    Hi all
    Looking into getting a Dell Quay Ranger 27 fitted with Volvo 110/200 setup, with the price of petrol I would want to convert it to Diesel. The drive legs are rated at about 110hp.
    Has anyone here fitted a non volvo diesel engine (perkins prima or such like) to a 200 volvo leg with good results and any tips for doing it?
    Was going for the prima as a Rover montego 2.0TDI is a prima, just needs marineising and they are cheap cheap though only rated at 80hp.
    Thanks
    Rob
