Hi
I did a quick search in the archives with nil success.
Has anyone upgraded a 2.8 Turbo GU to a TD42T motor? I am aware of the drvrs side engine mount difference but what other challenges might I meet?
My donor vehicle has the complete driveline too if required.
Thanks
Peter

you will need to get move the engine mounts.
Not sure if you have to change the wiring loom though maybe some modifcations to it but not a great deal

Thanks for the feedback guys.
The loom looks to be the mystery bit.
Is there anyone out there who has actually done this?
Thanks
