Thanks I hope you enjoying your conversion

Hi Liam What mount did you use for the gearbox. I understand that the xfer box used its current mount but how did you end up mounting the 6 speed box ?

Okay thanks

Hi Liam firstly thank you for sharing all your experience and valuable info regarding the M57 conversion. The 1st pic relating to the engine mounts.. There are 2 mounts on the one side. What is the other mount behind for? I have a 300tdi 90 With galvanised chassis.. Is there a company that makes a bolt on kit to mount the M57 engine and BMW gearbox without the need to weld? Much appreciated Mellin

Hi guys the permanent live - 'purple wire' seems to have no power on my defender. after tracing from the hazard light switch it seems to be cut off in the radio compartment , if I connect 12v to the line I have hazards. I would prefer to have the original connection linked back to the fuse box. could any of you please tell me which fuse number it connects to and the purple wire joins to what color wire at the fuse. I have checked the fuse box and cannot pickup the purple with brown strip wire. much appreciated
