Did a bit more Saturday and today, Saturday I removed the old oil cooler pipes that was still fitted to the engine ready to fit new ones when the arrive, I also removed the 300tdi radiator to make way for a new 200tdi radiator as when I fitted the fan belt I was struggling to get earlier this year I found that the fan belt was stopping the bottom hose to fit as the belt was right in the way of fitting the bottom hose, the radiator arrived today so I've fitted it and re-routed the bottom hose to fit the new radiator, then I fitted some new rear mud flaps I ordered as well, couldn't fit the fronts as the front wings would need fitting but i'm not ready to fit the yet, still got some more parts to arrive yet :)
