Well thanks to Jordie i have me DV and boost pipes bits n bobs. I took em all to peices and like lego tried different ways, finally found something neat and workable. managed to get the front rad fitted and still maintain stock alternator. some nibbling will need to be completed on the edge of the rad (its just the frame that does not hold water Edited by Richie on 13th Aug, 2008.

by the way the large hole in the block comes From the oil pump through the oilcooler if ones fitted, through the filter and into the main oil gallery, it is here where the oil pressure is read not direct from the pump which would give an unnaturally high reading, it is this same filtered oil that feeds the turbo..

I'll either update this thread or start another when I get cracking with it. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

no buddy it seems fitting that there is some sort of closure on this thread. DVLA have sent me confirmation of sale so you should get the V5 within a couple of days, if you have not allready got it that is.

) as it is just fouling the blades on the pulley of the alternator. I have seen a golf one which is smaller and mounts the same way so will go and retreive it from the lockup later :) although the cooler appears to be tilted on the photos, it is actually square so the whole of the core is facing forward rather than 45degsish towards the ground
