Engine mount confusion 200tdi Conversion

Southernlandy · May 23, 2014

I bought my 90 last summer which apparently had been "professionally" converted to a disco 200tdi. I put my engine back in today with new 200tdi engine mounts but it doesn't sit right. The ones I took off do not look like standard land rover parts? There seems to be a gap under the LH side mount and nothing I do will level it out? Has anyone else had the same problem and how can it be sorted? I'm not even sure which brackets are on the block. Here are some photos:

Do the old mounts have any part numbers on them - may help to identify what you have.

When i put my 200tdi disco engine in my 90 i used the 19j engine mounts mate... not the 200tdi disco engine mounts.

So the mounts you should have should be the 2.5td mounts..

I think

No, unfortunatly searched all over the internet and can't find them, It was almost as though the old ones are softer so took up the angle by squashing

Also, it looks like the 200tdi mounts are on, have they welded them to the chassis instead of swapping them off the block?

I'm not sure what's what on the engine or the chassis to be honest. What would the solution be without having to do more welding to the chassis?

Im not sure mate, some 1 will be here soon to give the correct answer I'm sure. Tomorrow ill go take a look under mine and take some pics, see if they match up to your mounts as if i remember correctly the 200tdi mounts were huge compared to the TD ones.

I also have to replace my rubber mounts which i have in my 90 but ive been putting it off so i could end up with the same problem if like you say, the rubber has softened and taken the angle lol.

Thanks, in the meantime, I'll keep searching

Those look like converted mounts made to fit.

If your 200 sits back near bulkhead then the 19J mounts will fit

I have just recently replaced my engine mount rubbers in my 2.5td converted to defender 200tdi by the last owner as the 200tdi mount rubbers ( disco ) i think where shot and the exhaust was touching the gearbox and chassis so I replaced them with series diesel ones ( square type ) which seem to have solve it, gearbox mount rubbers need doing now which I will do this month as I have to service the 90 before we go to billing in a couple of months time

Almost 100 percent home made engine mounts engine side.

So you guys think these have been made up?

Yes. So before you replaced the engine mounts with 200 TDI ones, what did the old ones look like (picture)?
