New ICE install![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
and this weekend i have been getting it ready for the daily roads
been undersealing. well not underseal, i've been told my a few people that this isn't the way to go, so this is old engine oil with a little deisel that has been spray on ![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
hopefully i've been told correct![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)

also bought from the states a Girling caliper rebuild kit
which should hopefully stop my rattling brakes

Been told by numerous "older" car enthusiasts about the old engine oil and diesel thing supposed to be alright for cresoting fences too!!!! it stands to reason that it should work. stereo is looking fresh as well mate.

Just read this all through purely because it's a diesel! I admire the way you can get things clean with the newness refitted. I've not got skill or patience to do it.
Just a thought on your brake issue - you have the diaphragm vac pump which is notoriously bad. Perhaps you have very little servo assist?

thought i better update this thread
well stanford hall didn't go so well as i broke down on the M1
not good times
got it home and did a compression test and something wasn't right
so the engine came apart
cyclinder head off and on the bench
normal cracks inbetween the valves
and this crack around the injector housing
so after it sitting in peices for a few month while prparing for the AGM, now it's over the rebuild will begin

picking the cyclinder head up from the welders today as he has fixed the cracked injector seat
also big thanks to GSF Leicester for helping me source all the parts i needed. Finding piston rings for these deisels is a bit tricky unless you wanna pay £200+ from VW
so after my holiday this will be going back together
