Ken986 said: Great work there, well done.Diesels can be a bit messy to work on but this has been worthwhile.I hope so, I'm itching to finish the job but am in no need to rush.With everything off, the wiring loom has been repaired. It was cut, re-soldered, wrapped individually then wrapped in insulation tape. I'll need to pick up some external plastic covering to match the original to protect it, but for now this will do.The new intake is also fitted.You can see how the actuator bar is supposed to fit.More progress was done this eve, but it's just the reversal of the above. I'll document more

When putting the wiring loom back, I made the decision not to use the factory fastening points. While this keeps it neat, it keeps it too close to the block for my taste. This isn't usually an issue, but if the wires already have 20 years of heat cycles and a coating of oil, I want to keep them as far away from heat as possible.The wrapped loom in the image should be in the clip I'm pointing at. Instead I've placed it behind.Before re-fitting the throttle body, I made my best attempt to clean it up.My god that took such a long time. It wasn't a simple 'spray and wipe' either; a screwdriver was used to scrape the carbon off. To get it to that stage took long enough. It's not perfect, but it's much smoother.New filter goes in. I know I need to remove this again to do the timing, but I wanted to test the car before doing so.The car started first time without issue, and I'm pleased to report no errors, no leaks, nothing. Very happy (and relieved) with this replacement, and am glad I took my time.Next up is the timing belt and water pump. I'm just waiting for the locking kit to arrive before starting, but it shouldn't take me long to do.
