Yes I agree I think fitting the original air box is the way forward. And it's only missing from the photo as I just removed it to investigate the snorkel.
What engine do I have? (Plus introduction)

For a 200tdi use 15w40 mineral oil. see here:

Coolant should be ethanol glycol antifreeze conforming to BS6580 (blue stuff) Don't use OAT antifreeze (pink stuff) it wrecks some of the seals.

I would use semi-synthetic oil, you can pick it up cheap enough and it will be more tolerant of the heat generated by a turbocharged engine. I use 10-40 in my 300tdi.

Yep, you have a disco TDi with a slightly ratty conversion. These are great engines - long lasting and powerful enough for an aging landy. As mentioned above, I'd plan for a timing belt change and start looking on line for a 200tdi disco air filter housing. Have a look at the Glencoyne website for loads of useful info about the conversion. You really want to get that air filter up as high as possible if you're not going to fit the disco one - before the winter arrives!
