Some parts for the 200tdi are now made of unobtainium like cylinder heads. The 300 is easier to work on - easier cambelt change for instance. It has a better oil pump and the head is easier to change as the motor is futher forward in the chassis.

LT77 gearbox is a load of rubbish IMHO, but I suppose you can get used to it until it breaks. I prefer a gearbox where you can get 3rd from 2nd occasionally

Change yer oil then coz mine changes up and down the box no problems hot or cold and the V8'S used the lt77 coz it was stronger

I have had a 2.5n/a in mine since ive had it. It is a bullet proof engine. But it is slow as fook!! If you get used to the speed then its a good engine. Very easy to work on. Even if you are mechnically retarded like me!!

All that said though.... I couldnt get used to the lake of speed so I am dropping a 200tdi in it as we speak!!
