mind Mate will see if this one will hold its charge once I get it running. We'll if I get it running

[Sambarker]

I have a hdi box ready to bolt onto an xud. I'm using a Xantia box instead

Pm me your price might be interested, all tho not really looking for one at min focusing on getting it running and road worth, but if it's cheap I will be tempted
