hey guys i own a defender 110 td5 was wondering how difficult would it be to convert back to a 300 tdi i have access to a 300tdi engine and gear box i did some research and found out that i will have to change engine brackets on the chassis. can i reuse the td 5 box once i change the bell housing and input shaft my box is in really good shape , will the existing hydraulic system still work slave etc? i own a tig welder so i was thinking of reusing the inter cooler radiator assembly and just make up some plumbing to fit the tdi . am i opening a can of worms or is it pretty straight forward ? Ive got the wiring figured out just wanted to make sure its not a nightmare to do the swap i just purchased the vehicle with the td5 that has a hard starting problem , not a big fan of the electronics wanted a simpler engine to repair if needed off road , thanks in advance .
