Hard bit over

The 2.7TDi engine and gearbox is now in the Navara and looks at home. I used the Navara gearbox mounting and cross member the Navara  prop-shaft fitted perfectly. The 2.7TDi engine mountings fit straight on to the Navara chassis mounting points, there is even a threaded hole in the front of the mounting the same as the Maverick. The only other bit I changed over from the old Navara engine is the vacuum pump pipe which means the pipe will fit perfectly onto the Navara system, as if it's always been there. The power steering looks as if it might be more involved but that is for another day.

Fitting the engine and gearbox together was a lot easier than fitting the engine and gearbox separately, it just went in like it wanted to be there.
