Do it in situ - no need to replace the cambelt or re-set the timing.
The only tricky bit is hooking up the spring inside the pump and getting the lever back on the spline in the right place. Takes me about an hour to do it (including governor modding whilst I'm in the pump ), but I've had a bit of practice at doing them.

Right after 6 months a bit of a update. I have just brought a Octavia with a alh engine. Now queue the abuse that the sump is different and water pump etc etc. And possibly the clocks. The engine has only got 100 thou on the clock. The fabrication side of things I can deal with. The wiring I can manage more than some in my own pace. I have just been a lazy tosser to not want to do it but with Mrs b and my five year old son chewing my ear off because they want to go out means it will happen. How long it will take? Dunno

i just need to get stuck in then i will learn. that's what i seem to have to do at work. went from being a general farm worker 2 years ago to a factory to do machine setting then ended up accidently turning into a.... i cant say I'm an maintenance engineer because i haven't got years of experience so i call my self a trainee maintenance engineer but the amount of shit i have learnt due to there not being another maintenance engineer there so i have had to learn a bit from my boss but he's just mental when it come to electrics (not in a good way) but also various mechanical stuff i have had to learn so yeah. only difference with this is if i screw it up i got to pay for it lol.

Right guys made a start to conversion this afternoon. Stripped and labelled the engine side of the loom and started looking at disconnecting the loom from the fuse box. Is there any diagrams of what's what on the fuse box just to be a bit more informative.

The loom to fusebox connections are 100% polarised - they only fit in one position.
It's CE2 electrics, common across virtually all dubs of the 90s
stuff here or google for CE2 fusebox
