Yo everyone, just a quick one. Got a 1.9 straight d s reg 306, I'm after someone to put a dturbo engine in for me. I've yet to get the engine etc but just looking to price it up? I'm in South Yorkshire. I have actually got teddys old 106 xud conversion (gearbox prob atm) not sure if it would be the option to swap them?
Cheers

It really is pretty simple on the XUD9, as long as you aren't swapping between phases as some of the plugs (like oil pressure sensor) are different but its nothing a soldering iron won't fix. Really the engine only needs 2 wires to run and is only held in by 3 bolts (and the exhaust, fuel lines and wiring)

To be honest I'm pretty much not mechanically minded at all haha, I'm only a shop lad :p haven't got the correct tools or knowledge. I'd love to swap the 106 engine but it's just something I won't be able to do..

Not sure if sambarker still does mechanical work but he'd probably be able to do it in a day.

I'm guessing all I would need is the xud engine? Any engine mounts or exhausts etc different?
