Hi What's a Steve Parker manifold? is there somewhere I can refer to for instructions on what needs doing to convert from the 2.5TD to a 200TDi? It's  sounding more daunting by the minute. I knew I'd need to source an intercooler (does the Disco one fit?) but it seems I'll need a new rad plus other bits.

you need an intercooler n rad,the disco 1 fits but have to mod the bottom pins sloghtly (move them i think)
all the intercooler hoses need to be made up to size,the air box needs to be relocated,either git longer oil cooler hoses made up or blank of the holes in the filter housing,put new ends on the fuel pipes (only 1 neds redoing as the others can be manipulated to fit) if you use the steve parker manifold you dont need to mod the bulkhead,move the clutch pipe over about 2 inchs to maintain air gap between it & the turbo,the engine mounts etc are the same,instead of studs you will need to put bolts in the bottom of the bellhousing (mind n remove the dowel on the pas side  :wink: )
there are a few other bits but ill try n remember what i had to do on mine

I'm not sure I'll be technical enough to do all that, sounds like I better try for straight swap for the 2.5TD
