Probably a stoopid question .... does a 300tdi disco engine have the same engine mount positions to suit a defender 300tdi chassis as the defender 300tdi engine?? Cheers

Got this at the weekend to add to the ever growing list of projects. Late 80's, low mileage but missing it's engine !...Luckily I have a good 300tdi disco engine at the back of the garage. Can't wait to get it home and start the strip down.

Long story short... 4 years ago we bought (for very humble money) a mid 80's truckcab just out of mot that needed a new engine & chassis. Filled out v5 etc and the seller said he would post it along with a sorn form i filled in with him. Today checked status online and the dateless ni. reg now...

Had a leak from the transfer box so took it out this weekend and replaced input seal. Definately didnt disturb the seal refitting the box. Long story short there is now a leak presenting itself on the lowest stud but can't see any oil in the drain hole just above/beside it. Question is can oil...

Anyone got a clue how to remove the gearbox oil seal collar? LT77 box output shaft. I know it usually requires an LR special tool but anyone found an alternative (cheaper) way to remove it ? It is badly scored where the seal sits hence replacement needed. Thanks

So my 200tdi disco engine in the defender decided to die. Basically the cam shaft had been pushed back into the engine and the pulley came loose wrecking the woodruff key. Belt had slipped and 2 pushrods were bent..... All happened on tickover under no load. Quick question.. Should the cam shaft...

Afternoon. Trying to bleed clutch.... New master and slave cylinders fitted and fluid right through to slave. Pretty sure all air is out now but when I press the pedal fluid comes through the tiny air hole on the master cylinder lid. And pedal has no / very little resistance. Could it be a...

Putting early disco 200tdi front and rear axles onto my defender 90 so I've discs all round. The disco axle has new twin pipe calipers on the front. Is it possible to use them, I guess with a splitter somewhere or would I be better selling the calipers and buying single pipe defender calipers...

Went to fit the new propshafts this morning and the front fits but rear is way too short, even fully extended until you can see a couple of inches of splines it won't reach. What's happening there then, can anyone shed some light on the subject please? Do I need to run with discovery rear shaft...

Ok so got a nice shiny new chassis and it's brilliant ..... but can't get the gearbox and transfer box mounting brackets to line up with the holes in the chassis. The bracing for the bracket welded to the top face of the chassis gets in the way. Was a 1990 2.5td but now getting a nice low miles...

Got new wheels and tyres last night for my 90 truck cab project....they're huge. Will look better once I get the suspension lift and raised arches.... Made by benzoni & co in Italy according to the stamps. Anyone else got ones the same? Know anything about them or even seen ones like them...

Got this 1990 truck cab yesterday having been without a Landy for nearly a year after I sold my last defender in a fit of madness. Needs new cross member, new engine and a general tidy.....probably a sh1t load of welding too. Engine is a 2.5td and seems lumpy and smokes when rev'd or...

Hi, can anyone tell me if a 300tdi seatbox will fit into a 200tdi without any problems. Not sure if its a straight swop or not :confused: current one has rotted through in usual places and I've been offered a good one from a later 90. Any advice would be much appreciated. Ta very much.
