TDi conversion compleat

[MTyrrell]

I got my cast removed last Tuesday, after breaking my arm a few days before ww2.
 I finally got around t taking the 110 for it's first run after the TDi conversion today.

 What a difference! Even now having PAS makes it easier to drive, nearly put in a headg not being used to it.

 The only headache was the pipe work for the turbo and inter cooler.

 I still need to change the fuel filter housing for a TDi one as soon as i can find one, Land Rover want £70 for one :(   and paddocks don't do em.  The TDi doesn't link back to the filer from the injectors like the TD, i have blocked the extra pipe for the time being but it isn't safe as it drip's diesel on to the block after running for a bit. :shock:

I was lucky, I managed to pick up a complete Bosch filter housing and filter for £15 brand new, boxed at the LRO show at Malvern!

The Tdi difference is amazing isn't it, especially in my case replacing the old 2.5 petrol!!

Now got about 4,000 miles under it's belt since converting.

i made up some new fuel pipes & redid the flow back on mine,ill try n take a pic of it 2moz if you want,im still running the TD filters BTW

I believe theres a tdi filter housing on ebay at the min for a tenner, maybe worth a look!

Thanks defnintey I'll go and have a look for that one now.

Thanks mike, how've you sealed the flow back? i have a bolt in there at the moment, if i cant get a TDi housing i was going to see if there was some way i could solder it up.

 The starter solenoid decided to call it quits, it's not disengaging so that's got to come off over the weakened, other than that she's running niceley...... touch wood.

 Took some phohotos tonight, there not up to much as it was dark and the camera battries gave out, I'll put some better ones on this weakened.

see on the above pic^^ ill try n explain what i did witht e fuel pipes
 on the filter you have 2 in & one out? & the one on the top gies back to the tank,

on mine i had from tank IN to filter,
Out from filter to injection pump,
return from Injection pump IN to filter

& the one on the top (black in the pic) blanked of the RHS with a bit o fuel hose,a bolt n a hose clip (sweet) & the right goes back to the tank,


basiacally meabs the warm fuel from the injection pump goes back to the tank via the filter (keeps it warm when running) then back to the tank
