Very nice look that!!
Thanks to this forum I was able to identify why my passenger side carpet was damp.
Removed the 'blocked' offending drain bung today and lifted carpet to stuff kitchen towel underneath in an effort to dry it out.
Checked the rest of the flooring out and it seems dry so, with a bit of luck, I'll be able to dry it out without removing the seat (I've just removed the kick-plate and pulled the carpet from the door seal for now)

Today I decided to change my starter motor on the POS.. It has been a dog to start for some time now, i had already fitted the biggest most powerful battery i could find in it and I had done the glow plugs and relay about 8k ago. It has a cleaned out inlet manifold, no EGR or swirls, new fuel rail and sensors, R80 fuel pump and bigger injectors plus my bold ole turbo. I figured there was not much left to try. So the theory of the lazy starter motor was about all i had left to look into.
A new starter motor from egay fitted this afternoon and it now starts straight away, even in this damn cold.
Mind you the job was a bit of a pig, i did not enjoy it, and the back of the engine bay looks like a crime scene with all the blood and scrapped off skin from my fingers and knuckles.
I had a few other jobs to do but they can now wait as i have had enough for today. At least this tractor engine will now start each time as I have not been enjoying my 20 second starts with a cloud of white smoke.
