    Discovery TD5 on Defender?

    Hi Guys,
    would a Land Rover Discovery 2 Td5 15P engine fit on a TD5 Defender 15p engine?
    And what about a TD5 discovery transmission?
    Thank you!

    Discovery TD5 on Defender?

    Should be fine just program correct injector codes and Change everything over
    There is a difference as to how the turbo boost is managed just use the defender bits

    Motor yep
    If the disco is manual then you'll need to swap the shifter housing and linkage over
    If it's auto you'll need a lot more ( eg TCU , ecu, wiring harness etc... Doable if you have the complete disco

    The best TD5/auto conversion I've seen is Strangy's 130CC, complete with D2 instrument cluster and cruise control.
    And it was originally a 300Tdi.

    So if I use the old injectors I should not need reprogramming?
    And eventually, do you know a site that explains how to reprogram the injectors and the tools needed?
    Thank you!

    I am sorry if I have misunderstood your post but were you talking about converting a defender to auto?
    I understood you were just taking the engine out of a Disco and putting it in a Defender to replace the broken one.

    If you move the old injectors from one engine to another you dont have to program the codes to the ecu
    Some would say that if the injector washers etc are not leaking its probably best not to upset them.
    Also a lot more work to do that
    A simple Nanocom would be needed to put the codes for the new engine in the old ecu not complicated someone could likely do it for you
    It will run without this being done but its not optimal just remember you will need the injector codes from the new engine to put them into the ecu.
    I know that sounds obvious but if you had them written down and drove the car to someone with a Nanocom it will be a simple excercise

    Well understood!
    I already took injectors apart so not worried about doing it again. Besides, the "new" engine does not come with injectors.

    Thanks for your time!

    The transmission question was the part I was mainly answering.
    This might be stating the obvious but make sure injectors 1-5 correlate to cylinders 1-5 on the new engine or you will need to reprogram them

    If not a Td5 Defender!

    If you are going to put a Td5 into a non Td5 Defender you will need a bit more than just injector codes. For the auto you are going to need a controller, there are a few after market ones. If you do some searches on this forum I think you will find others have already skin that cat.
