Reshelling into a perv...

[Just Sean]

Nah, you can literally drain the old tank of perv, drop in a HDi fuel sender/pump, replace the filler neck and lines and off you go.

Driveshafts are the same, engine mounts are the same, just pull out a HDi engine and it drops in. I did it XU10 to XUD9 and it was easy tbh, few little bits need adjusting. Looms should just plug straight in, BSI and ECU may have a paddy at the immobilizer, but long as the ECU is unlocked you're fine.

Exhaust, infact Petrol dials will actually work with a HDi - just that it goes to 8k but obviously it'll only go to 5k lol, gear rod etc is all the same, clutch cable I'm not actually sure for HDi, but just convert to an XU/D flywheel and clutch setup and use a proper pull clutch, not this shitty push style HDi clutch purely for lightness. Cooling system will need converting, but long as you've got a whole HDi donor car, you've got everything you need.

Long as you have the two whole, complete cars, you have everything you need to convert.

It's essentially plug and play other than the fuel tank, but the tank is the same, just needs bits changing.

I rekon it'll take you another 3-4 hours on top of a normal engine swap.

Thats incredible! Just made the decision a whole lot easier!

Have got lots of money in the clutch, but ill hang onto said donor vehicles gubbins for future. Think im getting a bad ankle from the heavy clutch in the hdi tbf!!

Thanks for the post ruan.
