1998 2.5l 4-cylinder Diesel would be the '300' tdi
Sorta evolution of the '200'tdi but not that many interchangeable parts but the '300' is easier to work on - cambelt & waterpump for example
Also you have a diferent gearbox (r380??) to the '200's lt77 aswell as the body styling and interior differences, the D2 (1999 onwards???) is similar styled but with exception of a few things like the gearbox / transfer box & diferentials (not axles??) I don't think much else transfers
Although I'm probably completely wrong

If its a one piece serpentine belt in the front of the engine, behind the fan, then its likely a 300TDi.
The layout of the gearbox will indicate what gearbox it is (reverse being right and back is R380)
I wouldn't assume the engine type based on the year/VIN as it could have been converted.

reverse is right and back (where 6th would be) and i think it was a single belt but i'll have to pop the hood to be sure. tomorrow im hoping it will be an ok day so i can get some pics and do some checking over see what if anything i can find. (new to the landy world so no clue really other than basics atm but more than willing and wanting to learn haha)

If you've got a landy then you'll need to weld & throw spanners
