just as a side note
the disco 300 & defender 300 are identicle engines in fitment bar the air filter set up & front pipe for the exhaust (depending on age as some have fly by wire throttle controls )

to make it fit you need to mod the turbo downpipe,now you can chop it up & weld it back together like what i did or buy the steve parker 1 at circa £100,
know my work is currently doing this convo to a customers vehicle & the last batch of manifolds (12 of) didnt even hit the shelves,went straight out to punters,
anything else shout up or PM me

Hi graham2306 you could buy my spare 300 Tdi defender turbo with manifold and down pipe for £100 :D :D
It will make the transplant alot easyer
Cheers Landyash :)

AFAIK (dont quote me) i dont think a 300 turbo & manifold fits a 200 engine,also the pipework is severly different,just fitted a 300 into an ex 200 90 & all the 200 pipewprk is now on mine as its now where near the 300,also the intercooler is slightly different

My engine expert says it will go, I'll just have to get a Defender radiator/intercooler, but he's an expert on Japanes engines.
I've read something somewhere about the turbo being too high.
Anyone done it?

Just about to do same thing with mine, I'm told the disco rad and intercooler are better but The mountings need to be modified, but happy to be put right on that and anything else.The Steve Parker manifold is supposed to make things easier.There were a number of posts and pointers when I raised the issue a while ago if you look back a bit.
Keep me informed if you start it soon I'll pick youxr brains.
Good luck
