About to fit a 200tdi

Just bought a Disco from Uncle Albert on here, it has a 200tdi. I have got the gearbox from a defender mounted in place on the chassis, what should I do to the engine whilst it is out of the discovery.

Timing belt was done 40k miles ago so I know that needs doing, and also the flywheel housing bottom bolts.


anything else I should be doing to make the conversion go well?

bit of background, it is a series 2a bulkhead and series 3 tub on a disco chassis that has been shortened to 90 inches. the 200tdi is replacing the ford transit engine that had a series box mounted to it. The engine is for sale so drop me a pm.

A new genuine rear oil seal in that flywheel housing maybe?

not a bad idea, fly wheel and housing has to come off so I can tap the bolts on the bottom.

Check the rear core plugs too, replace them just in case.

maybe new clutch or just plate. A Hd clutch fork and new push rod :crazy_driver:

yeah , got a new borg clutch kit, will buy a new clutch slave and rod.
