i wanted to do that when he beat me to that tdi :lol: :lol:

Sorry i beat you to the TDI, how is yours going now?
When i fitted the disce engine to the series 3, i didn't have to cut out the bulkhead.
I just sawed the downpipe in half, just after the turbo and twisted it about 1" , welded it back together so that it cleared the chassis, this brings the downpipe very close to the starter, which means thet to have to lose the starter heat shield and bracket. What i did was the wrap the starter in a heat reflective blanket. You should be able to get the blanket from demon tweaks, i got mine from graham goodes about £20 square meter.
As mine is in a series 3 i had to move the radiator backwards, so i had to lose the viscous fan.
Hope this helps

Rumour has it that a down pipe from a Saab car will fit , not sure which Saab model it is though so will need to do some diggin.
I wonder how easy (or not ) it is too rework the inlet manifold to raise the turbo up to where it normally is on defender 200tdi.
