how long should it take? how much could i expect to pay for a good 200TDI? will i need to change anything else?
I would like to think i am a reasonably competent DIY mechanic but i have never worked on a landy before so i thought i had better ask the people who have, is there anything else i need to know that i havnt asked?
Thanks.

I thought it was easier to fit 300tdi discovery engine into 90 as engine mounts in correct place, and you can use the manifolds from the discovery, where the 200 tdi exhaust fouls the inner wing or bulkhead.

na its easier to fit a 200 disco engine as you use the TD engine mounts & it falls into place,you could throw the engine from 10 feet & it would land in roughly the right place for the mounts,the 300 engin sits ina totaly different place to the 200 & is slightly more work to fit

Thats how I did mine Mike, threw it in with a forklift!  Only problem we had was getting a spanner on one of the mounts, nearside from memory, but a bit of spanner bending solved that.  The Peugot 307 diesel air filter is working fine with a K&N element in it.  The temperature gauge reads high with the sender from a 2.5 petrol connected, but stays in the same place unless you really push it up a long hill.  The white faced bost gauge looks cool in the dash and was really useful for setting up the wastegate.  When I was setting it up had the boost at 1 bar at one point and it spun all four wheels changing up to second in the wet. I have just fitted an electric fan off of a Mitsubishi FTO.  Two speed so twice as cool.
