Well, I am now the proud owner of the orange XUD cabby brought from this forum, and have big plans for it! I'll get some pictures up as soon as possible, although I imagine most people on here are more familiar with it than I am lol.

It's already reminding me how french it is with a broken roof and various other niggles, but love it all the same!

Another Ipswich member? I'll keep an eye out for an orange cabby then, not that it'll be difficult to see lol.

Awesome, Ipswich is closer than Johnnys for when you sell it to me.
On the up side I didn't know the roof was knackered so in a way I'm not quite as torn apart.

Glad to see you sign up and get involved, was good to meet you yesterday. Couldn't believe the roof stopped working then and there, classic french!

Haha, epic sod's law on the roof! As you say, typical french though!
 What sort of plans have you got for it? Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Yeah, the roof couldn't have been more French yesterday. Rubbish. JJ isn't allowed to buy it, he'll just sell it after a month

Nobody is buying it lol. Plans currently are something along the lines of: rebuilt engine with upgraded rods, front mount, probably a new exhaust, and general restoration of the worn out bits. Lots of fixing to do and that will keep me busy while I source parts for the engine I want to build. I'm going to do my research first though on engine stuff for these
23-08-2015, 05:17 PM
I don't mind sourcing an engine if you want us to build it, saves transporting stuff around as much. Also drop me a message if you need any more information about more power/reliability

Ok. I've had some opinions on this but would like to know everyone's thoughts, if I was aiming for 170 ish bhp, what would I need on the xud engine? Current plans are hdi rods and balanced crank
As far as I'm aware my pump will flow plenty of fuel for that power, I'll be running a front mount and sticking with the same turbo that's on it now

Hdi or even better forged rods, ARP studs would be a wise move, front mount on that and I think you're close to 170 bhp tbh fella

I've found an engine for sale with hdi rods, arp studs, and new bearings, and mls gasket. Then going for new turbo and front mount. I think that should see me there
Want it reliable at that power. Also going to convert the roof to manual so I can lose the the hydraulic crap and save some weight, and gain some reliability lol

I had a td04 on my last car that stretched the head studs, that was on a 9mm pump with a few mods, still on top mount, that was pushing 170bhp no doubt, but reliable, u need forged rods Imo, always a chance of one letting go otherwise

Ok so here is a list of things that I'm currently aware are wrong with the car:
Coolant leak Oil leak Exhaust manifold leak Brake judder, suspected warped discs Roof not working The first 3 things will be sorted when the engine swap is done at the start of october hopefully. The roof will be converted to manual operation soon as well, so thats one lesd thing to go wrong. I'm very happy with the car, love it, and wouldn't part with it as it's a beast.

Well, roof is now working, and have aquired some twin fans for when I do the engine conversion
30-08-2015, 01:10 PM
Ooh, what was wrong with the roof? Also with the twin fans you might have issues fitting an intercooler without lots of bumper alterations.

The fans will be going behind the radiator not in front, leaving loads of space for a nice big front mount
And no idea on the roof, just randomly started working so making the most of it

Typical French electrics!

Pictures will be posted up as soon as possible. I need some advice from people though, I've decided I'm going to replace the turbo while the engine is out, and I need some advice on what turbo to go for. Needs to be relatively easy to fit and 200bhp capable. Any suggestions?

Yep, engine with hdi rods and arp bolts is ready, I'm not aiming for 200bhp just yet, I'd like to see a healthy 170 with a bit of room left to play
