2.5N/A to 200tdi conversion

Right, seein as how we int had a conversion fred for a bit I thought I'd start mine.
So, after droppin the Doris and the kids at the mither-in-laws I went to my mate's farm where me 90 is. Started her up- first time inorl seein as she int been started for about 6 months- and then shifted various machinery parked in front of her and moved her into a free bit of shed.

First few piccies. Bonnet off, wings off and start to disconnect all electrics, eggsauce and props.







If I get more time on it and can be bothered I will keep updating now and again.

could you change the thread title to ''how to remove a depender wing'' please

No, cos I'd then look rather silly when I actually get round to swapping the engine

something i never quite understood... how do you get to the bolts that secure the wings to the bulkhead? is it a case of squeezing your arm in there?

long extension 13mm socket wing has slotted holes so dont need to remove completely

Once you've taken the wheel arches off you can get a socket with extensions in there.

right! thanks for that! not that im planning on doing it, but did wonder how they came off

Great pics you got any more today or is that as far as you got, and no i'm not takin the ****, i'm interested.

That's as far as I got. I do keep forgetting/can't be arsed stopping, to take pictures. There are a few other threads that have covered conversions if you want to see more, sooner.

Great i'll have a look. I've swapped engines in cars and lorries but never seen whats involved in a landy.
Cheers

A few more piccies.

Spreading the chassis to drop the gearbox cross-member.



Get the engine hoist attatched.



Lower the gearbox.



And out it comes.












Now who can guess what I forgot to disconnect:doh:

From the pic mate looks like you forgot the clutch pipe
May I ask why you took the gearbox out, is that being changed as well?

Nope, clutch pipe flapping loose. Putting Disco transfer box on so might as well take it all out and it's easier to align engine and gearbox out of vehicle and put back as one, I reckon.

Earth strap?

love your engine hoist!! lol

Only a little bit further yesterday. Removed transferbox from disco gearbox and fitted new input and output seals. Drilled and tapped two new holes and swapped the handbrake linkage from the 90 transferbox and split the 90gearbox and transfer box.
