ive nearly finished fitting the TD in to my sereis, all that needs doing is the engine mount, wiring it up, fuel lines and putting the front end on.

Is it a hard job?
(fitted a tdi into a series)
I have thought about doing this too
:?

muddy_90 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 13, 2006, 17:24:05 »

its not that hard, all u have to do is cut the battery tray out as the injector pump will hit it and to cut the drivers side engine mount on the chassis and fab one up and the wiring and the fuel lines.

Should go like stink once that's been done - My 110 can shift and it's bloody 750kgs heavier.

thats a TD he's fitted,not as tuneable as a tdi

Looks good, is it just bolted straight to a standard series box?

ian_s · « **Reply #10 on:** July 16, 2006, 14:26:28 »

what exactly are you doing for the engine mount?

i need to do the same for fitting my 200tdi, and i'm at a bit of a loss what to do.

can you take some photos of that engine mount if you've done it already?

Cheers
Ian

yeah it bolts striaght on to the series boxwith out any problems aprt from lining up the clutch plate and the shalf on the gearbox.

ian_s, i ve been a bit busy at the moment so i havent had time to make the mount but as soon as i get it made ill take some pics for you

ian_s · « **Reply #12 on:** July 17, 2006, 10:15:31 »

i've had a good look at it now i have the engine in, and i've decided on what i need to do

i'm gonna use the mount that was bolted to the 2.25 on the drivers side.
turn it upsidown, and its exactly the right size to just weld onto the chassis rail. does this sound like a good idea?

muddy_90 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 17, 2006, 10:43:28 »

i was going to do that myself, i weld it on to a bit of plate first to spread the weight for when it came to welding it on the chassis but ive never got round to doing it and i thought that it might not get thought it mot with it mounted like that

ian_s · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2006, 11:11:38 »

i cant see that being any weaker than anything else i could construct.

the other thought i had was to us the remnants of the old mount the i cut off. its got to be strong enough as it held the old engine fine.

ian_s · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2006, 22:49:13 »

well, its done now, i've just welded that old mount onto the chassis. will get some pics tomorrow.

muddy_90 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 23, 2006, 18:52:04 »

muddy_90 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 28, 2006, 09:20:01 »

Very Nice Work =D>

muddy_90 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 13, 2006, 17:01:08 »

fitted a front roll hoop today.

i now fitted the oil cooler, 11inch brakes on the front, fuel lines are done.

just need to sort out the exhaust

muddy_90 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 09, 2006, 22:51:41 »

now fitted a home made snorkel and been fitting defender spats.

RCRockCrawler · « **Reply #26 on:** September 15, 2006, 21:35:20 »

That looks brilliant! Spats aren't really to my taste, I'd only use them if I was fitting wider axles. I'd love to do something like that with my series, but my welding isn't really up to scratch at the mo'

blackbob · « **Reply #27 on:** September 15, 2006, 22:57:36 »

looks good i take it your fitting bigger tyres :D

muddy_90 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 18, 2006, 21:52:24 »

spats r now black, gave the roll hoop and bumper a coat of hammerite and also painted the bits that r meant to be galvanized.

ive all ready got 33" tyres but thinking of get some 35" BF muds

Littledan · « **Reply #29 on:** September 18, 2006, 23:17:33 »
