Disco 200Tdi in a Defender??
graham2306:
The 200 tdi lump is out of the Disco, I want to get the head off and have a good look at it. One core plug was leaking and the keyway in the crank may be damaged, so few jobs to do on it before the swap takes place. have just renewed my insurance and the insurance company say they will still insure it once it is done, so that's one problem less.
On the heater plug point, do 200Tdi engnes have a relay? All my previous diesel Land Rovers have been turn the key for 20 seconds then start it up. You aren't suggesting that Land Rover have gone all upmarket and have a relay to turn them off are you?????

Have got the lump in bits and bottom end is knackered. Wooodruff key has gone, taken cam gearwheeel with it. Have found another bottom end from a friend of a friend but am missing the pulley and gear wheel so if anyone has them in good nick let me know as new price is around £150.

Does anyone out there know If I can use the Disco Bell housing, gearbox and Transfer box easily? It looks like the Disco box is a recent re-build and with the clutch being on the other side that would solve the exhaust/clutcg pipe problems. I also see from others comments that the 90 bellhousing doesn't have the same hole pattern as the Disco engine and some messing about is needed so as a bare minimum we thought we might use the disco bell housing. I am off out to do some measuring, but all input from you lot greatfully recieved.

how is the conversion going or has it gone.....no body has replyed about the disco gearbox is it fit..... I am just about to get into all this job so any help on your conversion would be greatley recieved....
Xtremeteam:
if you use the disco box you will either have to either chop the seat box to fit or fit a defender rear remote casing so the gearstick is in the right place,
if you use the disco box you will need to remount the gearbox,tbox & make new engine mounts,
if you use the defender box you fitthe TD engine mounts tot he disco enge & it all lines up bar the hoses :wink:
