Just fitted a disco engine into mine and that was not too hard, if you have a fork lift to use it will be a doddle, most of the things you need to do are in the previous posts. I have had a side exit exhaust made, full stainless it did cost £370 but I think it was worth every penny, I can send you some high res pics of my exhaust if you want, via email if want to pm me your email address. I also put a new water pump on when I changed the timing belt, for what they cost. And change the timing belt tensioner and guide roller too! :wink:  8) [/img]

Have fun, if I was fit I'd love to come and help.

Well its in, old 19j out and lovely new 200tdi in in around a day and a half, just need some minor points sorting before she can breath a full and fruitfull life again.

The fuel lines from the old 19j engine are different at the fuel pump end for the 200tdi engine ([!Expletive Deleted!] as this was all that stopped it from firing over this afternoon), And I seem to be a hose missing for the airfilter to turbo, and can't figure out which way round the hoses are supposed to go, a picture of the 200tdi defender engine bay would come in useful if anyone has one. Other than that, once its all done, a quick test fire, and then a case of replacing the timing belt, and she's ready to rock and roll. Literally. Can't wait now.

Thanks for all the information guys.

If you go back to LR4x4 as posted by Les above, and look for 200tdi timing belt change there are several good photos of a 200tdi engine bay there. That same thread would be useful for your impending timing belt change. Like I have said to you before Les is a godsend and his how to do its in the tecnical archives have helped me imensely on many a job now.
If I've not said it before Les......THANKS

Les Henson:
Aww shucks - thanks Tony  :D
