I know its a long shot but is there anybody near Kings Lynn that would swap a 300 for a 200 Tdi?.
I have a complete disco1 rusted to bits but with a good engine and gearbox. It would drive straight onto a trailer- no brakes though only the dodgy handbrake.
I only want the complete engine (with fuel filter), gearbox and transfer box to put into my series 3- its too much hassle trying to get a 300 to fit....
If you have one get in touch like I say I only want the engine and bits you can have the whole thing.
Cheers
RJ

Could stick it in and use 200 manifolds if it's the turbo/exhaust that's the problem

Yes that is one issue, along with changing all the pulleys, getting rid of the oil cooler and power steering pump etc, new exhaust........
easier to go with something thats a better match to start with.

Thanks yes only a few miles away.
I haven't used gumtree, looks like a place to look for bits and pieces.
