Evening,
It's another one of those how do I fit a 200 or a 300 tdi engine posts, but as I keep saying my search box doesn't work, and only shows posts that i've posted myself, so here goes.
I've got an N/A which I'm slowly getting sick of, and I fancy a bit more pulling power. Not necessarily speed, but just the feeling that I am being pulled as opposed to pushed slightly. People keep saying different things about different engines and I'm totally confused, so please could someone clear these questions up for good!
1) What modifications do I need to make under the bonnet to fit a Disco 200 tdi engine, keeping my original gear and transfer boxes (both in the same position)? Is it just the engine mounting points on the chassis and the down pipe that are awkward?
2) I've been told that a 300tdi will just drop straight in, but I've also been told that the mounting points are in the wrong place. Which is right?
3) Does the 300tdi have any kind of electrically controlled magic stuff or is it just a good old standard diesel engine?
4) If I was going to fit either engine, which would make most sense and which would cause less problems for me!
Thanks in advance for any help
