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

[Hymie]

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.:)

just to be daft....

a Series III 2.25l diesel

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

[BlueBandit59]

yes you may be right about the eng no's.
the conversion was done a long time ago.

[Debacle]

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



TeriAnn's Expedition Land Rover site (http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/index.html)

[Designosaur]

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 (http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/200di2.htm)

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 :angel:...

Give me a couple more weeks and I'll have the gearbox to transfer case sorted, then I can tell you how to set up a Daihatsu 2.8 and 5 speed overdrive box from a Delta series truck, to power an S3 Landy.
With luck I should not even have to play with engine or gearbox mounts.

Not daft at all. Nice engines. Love the old 2.25D.
As it was a 6 cyl I am assuming it is a 109 so the LR2.2.5D may be a little underpowered... but then again... with extractors (need to let these oiler breathe) and injector pump tweaks should go well.

Who would I determine which engine is a Series3 diesel from any other 2.25ltr. Are there specific engine numbers to look for??

[lro11]

check this website out should give you the information you require Land Rover, Range Rover engine numbers (http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/engno.htm)

Rodeo 2.8l turbo intercooled,the last of the non electronic ones.Good strong engines,mates rodeo has 350000ks on it still going strong,get the gearbox/transfercase then everything matches,tailshafts and handbreak to sort.
Avoid mitsi 4D56/4D55 (triton/pajero) they are hand grenades.
That 2.8 diahatsu is actually a toyota under licence.
Hilux diesels up to 2.8 are reasonable.
Nissan 3.3 diesel with the turbo was pretty strong.
Landcruiser 6cyl diesels are real gutless.
