I would if I could mate

Depends on what you are looking to spend and how much you'd get for yours if sold

Not afraid of a bit of haggling to a forum member

[J i m s t e r]

If you know a 3.0 is enough, just get shut of your 2.4 and get a 3. There are plenty about and if you choose wisely, you won't have any lingering snagging to do which may result from a cheap engine swap.

is that all the wiring done then? for speedo for instance?

No.

I do mail order, plug and play Lexus engine looms now for £150. Send me the loom with all the ECU plugs and I'll send it back with it's own fuse box and relays, then it's only four wires to connect to get the engine running.
If that helps.

After talking to the wife about a few things , we have decided the surf is a must have vehicle , but it needs more power .
But it needs more power .i know the easiest option is to pay vince to put a lexus v8 in it . but that is not a option as i cant afford that sort of money .
So the questioins now are ..
1, what other engine options are there to replace my 2.4 lump
2, how hard is it to convert it to a 3 litre diesel (i.e what would need changing other than the engine itself)

any help would be appreciated

You could always buy mine

Yes you biatch. Bet it looked good our trucks stood next to each other at the lights though

Yep! Spotted you a mile off (quite literally) and caught up in no time!

I always think they look bigger moving... it's not often I get to look square on at another vehicle to the side of me, then to the back of me, and then just a dot in my rear view mirror...

What's up Steve, you got left for dust by another 3.0 surf or something?

But Vince says only 4 wires to go, even I might manage that without a fire.

And when you've finished fitting it Vince will be able to sell you one without all the melted cables ...
