Why did they move it all over to the right a bit?

So put a TD5 Bulkhead, Seat box and Floor plates in the 200tdi 90.

All ok until trying to fit the newer style gearbox tunnel.

It wont go as it wants the gearbox to be about 3 inches nearer the driver (RHD).

It seems then that 300tdi/TD5 engines (crank centres) have been moved over, but why?

Cos pre 300tdi's had LT77 gearboxes and 300di onwards have R380's.

Are you presenting that as the reason or just some sort of bizarre guess

It's the reason that the gearbox tunnels are different.
