So, if anyones been looking in the td5 section, my engines tried to kill me, a split injector oring ****ed diesel into the sump, causing it to run off on me during the test drive, long story short, if theres anything else broken in it that requires a shed load of work/money, im not going to do it, ive lost confedence in the td5 im afraid, so i will be swapping it, hopefully for the above mentioned HiLux, provided i find a suitable donor.
Questions are:
1: How much for a crashed, scrapped HiLux, 05-present Ballpark?
2: Is it difficult to reinsure after an engine swap?
3: how dificult is it to sort out ecu's, abs, tc and the likes? are the abs and tc seperate to the ecu in the td5?
4: Am i biting off more than i can chew trying to do this?
5: would i be better off mating the g/b of the defender to the hilux engine, or swap the whole lot?
Opinions anyone?
