PE8W vs PD8W

Post by St1age »

Can someone tell me the difference between a PE8W and a PD8W Spacegear? LWB vs SWB? Engine size?

Thanks

PD8W: 2.8D/4WD/normal roof

PE8W: 2.8D (electronic injection)/4WD/high roof

I'm pretty sure they are both SWB but don't quote me on that

I've put it in the FAQ and L400 Technical Reference Library (in Shop Manual Downloads), is that good enough?
