Cool little truck - and an impressive array of photos, I think
most of them would fit in among other competitors for the PoM
competition here on the forum! 8)

I want that motor! Just lovely, and some great shots of it too.
Good to see a Series 1 used as it should be!

Yeah, that's spot on, gorgeous little truck. I wouldn't tdi it
either; it looks like it does the job just fine with what it
has. 8)

Thanks for the kind comments guys :)
I share the concerns about making it a tdi as a good 2.25petrol
running right sounds and drives great. The petrol engine in
Angus was having a few issues though, badly running, a crack in
the manifold and leaking oil like I don't know what. It was also
burning oil at a litre every 100 miles.
So.....with the price of fuel (and oil) increasing daily the 200
tdi seems the obvious choice.
The story so far

Sorry if this upsets the purists but it had to be done. If it
still had the origional 2l petrol then I might have thought
twice.

Well after finding I had a knackered starter I have fitted new
one and the now tdi starts on the button. I just have the
exhaust to sort out and some electrics then MOT time! :giddy:
Looking forward to the summer.

Having just tdi mine, I do have to ask, why fit an intercooler
if it's not getting cold air though it?. Looking at where you
have yours fitted (above the exhaust manifold) won't yours work
the wrong way, when in staitionary traffic the heat from the
exhaust will rise up an warm the intercooler? Unless you have
some kind of louvre in your bonnet? (washes his brain in bleach
for even thinking such a thing ;-) ).
