So problems so far found a tuneing box on it, so that come off straight away wasnt turned on but defo dont want any of that shit on it! Found a patch that needs welding under neath looks like some one jacked it up and cracked under seal and its rusted over time. hand brake cable needs cliping up, the bottom boost pipe needs sorting as its very close to the floor, central locking to sort, need to get a passenger side arch gaurd. all simple easy fixes.

Other than that drives great so much more refined than the old d turbo alot quieter, exhaust sounds well looks like 2.5/2.75 inch pipe, interior is mint not a rip in site.

All in all im quite happy with it all tho doesn't feel as fast as the d turbo does not sure if its because of the longer gearing or im just not used to it yet.

Comments welcome :-D
Looks nice dude, you soon grow bored of the refinement and start craving xud clatter and vibrations again :p haha
swap the roof bars onto the hdi as well Wink looks clean and love diablo!
To low? Im confused, never heard this "to low" expression before Dodgy

You'd be suprised mate, its not all that different to the cyclones.
Its only when you hit a pothole yoi can really tell tbh
So not much of an update done 550mile in it so far been to Scarborough/bridlington in it today not skiped a beat! But it comes off road tomorrow so i can use the veg up in the d turbo.

Couple of things i have done to the hdi is tied the handbrake cable up, painted the intercooler matt black, thats it i think lol any way few pics from today

D turbo helping the hdi in to life......

Very tempted on doing an xud swap in to the hdi shell.... But un sure what to do tbh really not a fan of hdi electrics or not being able to run veg oil...... So gonna decide on what to do in next few months if to sell this or do the swap

Comments welcome
As said on Instagram, you have everything for the dturbo conversion you need right there!
100% worth it, phase 3 comforts with an xud heart.
I'm having to source all of the parts individually for the conversion, ballache, but worth it

Yer I'm tempted to do it but just the fact of d turbo is on 172,000miles so it's getting on a bit but it runs bang on pulls great, just worrys me a bit
Just strip her down, full rebuild, hdi rods while you're there, lovely job!
id say just do the swap, all the xud benefits then once its all done and your 170k engine does let go, its as simple as dropping a new lump in again but minus all the work in the first place. like dec said, you have everything you need already. really like the ride height ntw, looks spot on
Just remember the hdi block is heavier so when you do the swap it will raise up a tad

But then I would have 2 cars both in bits couldn't do that as would always need at least one car running

This is what I was thinking, cos xud had cambelt, full service etc so no need to spend just Change clutch and drop it in hdi and best of both worlds.

Didn't no that shouldnt make a big difference tho tbh could do with lifting a tiny bit as scraped on a bumps a couple of times
Scraps xud, buys hdi, hdi doesnt work, oh dear.

Hdi dose work Wink and xud isn't scraped as still using it every day Wink
I never regretted doing my xud conversion. I'm planning to xud a cabby this year if funds allow after the house move..
