Disco 200Tdi in a Defender??

<< < (4/12) > >>

graham2306:
Got myself a 200tdi out of a disco.  Does anybody know how much I'll have to modify the engine mountings?

You see I have a galvanised chassis and don't really want to hece to cut and weld the chassis.  Can it be done without?

fit the n/a  or TD engine mounts to the disco engine in the defender mounting holes & throw the disco mounts in the bin,puts the engine in the corect location aswell

Hi Graham

How's the conversion plans going, or is it done and dusted?

we did, or rather started this job last year, then a defender spec 200Tdi came along for a good price.

you'll need longer pipes to reach the oil cooler, either get the ones you've got made longer or source defender ones.

you will need a new fan shroud.

you may need to play with the wiring and glow plug relay set up, depending on what engine you've removed.

the exhaust is best done with the steve parker pipe.

the Rad frame will need modifying slightly.

some of the air and water pipes will need lengthening/ altering slightly.

you will need to think about the position of the air filter/ intake set-up.

the pipe from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder is very close to the new exhaust downpipe, you may need an exhaust heat shroud.

this swap is do-able, but its a fiddly job. there are a few people around who have done it, and every conversion seams to end up slightly different.

take your time, don't listen to anyone who hasn't actually done it, and don't throw anything away until its completely finished.
