bezz i will mate lol ...will be seeing you at the bonfire anyway lol :lol:  :lol:

i replaced the old 2.5 n/a with the same as i dont intend hanging on to it  :lol:  the engines were slightly different and some of the bits had to be swapped over ,but what a difference an engine makes (quiet now lol)

i put power steering on as well which is freaking me out at the mo ,as i do half a turn and im around the corner as apposed to fighting with the wheel lol :lol:  :lol:

good luck with your new engine miniman im sure you will be like a dog with two (cough cough) tails  for a while ...i would have loved to have done that conversion but hey  :wink:  :wink:

I swapped from my 2.5 n/a Diesel. If you are good with a welder and have a discovery it can be done. Taken me 4 days start to finnish...

Not a job for a DIY FREAK you need some basic knowlage of motors and engines. The wireing is the same thats easy. The fuel system need a small change to pipes. The exhaust needs a convert or you can buy one ready made from Steve ParkerI think at about £115 I made my own dont like to pay silly money for somat I can make myself but it did take time...
