Over here on the wet coast, we just missed an all time rain record - so far we've had 26 days 
of rain, 28 is the  record. But it was warm and sunny today... so much for that.
There are several of us who've done the 1.6TD swap. Cruise on over to the Diesel-Vanagon 
yahoo group if you want to find more info. I assume you mean a Vanagon, and not an earlier 
bus.
