on a similar vein to another recent post but this time on behalf of a friend.
How easy is it to take the petrol engine out of a 1994 G300 petrol and replace it with an om603, (out of a W124 saloon), as fitted to the G300D's of the same year. Any issues to be aware of

I think if you are only trying to reduce fuel bills then LPG would be a better idea. Save messing up a lovely vehicle toooo much

mmmm you might be right
it is a nice one anthracite with beige leather lwb 9 seater
but his idea was to run on veggie oil as well and it would probably cost a lot to trade to a diesel
