Right well got the gearbox out, swapped over loads of bits.
Broke the 2.5td flywheel housing..dont ask so ive used the
original which is the same as it happens despite what i was
told! the top of the boxes dont interchange as i found as it
jammed the selectors....foook knows why. Had to drill out the
rear transfer box level plug. So lots of problems today and
parts not fitting and the box would nt go in at the end so thats
tomorrows job! Im going to try to jack the box on tomorrow using
a sissor jack as i have done in the past, its on the clutch be
wont go any further. Hopefully more luck later as i have done a
box change in a day before easily! ::)

recheck your clutch alignment before pissing about with a
scissor jack, there's no taper on the spigot which means it has
to be aligned accturately to make it easy to fit, if you've
caught the bush trying to force the gearbox into place you may
have deformed it
i run straight through exhausts on both my tdi conversions using
52mm exhaust pipe and followed the original path on both my 88
and 109, both are tucked up pretty well and haven't dented or
torn off when offroad
the hissing noise "could" be a silicon turbo hose with a minor
leak or the hose from the turbo to the injector pump leaking or
round to the waste gate actuator, check for cracks in the little
pipes
the tops of gearboxes do not interchange unless you're really
lucky as they are "matched" units, bolted together and bored as
one unit for the selector rods, in the same way as mains caps,
big end caps are machined in situ in the block or bolted to the
con rods, one way round and no swapping

Right box in a running..thank god but still a few issues like no
seats in etc so another day off work tomorrow to finish off!
::)
I used a spare input shaft from a box to realign the clutch then
used a jack to pursuade it on....worked a treat!
I still have my noise on overun so i recon its the rear drop pto
bearing, il have a look at that at some point since the whole
box is new apart from the pto..... >:(
I also have high and low box but the 4 high yellow lever wont
stay down. :P
Got a lot of messing about inside to do tomorrow.

Right il update....nowt interesting but i have been running her
for work every day since the box change and its ok. Today i
removed the pto drop box and replaced the pinion bearing...the
roller one inside the normal rear transfer box cover plate. Mine
was a plastic one and i replaced with a metal one from the older
box........and the massive noise on overun has almost gone so
thats only taken me 3 years to find it....im so happy!!!!!!!
:thumbs:
So that means i have a spare good series 2 box in case of
disaster in my garden! yay.
I have also fitted a pair of rear bench seats free from
maltec...thanks loads!
topped up oils etc.
I have used my winch a fair amount recently...first i !"fell" in
a massive tractor rut when going into the woods...serve me right
not checking the ground! :loser: then winched a big recycling
bin out of a river after some bellends chucked it in!
Are you all asleep yet...did i mention my overun noise???? rofl

Great news Rich Glad you got rid of the noise and the box is ok.
I'm a bit jealous about the bench seats though, ive been looking
out for some local ones!
Once my docs get back from DVLA, MOT time then we can go for a
spin. :smile1

Right so far i ve done nothing to the series! :loser: Although
i have collected various things to play with. I got an ebay
welder, snap on 130 which turned out should have been spares or
repairs, fucking dicks on ebay. So i had to get loads of spares
and i still havent tried it. I need to see the pub about a gas
bottle.
Next thing is a pair of 109 front shocks i got cheap, decardon
gas things which is nice! have have some new bottom bushes as
well. Heres the clever bit since we all know how shit the big
split pin idea is to fit them. Ihave bought 4 large thick
washers that i will drill and tap a hole on either side of the
main hole. I will then fit the normal washer then my new one
afterwards, put the split pin in then screw in a bolt either
side squashing the bush.....no more bushes worn out after a
week!! well thats the plan anyway! :thumbs:
I also have lots of red metal paint so i might just paint summit
red as it feels good! rofl

spoil it! ;D
When your welder/welding is sorted and upto scratch I might have
one or two small jobs for you :)
