Cleaned out EGR carbon build up Installed new fuel filters, timing and aux belts with new water pump, idlers and tensioners Installed wiper linkage and wipers and motor Installed the windscreen washer bottle and installed the piping Installed the N75 valve Installed the A/C radiator and all pipes apart from the ones that connect to the AC compressor. Installed new polybushes to the front and rear Anti roll bar Installed Nivomats (Might be repeating myself there) Removed the rear lower trailing arm to get new bushes pressed in. Replaced thermostat Installed water pipes to the engine with new stainless steel clips all around Installed new oil filter Cleaned up turbo and reinstalled Just a few bits there ![]() Only bits left now: Install glow plugs Attach gearbox and put in gearbox oil Install engine Connect all the electrical wiring up Connect all the hoses and put in oil, P/S fluid and coolant throughout. Install battery tray, Battery and airbox connect all that up. Install rear trailing arm with new bushes Install new discs and pads Install carriers and calipers Bleed brake and clutch system Attach the calipers Put some diesel in, prime the system and fingers crossed I'm done!
