Possible ? Dont like common rails , got working 300s spare , like the 2wd option on ps10 that I dont get on Disco , cant drive comfortably in a deepender....

....engine management system problems aside of course !

hi mr shocker and ?

Hi JM ! Back from the dead again , me that is . Almost had it this time , head , neck , back , leg injuries , stroke , right arm paralysed and lost speech and couldnt walk for a while.........coppers on scene said they had never seen anyone survive a crash of that type before .....being cornwall I had the wreck towed to the side and had borrowed a brush and shovel and had cleared one lane of traffic by the time they rolled up.....I then passed out as the adrenaline wore off . Car taking me to hospital later crashed after hitting a deer , hit my head again and then that night I was attacked by an escaped mental patient who hit me the head for 10 minutes before I passed out - I had a paralysed right arm at the time and was in a very bad way and couldnt defend myself .

ANYWAY.....I am starting to think that constant 4wd and auto doesnt mix well in danger situations . The last 4 auto D1s I have crashed , I never had an accident ( a ROAD traffic one , anyway !) in a manual or any other car before of any seriousness .

So , I cant fit into a deffy so I have been looking at Santana as they have the 2/4wd option , have a cab I can drive in and are more reasonably priced . Problem is I dont like common rail engines even though the Iveco 2.8 is reckoned to be a good 'un .

So....like the title.....can a 300 be dropped into a Santana without too much embuggeration ? Engine management aside ?

Failing that , could a transfer box giving 2wd option be scabbed onto a RRC or an lt77 out of a 200tdi D1 ?

Grasping at straws I know but I have been driving a , cough , ahem , pajero since my accident in july and I want to stay landy but stop crashing .

no one ?

just stick to the 2.8 a 300 would probs fit as its a 110 chassis so new mounts and its an lt77 so should mate up too with minimal mods I'd think

you would say that cos you is evil and common rails is made by Satan , innit

I'd trade you my 300 engine for a 2.8 but I need it cos I can run that on oil
