African Sky Jock Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I have a 110 SW 2.5 petrol. It is a bit sick at the moment, and requires the following: Uprated suspension as Armstrong units can't keep up with the African road system and daily off road commute. It needs a complete new wiring loom as it's a right old mess, new alternator, ideally I would like to ditch the heavy, scuffy welded steel hatches in the roof and fit a new roof, etc... I have a new chassis to start the rebuild with. I'm torn between keeping it stock and refurbishing everything, or going for a 300 TDi engine, truck cab rear and ditching the rear doors, full canvas tilt and external cab / internal rear roll cage. The cage and tilt could be fabricated locally. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to the local yard to see what I can find. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The TD & N/A diesls are virtually the same diemensions except for the turbo obviously, IIRC the engine wiring loom is common to both & can be used on a 200Tdi engine, my 200Tdi is wired with the original TD engine harness as are almost all other 200Tdi fits.
