That was my original plan, but the pipe from the rocker oil vent just seemed to prefer being on that side. I think that hose running across the engine looks a bit odd so I might try your idea.

Thank you :) It was great fun doing it, just need to get the outside sorted now.

Hi Nick. Thanks for the advise, I hadn't heard that before. In which case I will leave it open - I only fitted it for the sake of completeness. I haven't done any comparisons with the 2.25 as I never measured it. My gut feeling is that it is better, but I have no data to back that up. Sorry...

Thanks. Most of the how-to guides I read just leave it out, as you suggest. If I 'm honest it hasn't moved from hot since I fitted it and anytime I want cold air in the cab I use the vents. It just seemed like a neat solution :)

Hello All. I originally posted this in the introductions section, but I guess this one is more appropriate. I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has posted info about converting a Series 3 to 200tdi - I've now finished my conversion and I couldn't have done it without you...

Thank you, now I just need to get the outside sorted. I think it used to be red - its now a dull orange :)

Hello All. I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has posted info about converting a Series 3 to 200tdi - I've now finished my conversion and I couldn't have done it without you! Following much planning and eBaying I've successfully managed to fit a Discovery 200tdi into my 1984 Series...
