Thanks everbody for the help this weekend. The engine swop didn't go to bad in the end. Exhaust took a bit longer than I would have liked. One of the intercooler pipes popped off on the way home. Just need to change the water pump as it's got a leak & one of the fuel bongo bolts had a leak on...

I'm sorry but have to agree,...................You're talking out your arse. I've been down it when it's well over the bonnet.

Thanks you've just answered most of th questions I had. I'm doing a 200tdi LT77 to 300tdi LT77 swop at the weekend & the questions I had were, 1) engine mount 2) Exhaust. The only thing different is I'm going to use the 200 bellhousing as it's already got the bolt holes at the bottom drilled...

I hope I've got everything covered but as you say "I bet there will be something that holds it all up". As long as it's up & running the other bitz can be sorted later.

Going from Disco 200tdi to 300tdi. The engine mount on one side is different but I've got a bolt on bracket & downpipe is closer to the front.

This Saturday & Sunday, hope to get most of it done saturday but need to make an exhaust as well.

Sorry, It's now sold. I've got the 200tdi engine coming out of mine but it's smoking on start up & low oil pressure. I've also got another full engine to rebuild it with, only thing missing on the 2nd engine is the turbo. After forgeting the clutch as the engine is going from auto to man. I...

Did you change the valve stem seals when you did the head?

I'm being sarcastic :D, mines having the engine changed sat/sun with a bit of luck.:eek:

So might I :rolleyes: :D

Welcome, just don't go out on your own or you have to use landyzone rescue.

I was going to PM the address to anybody who don't know where it is but I think most know where it is. I'm sure everybody will behave themself's as I'll take the blame for any if it goes on, as you say don't want to pee off the neighbours.

I don't know which one I'll need just know it's a early 300 non edc so may get both. At Dan's near sudbury, think Geoff is coming up you may want to come with him. Just found out I don't need a flywheel as 200 & 300 are both the same. Just need a clutch, seal (LT77) & spigot bush (will try &...

Cheers Brian. Don't know where the chassis/engine will be come the weekend. Think I need to see you as I need a flywheel, as Dan's is auto & I'm changing it to manual.

Will be doing it at Drizz's workshop. Just need a hand to get mine out, most of the work is moving 1 eninge out & the other off Dan's chassis & in mine. The rest is just fitting all the pipe work back on, only thing I need to make is the exhaust. A date it is then 23/24, may even take you down...

I'm looking for help please.:o I need to swop my engine over. Either next week 23/24 or the weekend after 2/3. Any offers please :D

I've got one for sale, just as long as you want to rebuild it. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f62/200tdi-discovery-engine-214919.html

It's too low, got paper thin tyres & gay looking white:p. Sell it!

Just under the wiper switch on the right of the steering column on a standard defender.

And don't forget the webasto :p ready for the winter. :D
