Ive a '84, t25 caravelle needing a new engine. At the moment it has a (dead) 1.9 df in it....
Would i need another df to replace or can i bolt in a 'dg' instead with minimum fuss? what will the difference be? what would i need?
Ive been looking around for a df (for ease i guess) and its been recommended to just get a dg as their more powerful. but is it alot of pi$$ing around?
help.... im confused
A new engine.... df or dg?
