td5 dash

will the discovery td5 dash fit into the 300tdi and if so what will i have to change ?
i understand the wiring is different but i can use the 300tdi dash loom, thats not a problem, what about heater controls ? are the fittings for the td5 and 300 tdi the same and all location points to fasten the dash and other things like instrument cluster, glove box, heater controls ect ect ect
cheers.

It's a great idea, because NOTHING will fit. I say GO FOR IT!
Send us month by month progress reports.

All you will need to do is get a TD5 engine complete from a Disco 2, modify the chassis to take it, get all the TD5 electrics and computer stuff, take ALL the wiring out of the 300tdi, and try to fit ALL the wiring and stuff from the TD5. Next fit the engine, exhaust, oil coolers, and stuff, and you'll need the TD5 radiator too.

Alternatively, just buy a TD5 Disco?

guess thats that answered then !
i dunna want a td5, just a good dash that will fit the 300tdi.
being as i aint seen much of the inside of a td5 i wouldnt have expected the dash to differ that much other than wiring. it dont matter now any ways cos i just bought two off ebay
