Huh? Very basic english please, me bit fick! The " slip" is what locks stationary the pipe string that connects down to well head so you can add more pipe as you drill down deeper. You usually "case" the top section of the well (20-50ft) which is just an outer pipe casing so you have a clean and straight lined hole in which to drill your actual well into, stops mud, muck and god knows what else getting into your well. The "local surficial geology" means in plain english, what kind of ground are you sitting on? Clay on limestone, sand on gravel, glacial till (churned up soil left over from the ice age that has no real structure) or thin topsoil on bedrock? to give a few very limited examples. It can make a huge difference to the ease in drilling a well and the appropriate depth to find quality water at. Asking the neighbours where their wells sit at would be a good start. Here in Canada almost all rural properties are on wells, and just about every single holiday cottage is. Most municipalities offer free well testing for leached agricultural chemicals (ammonia from cow curse word, that kind of thing) and testing for e-coli and other nasty bugs. This would be worth your while reading as a basic guide. www.my-green-home-project.com/water-well.htmlhario - this will be a fun project, looking forward to seeing how it progresses Good question, My initial plan was to weld on lifting eyes onto each length of drill pipe and use a 4x2" timber A-frame with a block and tackle to hoist the string out (fitting the hook onto the eye below the drill pipe section to be removed. But I like the diea of using a slip so we will probably just cut one from some 1/2" plate as per the below images (engineering drawings). I have begin to radially drill through the swivel to allow the pumped water to enter the drill pipe bore, there are about 15 10mm diameter holes, I think I will need to drill more holes, as I have deecided to source a petrol water pump which pumps out of a 2" pipe instead of 1". This is because there needs to be enough water flow to lift the cuttings up the entire well 'annulus' (gap between drill pipe and well bore wall). Like I said the neighbours wells have statc water -7m below the surface, that will be sub-surface water table as opposed to aquifer. Because the plot is a natural clearing on the forrest, it has top soil down to a depth of 2 meters (yes thats right, 2 METERS!) and sandy sub soil for at least 2 meters below that. Below the sub soil will likely be a vein of clay / gravel / sediment before the limestone bedrock common to the region. Our drag type bit does not cut hard rock but I have bought some stellite hard facing rods to give the leading edge some strength to hopefully cut though some limestone if not just for the engineering challenge.. Hopefully there will be a test drill this weekend, I will try and make a video if I'm not too drunk / the auger doesn't kill me. Beers, H.

It is illegal to draw water from any surface streams and rivers but every farmer and his dog does it around those parts, and every local house has big brick and stone wells from ancient times so we are just going to join in!
Also the neighbours wells either side of the property have the static water level about 7m below the surface, and the hefty boat bilge pump I have can do a 10m head.
There are about a dozen 1m3 water container things in a caged pallet looking thing which I want to pump the well water into with possibly a solar panel / car battery / level switch with a timer type setup.

So background to the story is my parents have retired to France having bought a hectare about 50km east or Bordeaux, in a place called Blanquefort-sur-Briolance, and on that hectare they have planted the most almightly of vegetable patches, c/w chateaux: Water in France is relatively expensive and only available metered for consumption and waste, so when you water a hectare of veg you also get billed for the equivalent waste production, unfortunately there is no surface water flowing on the property, but as the hamlet is called Aigueparse which according to locals means 'water everywhere' I think their garden is a good candidate to drill baby drill! I'm going to copy these Texan yanks because boy they sure know how to drill sir. www.lonestardrills.com/water-well-drills/mechanical-series/ls100/Basically a small engine turning a drill string through a reduction box, with water / mud pumped down the middle which lifts all the cuttings out the hole. These cuttings are then settled out in the ponds and the water / mud is recycled. The cutter type used in mud/clay/sand cutting is a called a drag big so we designed one of those by eye: Migged with 1.0mm wire because nobody could be arsed to do it with the ark of doom. A technical challenge is pumping water into a rotating pipe, the yanks call it a swivel and it works like so: So I designed my own, the outer housing will ride on roller beaings sealed with O-rings probably: Finished, minus radial holes drilled for water inlet: The swivel is the size it is because we are using scaffold tube as a drill pipe which is 48mm OD, so I got 3" aluminium bar stock. Bearings will be retained with jubilee clampys first round, if it explodes due to water pressure then I'll come up with something else, probably from metal as per all my friends arguements, I'm just secretly happy I managed to use a bit of tuebo ocar in the construction.. Oh also the engine will be a standard china post hole borer with a 3hp 30cc engine and worm drive reduction box, if it's not powerful we will have to try something else, but this is Mk.1 and we will be drilling in redditch (thick clay seams) at the end of the month to assess feasibility first. I have a small Honda water pump for the 'mud pump' but its 1" hose outlet so we might need a bigger one of those also, anybody got an old Honda water pump going cheaps? Comments and ideas welcome, more to follow. Beers, H.

