i know how much time and effort you have spent getting your current motor working well, and i know some people have suggested it before mate, maybe it is time to cut your losses and sort out the diesel motor. it would cost you more than 4700 tho right? i think rossco said his setup cost around 6K or more?
Yeah Rossco's was about the $6000 mark but he bought his stuff from Patrolapart and said he thinks buying another car is a better option as there were too many little things that he needed that you dont know about until you are into it.

I need to have a serious talk with Mags...... roll over from the auctions maybe??? I have spent so much on this thing lately.
