Good work dude, look forward to seeing them on...

Cheers dude...i am too...just got 3 more to paint

Whoop and indeed whoop!

Just sold the tyres of the 19 inch alloys! They now only owe me £80...I would say that is a bargain!

Rubbed the second wheel down tonight. Will give it a quick going over on Sunday and then get that sprayed too. Then next week should have the other 2 rubbed down and sprayed

Mike have you found any adaptors for those wheels ,Ive just got some audi Q7 wheels to go on my T5 but they wont bolt straight on

Q7s are 5x130 the same as porsche fitment

Don;t need adaptors for the range rover wheels dude They are 5x120...although i think i may need 10mm spacers on the rears.

Thanks matty i found that out the hard way ,not sure about using adaptors with the weight of the van

Will be fitting 245/40/19's when i get tyres for them as it only makes the speedo out by 0.8%

New clutch being fitted on Monday...

and fingers crossed tomorrow there should be 2 tyres being delivered, with the other 2 being delivered next week along with a fitting kit

Wheels are now fitted Will get some photos when the van is clean.

Got the new clutch fitted yesterday too...now running a solid flywheel conversion so that when the clutch goes i only need to replace the clutch itself and not the flywheel too.

Now got a weird running issue though. When the torque comes in at about 1600 rpm i have a vibration through the van. Not sure if it is down to a hose that has come loose when we dropped everything yesterday, or possibly due to a bad seal on the boost hoses...I'm a bit stumped by it all if I'm honest. Going to try to have a look round it at lunchtime to see if there is anything obvious...but does anyone know if an unsealed boost hose could cause vibration?

sure its not because of the solid flywheel conversion?

If it is dude, it's not a nice feeling A little vibration i can cope with and i would expect, but this seems excessive.

I have heard of this problem on ford transits and mondeos, apparently they vibrate bad

Seem to be a mix of opinions (as usual) on the Solid Flywheel conversions, some like them, some hate them.

Will look tonight to see if there are any other problems and go from there i think.

i got told by a taxi driver that had one fitted to a mondeo 2.0 tdci, he got it changed back to a dual-mass

Ordered a new rear engine mount and some seals/clips for the boost hose.

Tinklers have driven it and I doesn't feel like the clutch as it translates from the rear of the engine.

Yeahhhhhh boi!
