cost to fit 200tdi
jamesledingham:
Hi Tom, I see you're in Worcs.
I've a 90 TD and will want to fit a TDI at some stage. I live just outside Evesham.
If you do fancy giving it a go yourself I'd be happy to come and lend however much of a hand I am able to. Would be good to see how it's done.
If space is the problem, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to use a bit of our driveway?

--- Quote from: "tom38" ---been quoted £2000 to supply and fit a disco 200tdi engine in my 90 this is to include the engine having a new head gasket and cam belt fitted does this seem a reasonable price or not as i have no idea ? :?: :?: :?

For that much money I'd expect a proper Defender 200Tdi engine to be fitted... not a Disco lump.
I've recently fitted one for DerbysRed (Chris) on here and the total price was less than £2000.... infact was less than £1500 I think - I didn't supply all the parts...
A Disco 200Tdi engine can be had for anything between £400 and £700 and then about £200 (ish - inc labour) for a proper cambelt replacement - new belt, idlers, all oil seals etc etc. Headgasket (don't see why you would bother changing this unless needed) but again would be a £200 (inc labour) so your looking at £1100 max for the engine... so £900 minimum labour - a bit steep for something that doesn't take that long - although compared to a Defender spec engine fitting a Discovery one is more involved... and always looks messy IMHO. :roll:
