Yeah the Magnum van was cool, there is a print and fold paper van on line some where, was looking for it again some time ago but had no luck, think i might give it another go right now!!

You are a star mr Hell!

Do i put it in to gear to jolt it?

Might be on the road soon, then it's new paint job (again) and wheels woohoo!!

ok new question. the gearbox input shaft.... does it come out without removing the final drive from the box or can you get it with everything in place? I can see a circlip and the new shaft has an internal thread so i'd assume these are the only things that keep it in place? haynes are no help when ...

Thanks Diamond you're a star, however I need a loom for the ecu are they easy for the novice to make or will I need a load of gear to do it? I would imagine the plugs are the biggest bit to worry about I can get plenty of wire from work. I was thinking of getting the haynes for the golf the engine c...

Nice one, is there any kind of specific pump I'll need? Does anyone have a wiring diagram or explanasion of how to wire the engine into the van? The mechanics I can handle but wiring is usually a bit of a mystery, even the basics might be some help as I have a mate who has offered to help and he mig...

Hey there Diamond,

if these manifolds are possibly still going ahead I would be very interested as I think any labour saving part is great in my eyes. even the second one which was mentionedmight be worth while for me; are you still after making them???

Right second question: the swap is going quite well however...... as the new engine is common rail injection controled by an ecu will I need to install some kind of lift pump or otherwise inorder to get the rail up to an appropriate opperating pressure? Also is there any need to fit a fuel cut off s...

Yeah I understand the need to mount the engine at the angle it was the fact that once you do this with the PB the inlet manifold was going to be underneath the engine rather than on top because it's on the same side as the exhaust manifold. Has this not been any kind of hassle to anyone else during ...

My new engine just turned up on friday, I've had a brief look around and there is something i'm not too familiar with. The inlet manifold and the exhaust manifold are on the same side of the engine, is this going to be a problem? Is there any way around having to have the engine mounted on an angle ...

Do that already and she aint too happy about that either, i told her she should feel lucky there are even seats in the back; however they also have no seat belts on them

is it at all possible to legally change the lap belt of the middle front seat to a three point seat belt by making mounting brakets and fitting an after market belt? I havent got the lap belt anyway and the misses doesn't like them so i said i'd ask
any thoughts or ideas would be great cheers.
