    Very interesting, I have a 300TDI with 309000Ks and was thinking of replacing the old girl but if there is another option that will give her a life extension for under $7000, especially when you look at the prices there asking for latter model 4x4s it could be an option

    one thing they didn't cover was fuel consumption?

    Doesn't Sound any quiter than a 300tdi. I was thinking of doing this to my D1 but I want a Manual gearbox not a slushbox. Looking at the engine bay, way too much electronics for my liking. I still have hassles with the other electrical crap attached to the engine (Immobliser/Spider).
    I am up to my 3rd Re-Soldering of the connections. When I have it out this time I will make up a whole new PCB(Board) for next time and re-do the complete Immobiliser. will post circuit diagram once finished.
    I think I'll stick with the 300tdi and get it to produce slightly more torque for towing and keep my fuel economy.

    Cheers

    Hmm, I believe from the video that they guy was manually changing the auto when on the road, and I speculate that this was because they did not have a kickdown cable connected.
    Easily overcome by adding a 4HP22E and electronic controller but more money.
    Still, would be great in my RRC, but so would a Mercedes 3litre. What happened to the person who was going to look at the electronic issues, seeing teh merc comes in a van.

    Regards Philip A