Awesome build, I've always appreciated the sheetmetal origami, and those hole swages are sexy.
Because racecar..

Have you considered leaving the 2/3 bolts off the sump to gearbox interface? As the 320cdi sump is partitioned internally so the oil would not be able to leak.
It looks like you have replaced the mercedes EGR valve under the plenum with what resembles a throttle body, is that an anti-runaway device?
Beers, H.

Deposit paid on the OM605 but thanks anyway, loads of C250TD's with short MOT's on ebay for dirt all the time if you need one.
Yes mate I'm friendly with the MOT man so hopefully I can get him to record it as an advisory as it's only tested on smoke output.
The plan is to keep it a secret from the ECU so it suspects nothing and keeps going about business as usual..

Just buy some cheap 4x4 setup like Tamiya etc, fill the differentials with glue and buy some drift wheels / tyres, they have hard plastic tyres.
Then get whatever shell as they can be drilled to suit whichever manufacturers body post positions assuming you go 1/10th.
I used to RC when I was young buy when I had another go recently I felt quite embarrassed being in my mid-20's....

Mercedes OM604 /605 / 606 - 4 / 5 / 6 cylinder turbo diesel? An entire rusty short MOT car can be had for £250. Find a manual one and fit a mechanical pump.
Though you may have to make adapters for the mounting arms.

when I see the thread title I think landrover... Me too! Why fit a V8 into a car which was already available (or a very similar one was) with the same V8?

There used to be an engine swap kit type thing to do it, was advertised in Mini Mag, I remember it came with 100mm hub spacers each side to move the rear hubs/bearings out to line up with the front track. And epic arches were needed, read: Miglia arches are needed (y).

Sounds like the trigger on the lance is not communicating with the solenoids in the box.
Can you open up the trigger mechanism and check for continuity? Sounds like there could be a broken or loose wire.

Sounds like you are well on top of things mate. Really liking this build. Tell me more about the EGR delete please. Thanks EGR delete on the c25OTD? Remove valve and fit streight pipe in the gap now there, blank vavuum signal hose, and make blanking plate to fit over the port now gaping in the exhaust manifold.

Wait, your keeping it auto? Yes the OM605 in the W202 and the OM606 in the W210 both came with the 722.6, and share bellohousings, torque converters, and flywheels (appart from the mentioned 5 & 6 tag issue). I will eventually fit a standalone gearbox controller allowing me to also fit a mechanical fuel pump when I go big power but they aren't very cheap. I would like to go manual, the 6 speed from the C200K is the easiest fit but it's still not very straight forward, and that box is not very strong either.. :/

Ah yes thanks for the reminder! The 606 magically has new glow plugs fitted!! And all EGR hardware has been deleted, and the C250 ECU does not have a MAF sensor so I don't have to fool anything to avoid limp, and its not an MOT fail, neither is a decat, chop chop chop..
O-rings have been replaced with Viteon equivalents for veg compatibility already thanks. Hard lines are fine, and expensive so they can stay" lol. I just pour neat veg into the fuel tank filler when its warm, and don't in winter..
To increase boost I think I will try a bleed valve at the MAP sensor signal, though it night delay fuelling and give too much lag.
For information: 605 flywheel has 5 tags for rpm pickup, 606 has 6, so flywheels have to be swapped to keep OEM ECU happy. Direct swap and so is torque converter.
