    We’ve had lots of transits with the 2.4 and 2.2 and they’re bombproof
    I’m going down the 200tdi route…

    What’s a rough cost for a m57 swap with all the other necessary parts/extras which may include brakes, axel/diff exhaust and transmission? etc for a DIY job, as I still would like to have all the best parts from Mahkar yet still get hands on and install it myself, would this be a service that you can provide. Also keep up with the amazing videos, love watching them.

      I know it’s £25,000 for a basic spec conversion done by yourself, just interested in the difference in pricing that’s all.
