    A TDI does not have enough power for a 101 - certainly not enough to justify the cost of conversion.

    Te best diesel conversions I've seen in a 101 are a 6B Cummins (went like a rocket and did 14's all day everyday with fuel economy and a TD5, but the owner of that one - a Mechanic - said it was a nightmare conversion to do and wouldn't consider it again.

    If my V8 ever craps itself, I'll be thinking of a 4BD1T conversion and 5 speed - Ray from Roamerdrive is developing a kit to mate a strong, cheap readily available (in the USA) 5 speed to this engine and an adaptor to bolt an LT230 to the back of it. He's prototyping this conversion in a 101 as his current project.

    KLR gearbox

    Hi all,
    not sure of the details but I thought KLR in Sth Windsor were developing a 5 speed to work properly behind the 4BDIT --guess it is the massive torque that causes issues so does anyone know anything about their progress on this as I may want a 5 speed to do this soon?
    Previously I had a Mazda T3500 in my red 101 camper and I felt it went very well, used to do 16ltr/100 and it has a Samurai (UK) conversion--but realise it is now considered an old style motor, we had the standard RR4 speed behind it. Agree, don't bother with a tdi as they struggle even in heavy 130's. Alan

    I test drove one of their perenties which had the 5 speed. I have not heard about them doing it for others but I reckon if you asked they would do it.

    I was passing plenty of Ex army Perenties on the Hume Highway sitting on 105 kph coming back from Corowa with a stock 3.5 low compression LPG and a over drive.
    The problem was the muddies were sending me deaf and I had to wear ear muffs........

    You know who’s this is or just saw the ad? Is the winch complete? Looks like an Australian delivered unit apart from the bridge plate...
