Hi mate I have 3x pistons and rods from a defender 200tdi, if your interested here's my number: 07557533583

Hello everyone, I have been to look at a disco for my old man and wen I started it up there was a red light which looked like a cog and had thermometer symbol in it, yet it was cold wen I started it. Does it sound like a dodgy sensor because she drove great? Thanks

ye fine until u have an accident that is.

u selling the airbox? if so can u send picture over please thanks

Hi, I have a R380 box for a 96 v8i disco if its any help only want £40 is ready to go and am in sittingbourne. Ben.

Hi everyone, I am almost finished do my v8 conversion into my defender but the last bit remaining is the bottom water hose. I need a custom one made as i just cant find one to fit. Does anyone know where and who does it local preferrably im in north kent. Many Thanks.

is that the v belt if so then it wont as mine is the flat belt with the ribs in it.

Hi everyone, I have almost finished putting a 3.9 disco lump in my defender but last on the list is the alternator setup, the disco engine had 1 belt do the whole lot inc aircon pump but due to not fitting the aircon pump or even having the space to do so, so the belt obviously dont fit...

The disco red is alot wider than the defender, It doesnt fit in between the wings.

got any pics of the tractor?

i can be a bit confusing at times. all i need to know is what gearbox is needed for me to keep the gearstick in the normal place and so the job gets done properly, what box would you use if you was given the job? as a Thanks.

id like to be able to keep the gearsticks in the original position in the cab. I did assume i can use the coolant hoses from the disco as i was goin to fit the rad in to it aswell. Thanks

Also read in another post that you replied to jamesmartin that as the v8 should sit forward in the defender can i not mate the rear of the lt77 i have now in defender with the front of the r380 in the disco and also swap the shafts goin into the engine? Thanks.

I typed into ebay defender v8 gearbox and thats what came up, sorry for being a pain in the ass but am struggling to understand what box i need so i can get on the net looking for it. I read elsewhere that you leave the gearbox mounts in place and when the engine and box are in place...

Thanks for the offer mate but i think that using the disco box makes it to long, and so puts the gearstick in the cubby box doesnt it. As i have an r380 on the doner car im using. I take it this is something that i need along this lines anyways: Land Rover Defender 5 speed 110/ 90 V8 LT85...
