No probs mate, and I was thinking it should have been an LT85 myself. As
far
as the swap goes the output flanges on the B-W are further forward which
necessitates using the correct propshafts which I had forgotten about. :-)

I was going to put a ZF auto box in my RRC which has a factory fitted 200
Tdi coupled to an LT77, and I have an engine backplate which was
supposedly
from a 200 Tdi with ZF auto but I don't know if it's the correct one or if
I
need a different bellhousing for the box and consequently I have two ZF
auto
boxes langui****ng in the back of my garage, one with a B-W transfer box
and
the other with the LT230, but they are both configured to fit a V8.  By
the
time I find the right bits it looks like the body may have rotted away by
then.
