Yeah that would be good if you could. Would appreciate it.
Lots of conflict about the TD's and TDi's on this forum and every other!!!
I let you guys battle it out before i can have my own opinion!!!

Sounds promising! I am up in Birmingham (at uni) a lot of the time but i live in Devon. Where abouts is it situated??

I have some mechanical knowloedge and my girlfriends grandad is a mechanic and has a full height hydraulic four post ramp in his garage so somewhere to carry out the swap shouldnt be a problem.
Swapping engines - easy or hard what about Discos into Fenders - what needs to be changed?? Bell housing??
-
So for general mucking about pay and play days and laning its fine then?? Just make sure i choose carefully!!!
It also would be towing a boat around 2 tonne that should be a doddle yes??

Thanks for the quick response. I thought about the older engines but have read the NA will run forever but is very slow!! I know they are no Super charged RR sport but still!! and the TD can go bang (from overheating)
I might think about a Disco for the money.

Yeah thats a good view to take. Body panels seem to be expensive in the main. I have looked at quite a few but a a picky bloke and want te best i can possibly get for the money. I might save up a touch more and try for a Tdi even though i have been given good advice from people who have TD's. It all depends on what your using it for. I just want to go laning and P&Ps so i am not too bothered about a few dings and scratches as i have another car to use if its off the road being repaired!!
I am going to get in touch with a guy who Mark 90 put me onto about a TD so i will go and have a look a that.
Then when it goes bang i will try and source a tdi from a disco. I have quite a few options so its just a case of mulling over them and making the right one!!!
