    What year is your disco......

    300tdi were fitted to D1's......and given the price of D1's I'm not sure an engine conversion would be worthwhile, might be better finding a good D1 with 300tdi fitted.

    I agree with weeds.
    An engine rebuild will cost 2k, short motor only.
    Gearbox will need to be changed+3k
    Engine ancillaries-rad,a/c,turbo,vacumm pump,alt,engine mounts,p/s+3k.

    300 tdi engines to suit rebuild do show up every now and then , anywhere from $100 to $1000.
    New head $1000

    I know of a 300 tdi/Auto disco rolling body, mostly complete,motor has been taken and reused, box is still there but needs rebuild.

    98% of all Land Rovers built are still on the road.
    The other 2% made it home.

    Cost difference between Britpart and Genuine seals: £2.04. Knowing that your brakes won't fail at any moment: Priceless.
