new engine

The easyest way to go would probably be to just get a better 200tdi or you could get hold of a 300tdi with the r380 gearbox already together, that way you shouldn't have to worry about adapter plates;)

CHEERS TIM.

But hey, when/if the gearbox gives up the ghost, either fix it or swap it for a stronger one.

But the TD5 is a five cylinder :p

Isuzu 3.9 - yep would have to agree.

If this fits, it would be fantastic

4JJ1-TCS Diesel
The 4JJ1-TCS intercooled turbocharged engine was newly developed for all new ELF light duty trucks. In order to achieve fuel economy and cleaner exhaust emissions at a higher level, Isuzu developed this engine with its original cutting-edge technologies and created the world-class diesel with smaller displacement and super-turbocharging. In pursuit of compact, and light-weight engines with higher torque per displacement, various performance required for engines such as fuel efficiency, light weight and environmental friendliness were totally improved.
