Keep the V8 or get a 300Tdi??

Hi all
I have a 1990 3.5 carb V8 disco for offroading. Bodywork is a little scratched but mechanicals and chassis are fine (previous owner of 10 years never used it off road).
I have had it for 6 months and it still has MOT until May 2008. I live in Oxfordshire and i have to travel to neighbouring counties to go offroading and the fuel bills are getting a bit hectic so I am thinking of selling it and getting a 300tdi.
I have no idea what my car is worth, £500? I could LPG it but how much would that cost as i would have to pay someone to fit?? I recall reading somewhere they are about £1,200 to supply and fit? If so, i could put this towards a 300tdi which together with proceeds from mine would give me a budget of £1,700 ish. Is that enough? If so, it makes sense to me to go for a diesel particularly as it is likely to be four or five years newer.
Some of you must have been in this position before, does anyone have any advice/pearls of wisdom!
cheers
Steve

Why do you suggest a 200tdi rather than a 300tdi?

And I moved to this from a V8 rangie, loved the V8 to bits but not liking water and loving petrol so often made me change, no regrets so far.
