I am doing my research and while I am grateful for the link to your thread it did not make a lot of sense for someone like me who has not tackled this type of thing before. I am not a mechanic of any sort and am forced to do the conversion purely for financial reasons which means I cant afford...

Ok basically what im after is a list of required parts and potential problems to avoid. I need an engine and gearbox obviously, radiator but need a complete list if possible. Oh and it would be a.300 tdi as im told they are slightly better ln mpg
