Re: Headlights with Taifun Grille Questions
I just got a Taifun grille... How the hell are they meant to attach to the van? None of the fittings are standard. If anything the van's fittings are getting in the way!

metal coolant pipes
Whoops, just picked a rust flake off the big metal coolant pipe which goes along under the van next to the gearbox, and the "bar-steward" sprung a leak! How expensive is this going to be? 1.9 dg.

Re: jobs to do when replacing a DG
Courier did not turn up today!
Should be tomorrow now...
I will make sure to compare both engines very closely and hopefully be able to use the best bits from each!

jobs to do when replacing a DG
Replacing a DG with a new (2nd hand) one, been advised to check the clutch on the new one. Don't know what to look for. Got haynes manual, will that tell me everything I need to know?
PS is there anything else I should check/replace while engine is out?

recon DG
Do any companies still do a recon exchange DG engine? I thought I saw such an ad recently for one it was about £1000 and with 12 month warranty. ...? Can only seem to find them for about £2k + now :'(

Re: DG to AGG
Ok so the diesel might be a KY (1.7) not a 1Y.
Is this still a good thing?
Can I use its parts just the same?
