V8 to TDI
« on: February 23, 2007, 10:13:35 »
I may have aquired a V8 Discovery 3.9

Whats involved in converting it to TDI??

I know there easier options but just need to make a informed choice

engine - front end wiring loom, clocks (so tdi works the rev counter)
and if its a auto - then you'll need the torque converter adapting to suit the lower revs of the Tdi
