Will the prop from a 1990 V8 Rangie with ZF autobox fit a 200tdi disco?

The simple answer is yes........, as long as the following apply: -

1. Its the correct length
2. It has four hole flanges on each end

Tried it yesterday afternoon and it would seem the 3.9 props are longer than the rest, looked on the paddocks site and there is 2 types of prop, one for diesels and 3.5 v8's, and one for 3.9/4.2EFI engines, so unfortunately it wouldnt fit!  Was about half an inch too long when at its shortest length.

I put a v8 prop on betty boo's  200tdi Disco a couple of month's ago & had no problems with it but it had got a 2' lift

This has a 2" lift on it, the thing is its only the 3.9/4.2EFI ones that are too long, the 3.5 ones are are the same as the diesel ones.

Right, well the 200tdi ones are too long as well off a rangie!  So it would seem anything up to 1988 on a rangie will fit a disco 1!!
