Thanks for all the comments, it certainly has been/ still is a mammoth task....

Insurance company are happy as it's technically (almost) as a TD elite would have left the factory.

Mileage on the TD engine, about half that indicated

It has been for it's first road test, still with the box in limp mode, biggest issue is severe smoking, I guess the first thing to check is EGR valve, but by heck it really does smoke atm, might just benefit from a bloody good run. Any suggestions welcome though.

This weekend is the chance to really get it sorted, finish the wiring etc. (well that's the plan  ::) )

Very impressive, well done Richard. I wonder, if you have a partner, if they appreciate the skills you have brought to this project.

Respect :y :y :y
