or 3, someone is taking the p***?
its not a hard thing to do, but if you pay a garage they see $$$ signs.
I never cease to be amazed at just how much you guys seem willing to pay
A nice 200Tdi from a Disco is £175 to £250 here allow $1.51 to £1 as of this morning but allow £400 for Defender 200Tdi. 300Tdi is about £400 to £600
An ashcroft recon R380 on the new bell housing to replace an LT77 is £960
An MoT failed Disco that needs welding to the usual rotten bits, from £150
A D2 TD5 auto ES spec from 99-2000 £5k
My ex factory owned 110CSW 200Tdi cost me £1.5k but needed work (1989)
Fitting a 300TDi and R380 into a Defender is a weekends work with regular tea breaks
