Was thinking about you yesterday actually as there was a cheap mk2 golf diesel with 300km and w124 merc 3l diesel...with 500km.
Glad you are getting there. Was think about how is the fuel pump timed, and has it been set correctly.

300km?! Hope mine sees that many miles! Yeah getting there but it's taking awhile and hoping to use it for our holiday in a week! Also changed the offside front wishbone today, and doing handbrake cables and rear nearside bumpstop tomorrow... As well as alternator next week. Might as well get it all sorted! If I could work out this bloody fan I'd be happy.
Wouldn't fuel pump timing lead it to run rough?

If you're interested got new rad etc back on. Ended up cutting back some rust and repainting etc so took a bit longer than expected. Fitted new thermostat as well just in case. Temp from blowers is now much warmer, coolant returning from rad to expansion tank. Still overheating unfortunately but stops just under the 3/4 mark and returns to middle much quicker. Fan still not kicking in though which is a bugger. Got to test fan switch next. Mechanic replaced it but chance that's why fan not running.
