Had a call off a mate today saying his 200 tdi defender cut out at low speed driving up a field
I went round and recovered it and on inspection the rocker shaft and Injection pump pulley dont move when turning the crank and some push rods are bent
What are the chances of getting away without valve and piston damage ?
Any tips for getting everything timed correctly ?
The part numbers I've come up with are ,belt kit DA1200 ,front crank seals ETC4154 and ERR1632 are these correct ?
Thanks

Normally just pushrods, occasionally a broken rocker.
There's a sticky for belt change should help you with drill bit sizes for timing

If you take the rocker assembly off and check valves are all close to same length with a straight edge probably is ok.
9.5mm drill for timing pin personally i bought the kit so I had the flywheel locking tool as well.

or buy the proper kit.

either this one
Big Red Tools 12 Piece Land Rover Timing Kit for Diesel Engines - SWE145 | eBay

or

these two bits make life a lot easier
2pc Pin Timing Set Belt Land Rover TDI Work For Auto And Manual Engines 5056133308204 | eBay

i own both the two piece pins work well, the whole kit is handy if you need to pull the flange off the pump. but the timing pin in 2nd link will go through the pulley which is very useful

Thanks il get a better look at it tomorrow

I have known two people do the same, and as said above a couple of pushrods/new belt/tensioner etc, and off they go again.

Banana pushrods ,all else seems ok I had a set of pushrods so top ends built back up
All valves were same height ,just need the belt kit to come

...got meself a 2014 Ford ranger, 2012 Ford fiesta, 2017 Shogun and a 99 disco 2 that I transplanted with a 200Tdi.

Guess the one that gets driven the most.
13 years and over 300K on the clock, and never missed a beat.....well, aside occasionally eating those small alternator belts.

Sure I read an article years ago where someone had stuck a 300 in a d2?

The farm i live on, the farmers son put a 200tdi in a Disco2 with a blown up V8 some years ago, ran well, he had to have some adapter fabricated from Ashcrofts i believe.

He only sold it when he got wind of MOT regulation changes as he had a few issues with warning lights, he never even wired the glow plugs up. He always reckoned post the conversion the 300tdi would have been a better option but his J reg Mk1 disco was rotten and so he gutted that for the Disco 2 conversion

It's still got the Td5's intercooler, tuned FIP and a hybrid turbo put together with the best parts of a turbo from a Mercedes OM904LA, so performance is respectable.

A link to the thread from all those years back when I posted it to the forum.. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/disco-2-engine-swap-see-what-i-did.211856/
