If i use a TD5 chasiss to rebuild a 300tdi.

Is it just the engine mounts i will have to change or will i encounter other problems?

Why not buy a 300 chassis?

BearDy89 · Nov 26, 2011

found a TD5 Galv chasis for half the price of a 300

just wondered if it was worth the saving...

if its only engine mounts and tank mounts im thinking it might be...

Engine mounts , gearbox mounts .
Personaly I would use a td5 fuel tank to save ruining the galv fitting standard tank mounts.

Gearbox X beam NO as they both run the R380. And exhaust maybe but doubt it.

well having built a td5 into a 300 chassis its not that hard . starting at the front the radiator supports are different the engine mounts and the fuel tank exhaust is a little different but not too bad . gearbox mounts are made different but line up the same way so there is no need to change anything there . i would say its worth the effort to use the td5 one

landrover defender td5 galvanized chassis 90 | eBay

Hi, Might be worth checking the price of this one?

Be wary unless you have a genuine receipt for a new chassis you should legally have a q plate or the new id of the chassis. Be wary lots of stolen td5's have been stripped chassis galvanised and sold as NEW on ebay. Somone bought one a while ago and the police have been all over his motor i believe the out come was its been taken into police workshops to be assesed a couple of month ago because it had a s/h *NEW* chassis that had unfortunatly for him the police found corroded bolts galvanised on. Which to me seems a bit dodgy. TBH
