300tdi into series

(1/2) > >>

dead camel:
i am contemplating putting a 300 tdi disco engine into my lightweight 2 1/4 petrol, anyone know of any conversion kits or how easy to change gearbox  etc, any thoughts greatly appreciated.

twiggy:
Hi I'm no expert but the 200tdi is muuuuuch easier to change over, a lot less hassle ( I believe the mountings for the 200 are the same as the 2.25 petrol). I looked into changing my 109 petrol and the 200 tdi came up trumps. I even got the donor disco but found a 109 diesel before the spanners came out.

stuntman:
You'll need to chop the mounts off the lightweight chassis and weld the engine mounts from the disco on, other than that, it's an easy swap.

Use the 2.25 box, fab up an exhaust and you're away :)

electrically, as easy as a 200 to wire in.

lightweight-love:
200 or 300 its not too complicated but its very time consuming! www.lightweightlandroverclub.org may have some1 whos put the 300 in.

dead camel:
fantastic stuff thanks guys, a bit more contemplating to be done (and pursuasion to the wife!!) thanks again. so the series box will fit to engine block ok?
