Hi folks currently converting my 2.5 petrol to 200tdi! I used the flywheel housing from the petrol as I'm using a disco 200 an it bolts straight to my lt77 but having trouble fitting the starter to the backplate! Is it possible to modify it to take a diesel starter? I need help asap

I would imagine you need a 200tdi front plate to fit the starter to. Different cranking strength required to start a diesel methinks.

not really you use 200 tdi flywheel housing and remove a few studs to fit

for that reason i used the tdi flywheel housing, IIRC i removed a stud, moved one, drilled and tapped a couple of others and counter sunk the bottom 4

Hi
I have converted my 90 from a 2.25 petrol to a 200tdi. I removed the studs that didn't line up, removed the locating dowels then drilled and tapped new holes to fit
