  4. Hi everybody I'm so glad to have found and joined this site. I have a 1990 R3m with a TD27t diesel auto and mainly use it to go fishing which involves a lot of sand driving, including some very soft sand like on dunes. This is where my problem lies. To use certain access roads to the beach means driving on some very soft dry sand. The track is no problem, but the last bit just before going onto the beach is a killer! I just dig in and can barely move. After talking to my tyre guy who also has a similar terrano to mine he explained to me that no matter how good the tyres are I probably won't get far with that diesel motor. He reckons you need to be able to rev up quickly and hold it there so the tyres can kick out the sand. This is better done with a petrol engine like the VG30. I don't have a lot of money so would like to know of solutions to a straight engine transplant without modifications to make the engine fit. will a VG30 go straight in? (mine being a diesel). Will the standard gearbox fit to it and what about the fuel tank etc? I would appreciate any suggestions at all regarding my situation keeping in mind a low budget.
  5. what is status?
