MTyrrell:
Thanks for the info, will be going to have a look at the engine tomorrow to make sure it's sound. From a K plate disco with a 115 thou on the clock.

 I've been thinking, which is dangerous, would it be as easy to swap the exhaust manifold for a defender one with a defender turbo to save the custom down pipe? Or is that a daft idea and I should stop been a tight fisted git and get the exhaust section from Steve parkers.
......I vote for the latter.

Xtremeteam:
if you can get a def inlet manifold ,exhaust manifold & turbo id advise you to swap it as this will do away with the custom pipe,
however to buy them new your talking £500+ & 2nd hand non existent,if you can get the def set up do it but they are really hard to come by

stefan:
I've heard that it is not just a straight swap for the exhaust and inlet manifolds and turbo.

The downpipe although at £105 + VAT/DEL is pricey, it does save a lot of time and hassle, and fits beautifully.

I've uploaded a load more pics to the mods page on my 90 website

You'll also find that the front cover set up is completely different...
so to add to that list you'd need:

defender spec front cover,
defender spec water pump,
defender spec alternator set-up,
defender PAS pump and brackets,
AFAIK the injector pump pipe work is also different, as pump sits in a slightly different place on the front cover

And probably a few other bits....

Thought it wouldn’t be worth it. New defender parts ore expensive and second hand one are imposable to find. Thanks anyway

 I went to have a look at the enginethis afternoon. It was still in the disco so had a chance to hear it running. Was on top of a shipping container at the back of the yard by the looks of things it had been there a while. The battery was dead and the throttle cable was jammed. Don’t think it had been started for a while. Put a new battery on it and it started first time, doesn’t smoke or breath. With a bit of luck I may have a Tdi by the weekend.
