Cheers chrisstdt,not had much to do with tdi"s but now I know it'll fit with out too much work I don't mind the rest of the mods needed to fit the engine.

Yeah,read a lot of posts saying that but none gave an explanation why,was hoping to just mate the 300 as it is if possible.

Hello folks,long time no see,was wondering would a discovery 300tdi engine fit on to a defender LT77 gearbox? Reason I ask is i fitted said gearbox to my 2a not so long back but now the old V8 is on its way out and I've been offered a 300TDI for nothing,yes nothing!,so was hoping to pull the V8...

Recently put a defender lt77 box and 230 transfer in my 88" 2a V8,its a tight fit but it does go. you'll need the series to v8 adaptor plate plus the modified spigot bush (input shaft spigot on the LT77 is same diameter as series),if the V8 flywheel has been drilled to take a series clutch all...

88" Series 2a V8,265/75/16 insa turbos,full cage,winch,rocksliders so a bit heavier than standard. Running disco axles so 3.54 diffs plus overdrive,20 mpg on a run at 65 mph and down to about 10/12mpg round the country lanes. The disco 300tdi auto does 30 mpg though lol

Disco axles are 3" wider each side so if you want big tyres you'll need arches ;)

Nice,reminds me of when i was a kid and my dad used to drag us up to knoydart in scotland for a weeks backpacking :)

Last year did a full weekend laning and offroading,started on the saturday with a 200 mile round trip to soar y mynydd,strata florida Then camped the night at the pay n play carmarthen and did a full days offroading on the sunday and then drove the 50 miles home without any probs whatsoever :)

It's the same for auto and manual as long as it's not got the edc pump

What question? I started this thread :confused:

I tried the daddy screw and it made a hell of an improvement,only downside was it smoked like mad so I turned it back.

It was,the winch had a good testing and it took me 3 days to clean all the crap off :)

Wise choice

Cheers,I entered last year as well but didn't make it so was a bit surprised

Into the paddocks 2014 calendar............"woo hoo!" :D :D
