I want to sound deaden/ insulate my series land rover doors, under bonnet, gearbox tunnel, etc, etc. What type is best? Woven fibres, rubberised foam, rubber matting, other? Want to significantly reduce noise and dont want something that holds the water. Cheers.

Its just about the same size as the original series diesel engine apart from the timing housing at the front.

Is it a 200tdi your fitting? You can use the 2.5 bell housing with a series 3 clutch if so. You need to counterbore 4 lower holes to accept new bolts through the bell housing to the engine block. All is explaned on the "200Di" diesel conversion for Series Land Rovers - by Glencoyne 4x4...

Have you got the feed and return the wrong way round? Embarrasing to admit, but when I did my conversion I had these round the wrong way. The engine fired up and idled reved up but was starved of fuel!!! Just a thought:confused:

OK, another question. Use the oil bath filter or the discovery one?..pro's and con's please.

I've done the 200di conversion last week. Piece of cake.

I've got a 2.25, 4 stud horizontal outlet manifold on ebay for £40 inc p and p if you want it?

Yep, just waiting new oil and filter before I give her a go!

I've kept the original 200 tdi manifold, made a flange to mate up with it and custom welded exhaust to marry up with the orignal exhaust halfway down the down pipe.

Discovery 200 tdi Turbo Charger. Turbo spindle rotates freely with no play whatsoever. The manifold is not included in this sale. Collection from Shefford, Bedfordshire. £100 o.n.o.

I have a 2.25 diesel engine which is removed from my Landrover series. It's in running order with a bit of smoke on start up and if accelerating hard. It DOES'T come with Alternator, Starter, Mounts, or Exhaust Manifold. Collection from Shefford, Bedfordshire. £125 o.n.o.

I've gone for the DI installation. I'm not looking looking for great acceleration and speed, just want to maintain speed up hills and with head winds! Also, the engine and drives should last longer (or so I hear). Thanks for your input though :)

Where are you located? I could do with the rear cross member up and including the rear spring hangars. Also got some rot under the hole of the mid crossmember coming through. Ta.

I have the 3" wide brakes/6 cylinder axle on the front and 11" dia brakes/Salisbury axle on the rear, so stopping is not a problem. Also, got overdrive fitted already. Will/do I need 111 bhp? Don't really want to go fast. Just want a bit more acceleration and when I start at the bottom of a...

I have a 2.25 diesel and have aquired a 200tdi with all ancillaries. I know it's more or less a straight replacement and is easier with the turbo off. That aside, should I keep it or not? I've heard that the turbo version could rip through the series gearbox and prop shafts and a non turbo is...
