200tdi into a series3

<< < (3/3)

extreme90:
mite be missing something here, but you need a tdi rad, for the intercooler,
i would have thought that it would be easyier for you to convert it to a  defender front, more room for the rad then
that is what i did when i fitted a 200tdi into a friends series, which incidently some one on this forum owns now, just havent seen it around yet  :(  
just to help out...its a big green land rover  :P

with a 200tdi in..not many around so should narrow it down a bit  :P

cstokes:
The reason that i wanted to keep the series front is that i actually prefer it to the defender front, but for no other reason.  Like you say it would fit easier if you convert to a defendr front, but this has other implications, like by series has a winch onn the front which is set nicely between the front wings. If i had converted to a defender front then i would have to mount the winch further forward and that would ruin the excellent approch angle offered by a series landrover.

extreme90:
yes good point, errm headache time then lol, but its a land rover, theres a way around anything

ian_s:
there is plenty of room for the 200tdi radiator in with the standard series front end
if you look at a tdi 90 the cowling for the fan is about a foot deep.
i'm with StantonBoy on the frontend, i much prefer the look of the series3 compared to a 90.
I have been told that i might be able to keep the standard series 3 rad, but i would have to find an intercooler to fit in a different place, or i can fit the 110 rad and cooler unit.

the engine change is on hold for now as some parts are broken on it
