stoke on trent
well lets get started my uncle has a defender 90 and its failed mot on a couple things well hes finaly decided to sell and im wondering what it take elctrical wise to drop a td5 engine in, can i use part tdi part td5 wiring loom?? i have wiring diagrams for a 300tdi and td5 system but im better at doin than reading lol and id prefer to know a little before i start. :)
 
chassis aint realy a problem with a little bit of gringind an welding :p and im not sayin id drop a td5 in straight away, its just that landys are as a lot of people say like mecano and thats what like how things can be swapped and changed and engineed with a little bit of thought behind them :)

If you do a Google search there is a fairly detailed account of someone doing this.

All I can say is it looked absolutely hellish - not because of mechanically fitting the engine in but from the angle of wiring a TD5 up to a vehicle that wasn't designed for it.
 
not hard if you have ALL the donor parts including floors centre tunnel gear box x member etc.
They are put in offroaders regularly so no big deal for wiring
