I've got one you in a truck running that I'll rip out for you. But it is in Whangarei so will cost a fortune to ship.

Yeah it will cost a bit to ship down here, but cheers anyway. Have found a wrecking terrano but dunno engine condition. Never done engine transplant before (have mates that have) so will be a good learning curve :mrgreen:
