Wow, bet it's a dream to drive on and off road with so much torque! Yours an auto did we decide?

That would be monstrous!

Yep - auto. The TGV is meant to chew up manuals pretty quickly but as I don't have a manual I can't say for sure. It would benefit from the bigger V8 torque converter.

Lovely to drive off road. There are some green lanes nearby (nothing too tricky) which I drive most days when picking my daughter up from nursery and it pretty much trundles though between tickover and 1200 rpm.

Lovely to drive on road too. Still debating a Defender transfer box though.

A right proper job.

If you don't mind me asking, what sort of price was it for the conversion?? Cheers

6k

It came with VNT Turbo, starter, alternator, fuel pump, exhaust, etc.

Was that drive in - drive out or supplied only?

Drive in-drive out. There's no way I'd tackle fitting an engine. They get to keep the old lump too but then I don't think it was worth a great deal.

I never asked about supply only but I guess it would be cheaper.

6k is a big lump of money, sheesh!
