engine and mounts,  front wiring loom (and if you want to do it correctly - clocks and fuel tank and pump)..may also need the TDi's front shockers and springs as I cant remember the weight differences between the V8 and the Tdi....
Good luck, and welcome to MUD CLUB ;) :dance:

And the gearbox entirely, the radiator/intercooler and hoses, the airconn pump IIRC (what year is your car?).
