Thread: 300tdi into 200tdi defender

nope youve got to shift the engine mounts or refab them.

not too much else though

Thanks for the reply dave. should have known it wouldnt be that easy. i have a rolled 300tdi and thought i might change over the running gear at some stage. the 200tdi is still going like a train.

I would ask WHY. I had a 200 Tdi Defender and reckon that with the engine bbraking and gearing it was better OFF ROAD though worse at the top end on-road. Still I;d have a 200Tdi again without dramas.

What I;m saying is I don;t see it being worth the effort.

Well Gary you had might as well put it in the 101 then

In the 101 mmmm,i love the v8 sound too much.but i could handle the 200tdi fuel economy.. ive had a 200tdi previously and loved it but the gearbox was a piece of rubbish and i dont want to go through the dramas of repairing this one if it goes when i have a whole 97 deefer as a parts car.its not something i want to do straight away im just getting the facts together for down the track. Cheers.

If by some miracle the passengers side front door is OK from the roll over shoot us a PM I'm looking for one, I'll even give you the rusted out one i have to keep the wreck sealed if you want.

I'm in the market for a back up TDI300, Im currently working off parts from a 94 disco 5 door and have a line on a 93 3 door if the doors will help (they'll come sans locks and windows they're part of what I got the vehicle for)


tdi300 into a 200 has been done before and is not all that hard at the end of the day... with a certified welder on hand to do the mounts I reckon its only really a days work.
