Saw that on ebay but it's a bit much really when ive then got to pay somone to fit it and rolling shells aren't worth alot + my engine in knackered- got 4 cracked pisterns and one of the cylinders is worn by about 2mm!! so no go there, stills runs really well but can't get it through the MOT...

Yeah mines pretty knackered! + would cost nearly as much to get it reconditioned. Would consider it if it was already a 200, but TD are pretty crap anyway. Can get 200 & 300's from a place about 25 mins away for £1250 or there's a place in surrey for £995 service exchange but thats about 4...

Thanks for that, just wanted to check. I new they wouldn't just bolt bolt in but had never heard of having to cut the wings!!!

I'm 22 an have owned a 90 for 18 months (spent a year looking for the blooding thing)and love it to bits (except i broke it and it's sat waiting for new engine) I'm a 7.5 stone 5'3" blond so you can imagine the looks i get when i walk upto mine!! Kind of annoying when people assume it's my...

Have found a seriously written off 1997 defender 300tdi, but the engine is ok. But is it possible to replace my 2.5TD with it??????????? Am getting despirate now!! I know the gearbox is different but will it still work? Still no one is answering my question about putting a disco 200tdi in a...

Thanks very much for your input. As it is a complete car i should pretty much have everthing, just obviously don't want to make work for myself (or the bloke at the garage anyway)!! I know the mountings are the same on 200's but not sure about 300's. I would prefer a 200 anyway really as i...

Hi Has anyone ever put a disco engine in a defender? Want to put a 200 lump in my defender as TD is knackered. Was considering getting a old disco just for the engine as they are more readily available but.......... have just enquired with the bloke that did my clutch as to how much to fit...

Hi everyoe I am looking to purchase a 200TDi (or 300) to fit in my 1988 county, anyone got any ideas where to get one? Anything considered! Thanks:confused:

Not when it up to temp.

Yeah thanks for all the info, it's pretty much what other people have said but a bit more useful. Thats the problem - diagnosing it before i start changing this and that! The garage i took it to, which we have used for years, only does MOT's & buys and sells classic cars. Thanks again!

It's a TD so they don't have intercoolers (do they?). I took it to the landy garage where i had my cluth done, after it failed twice and he said to block of the fuel feed to the turbo as it isn't the pump it's the age of the engine. I also took the pipe off between the air filter and the filler...

Hi, failed again but the bloke at the garge is still saying it's the pump, even though it's blue smoke aswell he said it's fuel thats getting through. Also he said he was having trouble testing it the first time anyway because the revs carry on after you decelorate. I adjusted the idle speed...

CHeers for that, looks interesting!

CHeers for that, looks interesting!

Thanks for your help, can't get it through the MOT see-emissions are no good. If im gona keep it would put a 200 in definatly, but thought they were really expensive!!

Hi, Anyone got any idea where i can get my 2.5TD engine reconditioned? And how much i would be looking at? And is it worth it?

CHeck your timing, if it's too high it will run on when the engine is warm.

Anyone now of any MOT testing stations that dont check the emissions? or aren't on the computer system??

Yeah kinda thought that! Just wanted to see if anyone had any bright ideas!!! Thanks anyway!
