200tdi into a series3
Dr Neil:
the engine will bolt straight onto the series bell housing after you have removed one o the studs on the engine. the engine mounts off the series bolt straight onto the tdi. The un starts when it comes to the radiator and exhaust.I will give Stanton boy a wake up call and get him to PM you the details as i work with him every day!!
hope this helps Neil :)

WOW its that easy to fit a 200 into a series :shock:
was expecting a hell of a lot more than that..so really main stumbling points are exhaust and rad.. well exhaust is a simple (ish ) fix, and i presume a 90 td rad would do the job, may have to 90 the front end tho'
Dr Neil:
Stanton boy kept the origional series front,he fitted the disco rad and intercooler. other than that it was just sorting out the electrics and plumbing!!
When we did his we took the standard diesel engine out and fitted the 200tdi lump in in one night, it was the other bits that took the time!! If i remember correctly he used the series pressure plate and the disco friction plate, though i could be wrong :)

thanks neil, i remember talking to Chris about this a while ago when i bought a diff off him. his is slightly different cos it were a disco engine, whereas i have a defender one. but the theory is the same.
someone might be getting me parts of the exhaust off a 90 200tdi, which i can cut and shut to make it fit.
the worst part is the gearbox, as mine went titsup today. at least it happened before i put it all back together with the new engine
cstokes:
Defender engine is an easier to fit than a disco engine, because of the exhaust, but that is all. All of the other fittings, intercooler, radiator, gearbox mountings and engine mountings are the exact same procedure for both the disco and the defender engine.
I have a word document that i have compiled, if you want a copy pm me your email address and i will send it to you.
