On a '98 Disco 1 the trans is fully hydraulic, the ECU doesn't go near it.

TDi 300 or 3.9 ??

Sorry I should have mentioned that it is a 3.9. I have an inject 4.4 Leyland I will most likely transfer as well it cost me $6000 to built and only done 3000 km as I believe it would be cheaper them working the 3.9 to get the same grunt.

I still got it, I cut it down to a flat tray ute. Missed paying the rego about 6 years back so it has been a garden gnome since. That is where I am getting the maxi's motor etc from, I am toying with the 5 inch lift been transferred as well. I was talking to a mate last night he reckons give the auto a go I was worried about engine braking coming down hills with it mainly. I remember that trip has to be ten years now I think Tonka came aswell with the bob tailed yellow hilux I think it was an outer limits 4x4 trip.
