Fitting disco 200tdi to defender..
whitewolf:
Ok decided not to go with the V8 option, so i've bought a tdi motor from an early disco, complete :D .....is there any nasties I need to be aware of when fitting this engine??
looks like my clutch will be ok as will my starter motor ( according to parts manual ) am i correct here?
anyone else fitted this th their defender???
advice and pics woulkd be really helpful, thanks.

im doin the same conversion hopefully bloody soon,so far the only thing ive noticed that you have to do is cut the corner of the pas side footwell on the bulkhead & chop n weld the downpipe of the turbo si it points down inside the chassis rails,also have to get a different hose for the turbo outlet that is more of a V shape insteap of a 90' elbow,when u plannin on fitting urs as mine should be goin in next week when im on hols aslong as i get the disco finished
whitewolf:
Hopefully I'll be p[icking up the engine from yorkshire next weekend, I'll probably wait untill after Billing to fit it now thoug.
are you going to take pics when you fit yours??..be very helpful if you could :)
cheers......Heres to TDi power :D
