Pay someone to do it!!!!! Unless you have taps, and allot of experience at it - just let an expert ream your wallet and you'll be better off in the long run! :D

Yup, fitted the Denco Diesel kit to mates GQ few mths back. Took a day, which included fixing snapped exhaust studs, and beers and lunch inbetween.

Not a hard job really if you have the tools.

The hard bit is gettin the fuel right. So if you can do the fitting, your saving a bit, that will be spent on gettin the fuel right.
