Nodge, just re-read your last post. Yes, you could make it FWD but to utilise the Torsen diff from a T-16 turbo you would still need to use the ZS180 PG1 gearbox/flywheel/clutch, but the Torsen diff is a straight swap into it. I've got a hankering for a full T16'd Freelander Commercial...

The T-series box won't fit as the bellhousing bolt pattern is different, same case for the 1.8 K-series box I'm afraid.

Hope you haven't paid over the odds for it, it's just a bog standard K-series after all, the Metro boys make that mistake all the time! All but the very late S1's were dizzy, but either way it's a simple case of just swapping the inlet cam from engine to engine if needed. Your FL loom will plug...

I actually don't think this is possible without going FWD unfortunately. This is due to none of the donor boxes available having the appropriate IRD mounts cast into the diff/bell housing. Yes, the ZS180 has the PG1, but to mount the IRD you'd need the bellhousing of a Di to facilitate the...

Hippo, I have a 52-plate with folding mirrors, is the auto-fold on locking a function that can be set-up via T4 if I have the mirror ECU fitted?

I have some I will add later today of work so far

Also, the sump and manifold swap isn't necessary for the FWD conversion, I'm just doing that as my main cat was buggered and I have a set of ZS180 manifold which feature the cat in them. It just requires the ZS sump for the room need for said cat in them, so will only cost me a couple of laser...

I want to keep it auto hence why sticking with a Jatco box, also saves doing any potential wiring. It's actually turning out to be quite an easy swap. The gearbox is a straight swap. Took the shafts to my engineers (bang opposite my workshop and really good!), the N/S shaft requires the inner...

Auto not Auot!!!

I was on here with a different username but for the life of me cannot remember what, so I've signed up again. I have a Freelander 1 V6 auto. I bought it cheap a couple of years ago with HGF. As an Ex MG-Rover tech (now run my own garage) it was a walk in the park, soon after the VCU seized up...
