P38 4.6 - diesel conversion?
« on: November 01, 2009, 19:24:53 »
Hello one and all, well my P38 (M plate) has now decided that due to a flat battery after being laid up, due to running hot, no longer likes the keys, luckily I left it unlocked.

Now is there anywhere I can get any info on swapping out the V8 for a diesel conversion?

I'm happy to do the swap at home, but surely someone offers a conversion kit?

Regards

Erm ... I've lost my keys darling ... again!
