So, update.
I got it running nicely and all put back together yesterday morning by about 10 o clock, went for a test drive and everything seemed in order,sorted a couple of handling issues while I could get at it all in an empty bay and was well pleased with it afterwards. Came home and went to check the coolant again and realised I hadn't re-connected the bonnet release cable when I put the front end back on
.
Shouted at myself for a bit,struggled for a bit,then came and checked the forum for answers. Had to slightly vandalise the grill but got in in the end. I will not be doing that again.
But I was well pleased overall with the results of the Bosch/TD04 conversion,much more revvy and savage than before,how long it will last is anybody's guess though.
Only took a couple of pics putting it back together but you lot have seen it all before anyway.
