    Gears? Good point. I like the XJR1300 'cos it will pull from any gear but the the 650 Strom needs the 6-speed box to be worked.

    I think a shorty SIII would be as good as a 90 - and much cheaper.

    The downside of getting a 90 is that wife says the P38A would have to go. The trouble is I'd get nothing for it - certainly nothing like what was spent on the engine rebuild. A perfect buy for D2 owner wanting a worked 4.6.

    My wife just laughed and said "Not true!"

    I was at KLR Auto this morning and mentioned it. I was then informed of a yellow D90 Td5 Xtreme that has just been traded. I was given an approximate price. I'm awaiting info on km and actual price.

    I think it's the one I delivered from the dealer a few years back.

    Perfect. Find a Td5 90, swap in the P38 motor and auto box, sell the Td5 motor and box.

    Ron, those 90's are really a beaut looking thingy.

    If the MR Automotive Auto transmission kit fits the new 2.2, keep
    the P38 and also buy the new 90.

    Why sell the P38, like my Disco, I would never get the money spent
    back and besides I would never part with it anyway.
    These things are keepers.

    Imagine a new 90 with an auto box. Crikey.

    Cheers.

    Robert.

    As much as I'd love to keep it, we already have 5 motor vehicles to register and insure and I don't drive the P38A that much and ride the motorbikes even less.

    The Puny has a much nicer dash setup, better seats(?) and better AC. All of that may be worth the extra $13 k or so for a new one???

    I would prefer the Td5 over the 2.2 though, however both go well when chipped, and the 6-speed is nice to drive.

    Plus - given your habit of buying faulty merchandise, you may really need a warranty!

    When the warranty runs out you can always have a TDV6 conversion done...
