    X 2 with 4.3LXJ.

    Might need to check/swap, handbrake cables and tailshaft as well. ?
    I hate watching simplicity and reliability being ruined by bureaucracy and technology.

    thanks, I plan on doing it next Saturday. I bought the 01 and was planning on giving the 91 to my daughter..... bit I'm kinda attached to the 91 so I think I'm gonna keep it and give her the 01
