I just found this rather old article on here, very interesting as I am considering an "upgrade" to the 19J!
I currently have the 2.5NA which has a very leaky fuel rack. It's also very slow, I can barely get 60mph on the flat and I drop to 40mph on even slight hills. I do on the other hand get 29mpg, or at least that's what I got before the fuel rack went!
My mechanic said it's not worth replacing the fuel rack and recommended replacing the 2.5NA with a 200Tdi to get a lot more power.
I really wanted to keep the old gearbox as it's really in good condition, also I wanted to try to keep the Landy more original so he suggested going for a 19j which he has in his workshop. The 19j will drop right into the 2.5NA mounts and connect up to the old LT gearbox no problems.
If his 19J doens't work out he said he won't charge me and we'll just look at fitting a 200Tdi.
Yes, I know it's probably more practical to go straight to a 200Tdi but I like to be different and I quite like the old layout of the LT gearbox.
The 19J has god a PAS pump, I don't have PAS at the moment so my 110 HiCap is a bit of a struggle to steer!
I just wondered what peoples opinions are on this?
