Its just a case of keeping a eye out.

Post by: stuntman on November 05, 2008, 08:40:36: Can't really post any pics up, but I built a 110 CSW 300tdi for just over Â£3k, I could have sdone it cheaper, say Â£2k. But that was a full on rebuild from V8 CSW to 300tdi, using a disco I bought for the engine and box. I'm pleased with the results, but seriously for Â£2k you should get a nice one these days, but make sure you know what your looking at and that you have the sach in your pocket, you wouldn't belive what you can get off the price.
