    Graz, I have fitted the GKN Overdrive (imported from UK, cost around $3.5k). Makes a huge difference - drops RPM to around 2150 @ 110 km/h. Big reduction in noise. Haven't noticed a big change in fuel consumption, but with my truck it alwasys seems to return ~12l/100 no matter what.

    Does anyone know a reason why a TD5 can't be converted to diesel - gas?
    Just I have only seen mention of TDI's being converted.

    Thanks
