Thread: 200TDI into a 91 RR

From what I have heard it is a good conversion. Pretty straightforward, but you will need to weld new engine mounts onto the chassis.

there was a RR with a 300tdi at blinman this year, seemed to be be a good combo, whent well. i think it would be an easy swap over

That Rangie was at Blinman the last 2 years, he is actually keen to move it on for another project.
Think he said it ran all day at 110km/h no problems with trailer on.
From memory it cost him $10k though.
Might be talking it up a little to get better price not sure.
Look to be a neat finish though.

I would go the 300 though, parts are easier to source.

Theres a thread on here I put up with JustinC's RRC with a 300tdi put in it. Its a great fit, like factory.

LOL he should spend his money on tyers.LOL

yes it was a nice set up. im not so sure on the 200 being hard to get parts, mybe a bit harder in aussie becouse thay were not here for long, but internet and pommy land thay seem to have no problems.

would it be easyer to bolt the rande body onto the disco chassie
i think from memory they had similar body mounts but i may be wrong

It probably is way cheaper to import quite right.

I am self-employed however and like to support the Aussie economy even if its costs more. In the long run when there is no business incentive we could be in real trouble.

I shop around a bit but also like to shop near where I live in I can.
that way I also support my very near economy.

If I was to spend 3-4hrs on research and not be productive at work I loose say $60-80/hr.
I ring my local tyre guy, make out I am his long lost mate and get his best price and tell him I like the weights on inside of rim and I will pay cash.

Save me in long run and if I have a tyre problem I just go up the road not some distant internet dealer or store 50 miles away.

My theory of course but thats all it is. Theory.

I recently paid $280 per tyre for 245/75/16 Coopers ATR.

Seemed fair and he did exactly as I asked.

cool and i get your point.

but i was responding to the comment if tdi 200 parts being hard to get.

but if you have a local land rover guy who is preperd to get the tdi parts off the internet and then sell them to you thats cool as well
