Why was that cover not supplied with the engine?

I don't know... They must've forgotten when they took pump out. They have it there just gotta get it now.

[AB]

Clutch done as well..

Did any oil feed hose for the vac pump come with that motor?

No mate but I've just blocked the feed for now and will just bolt your vac pump up for now simply to block that hole with no gear.

Could you use the old oil line from your original setup,

Nah the port is a long way from the pump. You can easily MacGyver something up though.

[AB]

Never ending...lol

Word from the wise is that the gear on the vac pump is pressed so I have to feed oil to it.

Back to a pirtek Monday for another custom fitting.

Just when you think you're sorted...

It's all great experience old mate, positive perception is the key to life ;-) !
You'll be able to strip down a 4.2TD from hands on memory like the QLDers in the middle of nowhere after all this ;-) !

And Auspost SHIT ME !!!! When we used to load Auspost out of Brisbane for Melb we had to overnight it or we would get deductions on the load payment , from (hazy ) memory anything over 19hrs penalties would start for each hr over . But now if i order parts & get delivery through them it takes 3-4 days so it seems it takes a long time for the courier to pick it up in Brisbane and take it to the depot and the same down this end 😤
