    Isn't that a 300tdi? I thought the 300's only had the yellow oil cap, mind you it's only a cap.

    In the Disco the 200 Tdi has a green dipstick and a yellow 710 cap.
    the 300Tdi has them both yellow.

    Have you looked at 4cyl toyota deisel eng.
    I fitted a 2H 4cyl toyota deisel eng, gear box and diff's to the last landy I had before the one I am working on now.
    I had to cut out eng mounts and gear box mount X member and manifacture my own mounts.
    On the diff's I had to cut of the spring mounting block and move them in to fit the narrower landy chassis.

    I always thought the toymotor 2H was a 6 cyl, the 4s being the B and 3B.
    We have a s3 with Perkins 4182 motor. Was originally a 6cyl. We have the original conversion receipt. It was fitted by U.K. Motors Pty.Limited, 123 Campbell St, Bowen Hills. Brisbane. Date was August '86. Cost $3575.
    Probably long out of business now, but just one of the conversions available at the time.
    cheers

    Have a look at this site, it deals with various conversions including 200tdi into a series, problem is it is a yank site so some of the info may not be relevant

    One conversion which might be interesting

    This site gives details of a conversion which I thought sounded quite nice for a series Landrover, and as previously mentioned, 200tdi available at the moment.

    "200Di" diesel conversion for Series Land Rovers - by Glencoyne Engineering

    At the moment i would be happy with just getting mine running.

    Perhaps one day when I spot a nice series station wagon which is really cheap because the engine stopped and the owner just left it in the shed ...

    Cheers
