I am thinking abount changing my 1975 s3 2.25 petrol engine for a 200 tdi diesel or a 2.5 diesel so that I can benefit from cheaper running cost and improved MPG.

What advice can you give me regarding fitting a diesel? will it fit straight in or will i need to make alterations? also will i need a new gear box, it currently has the origional 4 speed one inone in?;)
 
If you put a 200tdi and 5 speed box .You can no longer use freewheeling hubs, as you are in 4wd. all the time, otherwise totally agree with Ormus. b-b
 
Has anyone carried out this swap? What bits do you need apart from the engine and box? Any problems in fitting or do they go straight in?
 
decided to forget all the troubles of swopping with swopping the engine and i have bought a 200tdi disco instead and sold the series 3. thanks for the comments
 
aye i know. but ive just realised that its 2006 now.

i had a go in my cousins series 2a last weekend, brought it home to me (reminded me), how very old it was.
 
We're not sensitive you barstewards we just frikin know that anyone who thinks that there is any better Landie than a Series is off their frikin heads and clearly knows nowt about nowt; especialy Land Rovers - ****s ;)
 
i met a series 2a owner down in Reading once. he also thought courage beer was the best in the uk.
enough said.
