So the dead 2.5TD is almost out, soon to be followed by the dead LT77 (been a nice few weeks - not).
Disco 200TDi is sat there waiting to go in, including the conversion kit, pipes-wise. Issue is that massive Disco air filter though - can bodge it somewhere and run pipes from the snorkel all over the shop but not keen. New Defender 200TDi filter kit's about £250 but it'll slightly restrict the flow compared to the Disco one and that's silly - if I'm putting a better engine in i may as well have the benefit. Suddenly occurred to me that the answer is to fit a Kenlowe and then mount the Disco filter on its side where the Defender one sits now. New Kenlowe kit's actually cheaper than the air filter as well, but thought I'd mention what I need here on the off chance. That's below but any advice gratefully received too, this being the first of these I've done.
So, am after a Kenlowe for a 200TDi "Disco", also an 200TDi exhaust (when I got her the original system was rusted to pieces so stuck a cheap new one on - like the air filter it'll work but not perfectly and again no pony in fitting a TDi and then strangling it). If I can find a puma-style bonnet that will help us as we can use the extra room but it's not essential and they look horribly expensive to me (although have a load of spare paint as it happens).
Finally I'd like a gear stick, of all things.
Advice or bits gratefully received...
