The MTDi was a beast it had Simon Baxter's hand built pump on it, I built the gearbox for it for a 5 Cylinder Audi engine but Russel persuaded Ian 4 cylinders was the way to go It sounds like that's what Jon was talking about to me, and according to him that's why the engine went.. So what would yo...
