Possibly from a late D8 but it'd be a hell of a lot of work. It'd probably be cheaper and easier to actually buy an HDi...

Your old d-turbo unit will pretty much run on it's own accord but the HDi is far more complex and more like a Petrol in terms of all the sensors, not to mention the Vacuum solenoids for the EGR and Turbo and all this stuff will not usually come with a Donor engine and of course the wiring looms will be different etc etcsteve_earwig wrote:Possibly from a late D8 but it'd be a hell of a lot of work.

Not impossible but you'd need to be a *really* keen mechanic/auto electrician.

As for people who pronounce the letter H as haitch instead of aitch, this really used to get on my tits until learnt that these people were so certain that their pronunciation was correct that you could win easy money off them in a bet. Even after they handed over the money most of them insisted that the dictionary was wrong because their teacher had taught them to pronounce the letter that way. A high proportion of haitchers seem to come from Ireland where perhaps haitch is the correct pronunciation
