New off road motor

solarman216 · 23-08-2012, 22:47

Having completed a 450 mile round trip today to bring my new off road swb Mav home, purchased from Xkaibre, I am now well and truly shagged, decided when I saw it that diesel was the way to go for off road fun, the petrol is great till it gets wet, and I like the wet, and also having rolled it and got a fuel leak, was not impressed with petrol floating on water, it spreads far, so pics of the conversion will be posted as they happen, Rick

Nice one rick

solarman216 · 23-08-2012, 23:00

there will be many bits on the mav that I will not want, so ask away, Rick

96terrano · 23-08-2012, 23:18

I might just do that

Has it got abs by any remote chance ?

Glad to say no ABS, and I need the axles, but I do have a scrapper, what is it you need, Rick

stinka · 25-08-2012, 22:44

Still after a h233b rear axle with good LSD and abs

Oh and 4.365 ratio

R1cho · 25-08-2012, 22:47

dunno what mine is but i do have a rear axle with good lsd

solarman216 · 25-08-2012, 22:50

Have to say this is the first TDi I have driven and noticed straight away the low down torque is the pits compare to the petrol, I can see a lot of clutch slipping will be needed, any one have any ideas how I can increase it, if possible, Rick

Cant help with the ABS, I do have a good LSD type that bolts from the front but not sure what ratio it is, will have to look it up, what exactly is wrong with yours, Rick

Mines got the later backplated c200 diff, the diaphragm springs crack and breakup, basically they are shite compared to the h233b
