Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has thought about or put a Kia sorento 2.5 diesel lump into a jay discovery?
Might have a mock up to see if it will fit, you never know 😁
 
Original disco 1’s, especially early models, are getting rare. I’d be keeping it original.
Amazingly in our corner of France we see loads of D1s, comparatively but very few D2s. In fact apart from mine and my neighbour's only ever seen one another. It was in fantqastic nick though.
I think both variants are well worth hanging on to.

Original is fine if you want to go concourse with it. Not that the stock engines are bad tbh. No idea why you’d want to fit a 2.5 Kia engine. Surely no performance gain and just a ton of work and bespoke parts to end up with a vehicle worth less and likely perform worse too.
