Busy day. Started off degreasing the tdi and finished with removal of the TD. So that's the easy part done. Now the hard part of fitting in the new engine.

No...
the easy bit is fitting the engine
the hard bit is making it work
exhaust is a ****
IC & water pipes are a ****
use the TD mounts oon the TDI & it falls straight in the hole,

Has anyone on here made their own downpipe? I ask because I think over £135 is a tad much! I have the disco downpipe but I don't have any other bits of pipe hanging around. Will this do?

The only tricky bit is the exhaust down pipe
intercooler and water hose's are simlple just cut them on a straight bit insert some metal pipe and secure with more jubilee clips-not the prettiest but ,meh! who care about pretty on a landy engine
You might want to get some oil cooler pipes made up though -it is possible to extend them the same way as water hoses but how long they'd last is anyones guess
