It it not just a case of fitting a newer tunnel?, im not sure what age of seat box i can go upto, is it all the defenders upto 200tdi with lt77 gearbox?

Hi all, i have taken it upon myself to rechassis a hi-cap pick up, its an A reg defender with a 2.25 diesel. My question is that the seat box is shot, its the one with a nearly square transmission tunnel, if i get a later seat box to fit it can it be converted, is it simply a case of changing...

lol

have you tried putting the earth jump lead on the engine somewhere rather than on the battery?

i will have a think about that one, obviously what ever engine i buy i will rebuild anyway

how far from me are you do you think, how much?

well i am in the south east near tunbridge wells, how many miles has the disco done

Was thinking the very same thing, should i use my defender lt77 gearbox or the disco one? i have heard the gearing will be wrong on my gearbox as it was on a 2.25

also do the 200 tdi's suffer from cracked heads like the 2.25 diesels?

i wouldn't mind one but its wiring it up, so i guess 200tdi then, what needs to be changed, exhaust i can make

not likely lol

i do like the 6.2 litre gmc v8 diesel engine :-)

mine is A reg, my reverse is left and up

so then can anyone tell me which engine is better to install, 2 or 300 tdi, will my gearbox, ratio's be ok etc?

oh my god, right. 200 tdi or 300tdi? which is easier to fit or better?

does anyone know what they are talking about?

isn't it the same as an early 300tdi

Hi all, i am in the midst of restoring an a reg hi cap pick up defender, i have stripped engine and found a crack in the head, it is a 2.25 diesel. My question is, should i try and find a head for it or go for a tdi engine, in this case which one, 2 or 300 tdi?????? cheers. ps: my black and gold...

keep on pumping, i'm sure you will get some red, i mean white diesel out in the end lol

Oh my god a french car, sell that, i have had no end of problems with them and friends with the same, surrender monkeys
