as long as you are not swapping early/late parts then the wiring is plug and play , that is the diesel engine loom will plug into the main van loom as the petrol one does.

you will need to run the glowplug wire tho as this wont be in the loom. it is however in the loom under the dsah!

are you getting starter motor/bell housing /input shaft?

next 2 need to be cut from the doner vehicle .....
how about battery tray -needed to support water bottle
rear mount plates - or you will be missing mount holes and mount bars will be too short!

throttle cable? you can bodge the petrol one which has adifferent fitting and is much shotter

front -rear plastic coolant pipes or will you bodge your exhisting ones?

just a thought

oh, ALOT TO TAKE ON BOARD!

so there is actually a wire unconnected rady for the glow plugs?

getting the bell housing and starter, but not the inout shaft, i was going to ge the petrol one cut down?

and the battery i was going to leave where is was and i supose make a support for the coolant bottle?

how would go about bodging the water pipes?

[billy739]

coolant pipes need extending

no wires for glowplugs, that will be on the diesel loom you wil require from eth donor.
the loom is plug and play to the petrol van , but there is NO glowplug lamp wire in the loom upto the fusebox.
its built in from fuse box to dash on petrol vans

are you getting dash/radiator / radiator fan and loom? all td specific parts.

nope, just the stuff from the rear- should this be ok?
