If your going to be travelling round Oz for a while I'd choose a diesel too, if not for the fuel consumption then for the underwater ability that comes with it, just 1 less thing to worry about.
Are you in the US or in OZ now?
If I was in your situation i'd do the engine change too rather then swapping the equipment over. Oh FYI a defender TDI will NOT fit in to a disco!

Thanks, that's what I like about this Forum, there's always some good blokes willing to help with good information.
I'm in Australia, in the middle of a bitterly cold Winter, you know it dropped down to 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Farenheit) last night, LOL.
One more question, how do you tell apart the physical difference between the 200 and the 300 from a wrecker, is there anything that distinguishes one from the other, also in the vehicle or does it depend on the build date, once again thanks to all for their invaluable help on this subject, Regards Frank.
