. The 525d was a down tuned 3.0d.  :y

This is what I should have bought instead of the Chrysler. They're invariably in a nice old man spec with lots of toys and comfy seats and yet a remap alone will add 100hp and 170nm  :D

Forum members will know I'm not the greatest fan of derv cars but I think old Tigger has done well here. :y

Incidentally what is the difference between a 330D and the 335D as they both share the same 3 litre straight six lump?

Good choice. :y


The 535d is a twin turbo (one small turbo and one large), whereas the 530d is a variable geometry single turbo.  :y

Incidentally, at one stage the 525d, the 530d, the 540d, and the 550d all used the 3.0d block. The 525d was a down tuned 3.0d.  :y

Probably performance overkill at Tigger's age. :)

Turned this pile of junk



 
which is a length of scaffold pole, four discs left from the handrail I built and some oval tubing I scrounged from a skip into this:






which is a stand for the bead roller:





the large handwheel used to be a base for a garden seat, that was also scrounged from a skip.
The short length of angle welded to the upright was added after I finished the stand to allow the easy mounting of both my folder





and the shrinker/stretcher





via this complex fabrication





All of these tools are now easily usable, which has never been the case for the twenty years :o  I've owned them.


I've also made several of these spike and fid sets using the M16x100bolts shown and a scrap length of 15mm copper pipe.





They're used for splicing and adjusting bell ropes.

530D and 535D. difference.

The price?

That could explain why Tigger went for the 530D.

Tight as a ducks arse... :D

Yup.  :)

The difference between the 530d and 535d is about 50bhp I believe.  :-\

Currently in need of -

Pair of usable oil cooler pipes (local hose specialist thought I'd landed from Mars when I asked them)

Pair of front hubs

IDK if the following bits are the same pre and post FL?
Decent handbrake frame and gaiter
Gearshift gaiter and frame possibly (mine has apparently gone walkies)

Waiting off site simply moves the problem elsewhere. And if there's any housing in the vague vicinity that then gets lumped with parking restrictions at best and double red lines at worst.

The drop off/pick up charges are greedy, but by the same token the world is also full of selfish, entitled arseholes so the any free DOPU areas get abused by people too retarded to use the car parks.

It's unfortunately a world that we've created for ourselves.
