Another 205 STDT arrived today. Much more solid than the other one. Plans are, pull the engine out of the xantia, weigh in the rest, put engine in 205. Pull fuel pump off, tweak slightly*, make an adapter plate, fit TD04 turbo from a Subaru and have some fun with my lad doing it. Been a while since ...

It'll be the weekend now before I can get near it again. Had the day off today and employed someone else to help, so need to go back to work and earn some more money.
Not least as I have another incoming project I'm far more interested in.

I assume it's not immobiliser/alarm then? as I think they normally cut the fuel pump too. No, I changed the immobiliser and ECU at great cost already, it's a signal issue, probably the ignition switch. I'm not taking the dash apart to change it, I want to put the interior back in, after having to r...
