Simon,
in a moment of boredom last night i had alook on a salvage auction site and found a 01 320d that had hugged a tree broadside at speed. The passengers side was shaped like a banana but the front end and transmission area had survived, meaning engine, rad, intercooler etc were ok, and it was a runner. Not sure what it made in the end but was going for very small money and the auction was nearly over. I'd feel that the straight six might sit too far forward and upset the balance. Now that you mention ford, you could probably mate the TDDi or the TDCi to a type 9 from a sierra, as they share the same box (MT 75 i think) in the mondeo as the Zetec (for which there is an RWD adapter available). I'd ditch the DMF tho!! :evil: It was one terrible point with these engines as I found out in my 2.0d X-type (now running a heavy duty clutch and solid flywheel from a transit
)
Regards,
Dave
