We got through at least half of the jobs on the pre-mot list last night. Hopefully be on the road next week, assuming the battery gets delivered in time...

Passed it's MOT this afternoon, tax is in the window. For 6psi, it goes deceptively well. Doesn't feel anything like it did with the T3. Edited by apbellamy on 20th Jun, 2011. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Back in pieces. Oil drain no worky so good and it was easier to find where the turbo and manifold weren't blowing than where they were.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Striped the turbo etc of the other day and (hopefully) got it sealed onto the manifold. Now the parts have finally come, I've made the new oil drain.

The new one is very similar to my setup with the elbow, I had a similar problem, mig welded it all round nice and neat and it leaked like a sieve!, luckily I pressure tested it off the car first, ended up giving it all a really good clean and then brazed over the whole area of the welds, I suppose soft solder would also do the trick. Anyhow all looking good, John said he/you will race me at Avon looking forward to it! On 18th Oct, 2013 apbellamy said:

Copper and solder won't work, won't take the heat. Just needs the gaps migging in. The base is 3mm thick so should be OK to get a fair bit of weld in. I have a cunning plan to keep it flat whilst welding...

See you for a beer or two at Avon Oli, I'm guessing the van will give away our location How hot do you think the oil will be, if you are concerned that it will melt soft solder at about 200c On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Spent a fun afternoon getting the oil drain off. Took me nearly an hour to get one bolt out. In the end I had to adapt an allen key to get at it
