A good engine with burned out turbo out of a Discovery is much cheaper. If replacing a V8 engine, the chassis engine mounting brackets we supply will need to be welded to the chassis and the old mountings cut off, chassis brackets from the 300 Discovery or Defender chassis will not be suitable as the center line of the engine is different and will put the engine in the wrong place. Just the shifter mech different. It isn't as simple as that. This is much easier on a coil chassis than a leaf chassis, although it can be fitted as a separate system on a leaf sprung Rover. It really is the best value for money of any modification you can make to it. I will get hydraulic hoses made up at the start of next year from an agricultural workshop.
Check all the core plugs especially at the back , do the timing belt and maybe paint it? If you want pictures by all means just ask. If the original hose is in poor condition we can supply a new hose too. All the kits come with comprehensive instructions. Also required will be the fuel filter and the ends of the fuel pipes to joint the fuel pipes to the new engine. I fitted the Ashcroft selector which was spot on. We do not recommend using any other flywheel housing no other housing has the provision to support the bottom of the housing.
There will be a front propshaft to chassis crossmember clearance problem when the suspension is fully extended. Sadly we only really have 3 door D1's. This in turn gave me a full 25mm clearance at the vacuum pump and the firewall. The Defender engine sits a long way back in the chassis, and most 'budget' cranes will not reach far enough. These images show the interior as it is today,, even after being on the road for a number of years. If you are seriously considering spending this much on it to make it original like, surely it would be better to sell it and buy a 300? The character after the body type shows the type of engine, e.
When possible we suggest a a galvanized bulkhead, but it is all up to the customer. Think of how many gallons of fuel you could buy for the cost of the swap. New cam bearings are fitted and then built up to a stripped engine. I used the disco filter housing for the fuel filter, and you will also need to buy a 300tdi air filter housing and pipework, and wing side vent for it Hope this helps! The idea is to cover the main problem areas and give you some idea whether it is a job you can tackle yourself, or whether you are better off leaving it to someone who has done the job before i. We have developed a full system larger bore pipework and single silencer, complete with special chassis mounting brackets designed to fit later exhaust systems to early chassis, bolts and mounting rubbers. This main rail provides the strength and support for the seats etc. .
Therefore I followed the internet wisdom and bought the said fly wheel housing and sat here waiting for a prominate Lr forum user to send me it. That way you can hear the engine running and be sure that it comes with all the ancillaries you will need see below for list. Price for an engine complete with ancillaries as above seems to have settled around £450-500, and MoT-failed complete vehicles can go on Ebay for £800 or more, which is a bit silly really. Also the propshafts will need altering in length. What electronic gizmos am I likely to loose? Did this before with my bimmer headlights. The version used in the Land Rover Defender is easier to fit into a Series Land Rover than the version used in the Land Rover Discovery due to the different manifolds.
Non-moving ancillaries will be either genuine refurbished parts or new parts as needed. These dimensions are from the bellhousing face to the transfer box face. My main concern is not costs or difficulty, it is doing it right. Its a pipe dream really, for everyday use then the tdi would have to be the way to go I think. The 300tdi sender unit is not an exact match for the gauge but it is close enough for you to get a good idea of what is going on.
Add an overdrive, 24 spline rear axles and your'e good to go. It had an lt77 geatbox fitted to a Transit engine when I got the 110 but it was originally a 2. See part number The electrical alterations will depend on the model of Series Land Rover you are fitting the engine in to. So the swap is much more economical here. Note power levels should be thought of as stock average. We retain the lt77 gearbox assembly and our kit is designed around using this gearbox.
This is normal practice and most garages will be able to help you with this. What turned up on a pallet was a knackered 19J. So the first thing on order was to mimic that bend. This engine is more complex to install so we would recommend not using this engine. This image shows the completed interior. The conversion to a 200tdi would be an excellent time to.
For this 2 holes will need drilling and tapping. The short-stroke engine 2625cc was developed from the 3-litre as an improvement smoothness, also manufacturing cost over the earlier 2. Bolt them up complete to the engine. Next best is to buy an engine which is still in the vehicle, so you can hear it running before it is removed. Both the Defender and Discovery radiator frames can be used, alterations are required for the frames to be adapted to fit the vehicle.
