Im in for a busy weekend

Soon find out when it sit on the mounts

nope im pretty sure its a 200tdi ?

and it didnt fit on the mounts as i used the disco gear box which bell house is 5.5inches longer so the engine came foward aswell.. then i cut of the old rad mounts and the disco rad and oil cooler fitted nicely in its place..

whats it out of?! im sure the turbo on the 200s is at the top of the engine lol

Haha! Definitely, been pimping the 110 over the weekend. Although i may know where there is a tempting 2.8 Diahatsu engine.... cba with the hassle though!

U got power steering alane?

Oli

Sort of, although the bracket on the pump keeps working its way loose every couple of weeks which makes it nice and squeaky on full lock!

dont put a jap engine in a landrover!!!

ahh didnt realise the engine was out of a disco! the 200 defender engine has it at the top!!

Just out of interest, are you fitting the disco transfer box or putting the old 110 one back in? If you fit the disco one you will get better gearing for the motorways but less fuel economy.

Is it an aftermarket kit alane or off a 19j?

whats does that in mpg

because i have the disco box and enigne in mine on 110 diff with big wheels so my gearing is pretty high now.. so good speed but i dont know what the mpg wil be like but i bet it will be better than my old engine that was doing about 18mpg if i was lucky

not really worked it out, but kinda same as you but 300 engine, 90 diffs, 24 spline, disco transfer box, so high ratio, big wheels, i think its 25-27 ish maybe slightly less not sure, dont really try and work it out ever, but the rally gonna be roof rack all the weight etc its not going to be great!! poddling along at 50-60 me think

my disco 200tdi rad doesnt work properly and is restricing the flow resulting in the engine over heating

any one got one spare

I had the same problem with my old 90. I had a 300tdi retro fitted with a disco transfer box and 33" tyres. Good on motorway for 70 but bloody expensive on fuel. I am going the other way with my disco, I am fitting a 110 trans box as I am running 255/70/16 Grabber AT2's.
Currently with the disco trans box I rekon I am only getting 24mpg.

the lt77!??! box? ive been recommend this too!! but i dunno weather to look out for a spare one!!

jack you dont happen to have one do you lol!?
