Gear ratios are available on Service Citroen.

Might be worth a look on there to compare.

Both are ML5T but you'll find the HDi has either taller gearing, a taller final drive or (most probably) both

damn right!!

I need to sort out that strut top. I really should have sorted it before I tried the conversion.

HDi engine is out now

i'm terrible with following up ...

the engine is in ... it starts!!! so all signs point yes!!!

all it needs are a few minor bits and pieces, getting the rust sorted (again), and hopefully by next week i'll have the first RHD HDi 110 Activa!!!
