steve's site does not mention the 1.9.. and i googled before i posted.. I'd like to see if i can bolt up a '07-on landie's 6spd gearbox to a series transfer case with some economical, but reasonably powerful engine - it MUST have a bosch fuel pump though, to be capable of running vege oil.. I've seen an R380-series trsf case conversion.. I don't want to lose the 2wd capability of the series vehicle esp as it already has freewheel hubs..
I've got a really early(tax exempt.. F you, gordon brown) S3 and although i love it to death, to me, part of the point of owning a landie is to mod it to suit requirements..It'd be an engineering feat i could be proud of to make a nice to drive, cheap to run, decent landie out of it).. Plus, i've made enquiries about insurance, researched parts etc.. I reckon i could get a year's daily running out of it for around the £500-750 mark - free fuel see.. if you catch my axle tramp...
