Yes both diesels.

Mine had just over 160k on it when sold.

Mine was a 2012, his were both 2011. Both of his bought with low miles. He does about 60/70 k a year.

Going back to your thought about converting the air suspension to coils, I wouldn’t. The air suspension is brilliant, especially off-road, and it isn’t unreliable. Biggest cost is a compressor and I’ve needed one in ten years. When they do go wrong they need someone good at logical troubleshooting: people get understandably frustrated when they’ve thrown lots of expensive parts at a problem that’s really a damaged wire or a corroded connector.

Would you be able to fit the engine?

I would have to research the cost to get the vehicle up to you.

Not easy to find a good specialist that wants to swap an engine in my area.


Of course. Lost count of the amount of engines I have replaced over the years Laughing
