Found a good one very cheap, but it's in a Disco, bloke aint a clue if it will fit right in? Will it? If
not what would be required to make it fit a 1984 110 with a LT77?

Not too sure about this, but I think some of the ancillaries are in
different positions. Sorry I can't be more specific (or vague) )

I've an idea the exhaust manifold and turbo pipework are different for the
defender installation - turbo mounted higher I believe, to clear the inner
wing.


on that age 110, you may possibly find the engine mountings don't line up,
since it was built for a 2.5 NAD - I don't know that though.

Defender and Disco 300tdi engines are the same. It is 200's that are
different.

That said, a 200 would bolt straight in whereas a 300 needs the engine
mounts moving.

The problem is the exhuast - the trubo is lower down so you'd need
a custom downpipe. Some plumbing will be required for the radiator pipes,
heater etc. Otherwise its just a straight swap and some thought as to
where to mount things. In theory you would need a glow plug timer
as well, but then 200/300Tdi's don't need them in UK climates.
oh, and the Discovery engine mountings are fantabulous thingies
compared to Defender, though I'm fairly sure you just need to remove
all the extra bits and swap for Defender parts - the block is
essentially the same as 2.5NA/TD's.

Not to my knowledge. i was under the impression that the 2.5NA/TD is the
same block as the trusty old 2.25 litre diesel, just bored or stroked.
whereas the 200tdi was a completely new engine.

Not so - it was just re-engineered with a new head & pistons and
the timing belt "imporovement" added. Many parts are common.
