it'll have a type 9 gearbox with a long input shaft (like the V6 ones) and a slightly longer bellhousing to match

Diff ratio may suit the BECers asit is a higher ratio. Can't remember the ratio now

The 2.3 Peugeot engined sierra had the 3.15:1, the 1.8 TD usually had the standard 3.92:1
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Rear drums will give better brake balance as well - and an easy handbrake pass.

most of the 1.8D's I've seen have had 3.62 diffs - but the vin plate will soon tell you
