Im in for a busy weekend

right so this weekend i need to put in my car ....

200tdi engine
LT77 gear box
new clutch
clutch release bearing
timing belt
timing belt tensioner
all other belts
full service
full expedition spring set
dash center console
refit CB
and 6 spotlights



hmmm will that leave me with enough time to get to the pub

i post photo's of the progress over the weekend

I am deeply upset that you are leaving the 2.5NAD world

Theres just two of us left now!

Good luck btw!

yeah i did like being part of the 2.5 NA club but a 3ton truck and the weight is getting bigger the 2.5 just cant seen to keep up pulling itself up hils and through rivers ( which i seem to do a lot of were i live

but the 200tdi would be good and also better on the pocket as fuel is concerned as i use it as an every day truck for work

Doesn't the N/A use the LT77. Why'd you need a new one?

Disco engine?

Whats happening with the old engine btw?

Seems pretty busy Jack!

But don't drink and build.... you'll end up with a 4x3 and a pile of spare bits!!

Bloomin eck! I plan on sticking the roofrack and rooflights on this weekend and I reckon I'll deserve some beers after doing that! Fair play sir!!!

Yea, ahl haiv a wee beer tae.

well today was a busy day.. getting the new engine sorted and the new gear box pulled apart and re built all lubed and oiled up ready to be droped in tomorrow..

the gear stick and the high/low box are the oppasite way around on a Disco LT77 so a bit of modification to the bell housing will sort that out.

hopfuly tomorrow the gear box will be in and the engine after being pulled apart and re sealed/lubed and oiled then steam cleaned will start to go in

absoulutly nackerd now so sat with a beer

weil ahv been sittin wi ah few beers the neet thinkin aboot yer workin awa'

Cheers.
whars the asprin fur the morra? hic

well saturday went well the old gear box and engine was completely stripped out and the new disco LT77 whent in.... but the gear box is longer so that resulted in the gear sticks being further bacj so i had to cut into the middle box were the middle seat sits.. but that ok, it makes for a better driving possition and i was going to make a custom cubby box anyway....


all in all thi car is going to be one hell of a car with this engine.

therebeen a lot of of custom fab parts as the guys iv been building it with have done quite a few of these so all the bits that Land Rovers fall down on we have made stronger and better.. ill try and post pictures tomorrow night..

Sounds Good!!! Hurry up
with the picitres

Will I sling this cubby box mate?
I had it sitting under the table just in case

unfortunatly i have to completely fabracate a custom one whish is anoying but at the same time very fun... i think its going to be a one of a kind job with all the heavy duty fabracating going on... the fella helping me used to prep rally cars and off road landrovers so everything that landrover did wrong is now cut of and made better..

i was unable to take photos myself but a mate has done for me so i will need to get them off him..

DONE !!!!!


well sort of it got to 10:30 last night and we called it quits all that is needed is the bonnet to go back on and the bumper, bullbar. and a little tinkering inside were the tunnel is diffrent

the engine looks and sounds great in my 110 and the new gear stick we made is a lot better to use than the old style one. when you look in the bonnet its just filled with engine
instead of a tiny 2.5NA

again im trying to get the photos off my mate. so hopfuly in the next couple of days when i have a chance to leave work on time i can finish her up..

she has a nice roar to her now

right these are the only ones i could get on my phone but some proper one of the full proses will be up soon








i think something is missing

Anything you don't need off the good engine (N/A)?

that looks like a 300 engine...............wheres the dipstick??

Noo, thats one leading question..............................


(Grrrrrrrr)

Whats happening to the old engine dude? May need a spare powerplant to fiddle with and breathe on

snow follow the exhaust manifold up towards the LR logo and its right next to the power stearing fluid tub thats ziped tied to the side to hold it in place whilst its on the crane.


oli im going to be selling this engine as a whole unit as its a really good one and it will help pay towards my new one.. it was my gear box that was letting the side down that felt like it was sturing soup not finding gears and the fact my car weighs over 3 ton

i gave it its maiden voyage last night and... BYE EK IT GOES LIKE SHIT OF A SHOVEL

and that turbo whistle hmmmm hmmm !!

iv gone fron a 55/65 horse power to a 120horse with the custom exhaust and now this weekend the engine is geting tuned so more vrooom vrooom

It's OK Oli, we'll stick together mate

it still look like a 300....and ive got two of them lol you sure its a 200?!
