Hi I'm changing from a rover v8! Only had a brief read of Glencoynes Web page. Will have a better look now. Cheers Richard

How do people, Following on from my previous post Re a 200tdi into my series. I've now got my 200tdi engine but need the mounting brackets that go on the engine to mount it to the chassis. Any ideas where I get them from?!! Ta very much Richard

Happy days! I love it when a plan comes together, hannibal!

Spoke to him and it's a disco 200tdi!! Phew
