bell housing difrent (td starter has 3 bolts,tb has 2 bolts) radiator,p/s pump, accelerator cable,tacho,alternater all diffrent.need to wire in glowplugs etc.couple of hours of wiring if you are confident with wires.i converted my gq a couple of years ago.very easy job:-)

HELL yes. loving it. used to have the carby drinking about 19-22l for every 100 k. down to about 10-12 these days.
