Gearbox for 1,9 DG
Hi all, I found an engine to replace my decrepit WBX DG -- but it had a 5 speed box, mine is a 4 speed. Can't find any clue on wiki, can I fit that engine to a 4 speed ?

Re: T4 Autosleeper Clubman "motorhome"
Good point -- we're hiring a brand new 130hp this week for a flash trip down to Yorkshire, partly as a comparison.
So the driveway will have THREE campers on it on Wednesday!

Re: T4 Autosleeper Clubman "motorhome"
I want to find out what long-standing T25 owners [like me] might think about a Clubman type camper -- I've perused the T4 fora
I may get deep and sensible replies on here.

Re: Engine? --please do NOT laugh....
Really helpful advice, as ever -- thanks guys! It's a shame to mess with the GTi -- yes, it is around year 2000, and the absolute ideal would be to find a mullered engine which could then swap into the GTi and I keep a known v good lump in the van, if it goes in ok.
