D3 to D4 update.

I have an 05 Disco 3 HSE.
Main difference between D3 and D4 seems to be engine (2.7 replaced by 3.0), gearbox different number but same ratios.
Computer would need reprogramming.
There are probably other (non cosmetic) differences.

Quoted 29K to change.

What is viability of updating existing vehicle rather than changing? D3 HSE Diesel Auto 2005 Zambezi Silver.

I reckon it could be done.

Re bore the engine to a 3L
Get some black sponge and stick it to the dash


Any more ideas Question In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Get an inverter to run some of these and glue them to the head lights.
