or perhaps it has the same cartridge as the 300tdi?

That's cheap for a cartridge, but I'm not sure if the T250-04 will go into your housings ?

The MHI TD04 is a water cooled turbo and is more efficient than either of the Garretts and will bolt up to the 200Tdi Disco manifold, but not sure about your high mount Defender one.

yeah more searching and I think I'm barking up the wrong tree,

i think I should be looking for a garrett TBO242, LR part number ETC8751

I've sent some questions off to various suppliers and I'm going to pull the turbo off and see if there is any info there.

the problem I have is I don't know the exact year of the engine and whether the replacement turbo (it's not the original on there) is actually the same type as originally on defender 200tdi. that and it came from england (yes I know they all did, but this had all it's modifications over there) and from what I can tell there where some early 200tdi variants floating around.

Anyway, we will see. so far the cartridge method is the way to go, I haven't seen any over $400 for anything in that size, beats the stuffing out of wasting time recon'ing and then still having to send it off for balancing.

i do know the engine is an 11L, which seems to come up with the ETC8751 as the part number, but that doesn't tell me if these other cartridges will fit.
Some places say the turbo is a Garrett TB-02 the Workshop manual say Garrett T25?

Turbocharger - 465171-0002, ETC8751 Land-Rover Defender 2.5 TDI

looks just like this one, but trying to work out what cartridge fits , not so easy.

Would this also fit a 300tdi? Because the 96 defender I recently purchased has one.

The one a few post back with the link to ebay is probably the one for you, but make sure you investigate yourself, I'm being extra careful as I know it's not the original turbo on mine and also being a tight ass trying to find alternatives! (scottish blood...)
