Sorry, that one is not mine it is a pic off google, but I have the aircon under wing washer bottle fitted to mine along with the upright TD air filter in the seam place the PS reservoir is. But mine is a 200tdi conversion with the PS on the other side.

Re-found the pic on google it is form this thread here: Link
The mounting bracket looks to be for a 200tdi and bolt to the inner wing (photos courtesy of @bustersbus form the thread above)

Thanks Mate, Im going up to Study it again, would rather have it on that side, to make it easier for pipes from Turbo.

My air filter housing is a chopped about 300tdi, but is is the same dimensions as the 2.5 N/A air filter housing.
If it's any consolation, it took me two or three years to sort the filter out.

Thanks Mate, yes I have been looking at yours was it a hard job to cut it down and what filter did you use. ??
Ive got another Idea in mind with the Disco Square box after faffing about for the last couple of hours, Will post pics later.

Well Ive tried these things in and out all day , trying to move other bits about to make things fit.
Just cant get anywhere near with the Round cylindrical Box it is just to big and clumsy. THINK I might have it worked out though, If theres anything wrong with this Please tell me.
Nearest I can get is with Disco Square Box on passenger side where it should be really as hoses are a lot easier to fit, But I have had to move the washer bottle to the other side. Now this may Look Good but they are just propped in place,
I have a bit of an Idea of how to secure them so they are sturdy enough. but time will tell on that one, as Im not the best at doing stuff like this, but will have a go.
I have tried Bonnet on and it closes perfect.
Anyway will this way work if I can get them Secured in place ?

I messed about with a square Discovery air-box for ages and ages, the bottom is just the wrong shape to sit at the front of the engine bay and where you have it is the only place it will sit. I was worried that it was a bit close to the hot turbo, but lots of people fit them there.
The filter I have used is a 2.5 N/A element and the housing is exactly the same size as a 2.5 N/A but the lid fastens with a wing-nut rather than clips. I do remember thinking that after doing a lot of chopping and welding I may as well have used the old 2.5 N/A housing.

Yes youre right about the shape of the Disco box, think if I can get it secured it should be OK.
Very neat solution.

Thanks, Does look quite neat.
Got the filter box fitted wasn't to bad of a job, Got some pipe to come out the front, not the best fit but will make it fit somehow. Question is where do I run it to ?
Next job get the washer bottle secured.

Nice but not essential, think of all the bygone cars with pancake filters on top of their carbs, and all the air came from under the bonnet area.
Lol and we know how cleanly they usually ran

Thats because carbs are rubbish, no matter how well they are set up, they never stay well set up.

Agree 100 percent, I had my fill of carbs on motorbikes years ago, bloody things.
