Magic - thankyou.
I’m planning to take off for the transmission cooler but if I ditch that idea I’ll take your advice on board. Cheers. [quote="shanecl"]

I was thinking of running a water cooler too for the trans but wasn't sure, pulled the trigger on a setrab so see how we go. The E60 530d cooler i was looking at and easy money on ebay |

Awesome thread I'm also in the process of doing this conversion, what are you doing handbrake wise? I've noticed one or two do away with the drum in favour of the park on the auto box but not sure about it.

Hi Carrotbay, regarding the power steering hoses I read that off the shelf 200tdi are a direct fit so could be worth a look to save a few quid, Ive noticed people offering a conversion for double the price of these |

Sorry Carrotbay, i didnt see the last bit asking about the power steering hoses.
I got some hydraulic pipes made up. I'll take a picture and send you the size and lengths of the hoses. They are pretty short as the pump is right beside the box. I will do it this evening or Thursday |

So this is what £200 pounds of air con fittings look like
Click image to enlarge I was struggling with the air con as they use a different type of fittings and trying to get my head around it. Finally have it cracked and plan is to machine a new block with threaded fittings that connects to the evaporator and then buy an Eaton hose kit and make the hoses myself, Heading to machine shop Thursday to see how much it'll be to machine the block and maybe make a couple |
