Are 200/300tdi chassis's the same.....

(1/3) > >>

Disco-Ron:
As above really, i have a 300tdi, but the chassis is not in very good condition, i have considered doing a swap.... or even getting a chassis, having it blasted and then galvanised.....

Drastic i now.... but worth it if it can be done...

So, where would you source a  chassis..???

Any ideas welcome!

boss:
richards chassis

Range Rover Blues:
No, they are not the same.

The over-chassis crossmember is round on later chassis, the A frame brakcets are then wleded on not bolted as before.  The gearbox crossmember might well be different and the exhaust hangers likewise.

Non of that is insurmaountable though and all the body mounts are the same AFAIK.

The 300 will have ARB mounts and possibly the brakets for the EAS pump/tank and holes for the sensors.

Oh, the fuel tank will be plastic not steel.

solihull-mick:
In answer to your question from somebody that has done what your asking, the answer is a big yes!!!a 200 chassis will go under a 300 body with no issues, other than engine mounts, the gearbox mounts can be used, iirc 200 disco has never had a steel fuel tank, well ive never seen one anyway, and ive worked on alot of discos, hope this puts your mind at rest  :afro:

All Disco tanks are plastic!

Also, its unusual for a Disco chassis to rot (body work yes! but not chassis!) so why not source a second hand chassis and rebody that? it will definately be cheaper! you will have to use the ID from the replacement chassis though to be legal.
