I've posted this in the D1 forum, and thought it may help D2 forumites too.

Nope! I didn't note it incorrectly ... there is currently a 98 Discovery 1 TD5(TDi base) up at the Cambellfield pick-a-part getting wrecked.
I just got a couple of bits off the engine.

And no I haven't been drinking or indulging in mind bending substances.

Someone has gone to the effort to convert a Tdi D1 with a TD5. It's manual, and there is no gearboxy bits(at all!)
Motor is half in(barely), I did see fabricated engine mounts, but the motor rocks easily(maybe not connected) .. so it should be easy to hoist out the TD5 is someone needed.
Only thing at the gearbox end of the motor is the clutch still attached.

The TD5 has had the exhaust manifold removed(sorry, needed it! ). I had to half hack the turbo, but I was careful not to cut into the housing.. but may have grazed it a little. One nut was badly rounded and I didn't have the patience to use anything other than brute force(cut the stud off). Turbo moved freely.
AC compressor moved ok too, not a lot of resistance to rotating it.
Fuel cooler, alternator, pwr steering pump, waterpump, centrifugal oil filter housing, oil cooler ... pretty much still relatively complete TD5 in it. Didn't see condition of engine mounts(but you don't use S/H engine mounts anyhow!)


The modder has also fitted D2 rear seats into it. Front seats I couldn't really make sense of.
They have D2 armrests, but the base has a height adjustment lever, and it sits on a D2 rail.
I've never seen any D2 with manual height adjustable front seat .. (but then again I don't get out much either! )

seats in rather good condition . I didn't inspect with fine toothed comb, but they looked very usable. Medium/dark grey leather.
Major issue is getting into the interior.
Other than the drivers door, they don't open.
I can see the latch mechanisms moving and 'opening' but I couldn't open the other 3.
Some other interior parts looked pretty good condition too if folks need this stuff. centre fascia is smashed to bits tho.

Axles had both diffs still attached(noting that D1 diffs fit D2s easily.

Anyhow, hope this helps some D2 owners in need of some cheap bits and stuff.

Unfortunately(for me that is) no headlights for my D1 .. but strangely there was a LHS D2a headlight, in a bit rough condition, in the engine bay. I placed it in the interior to protect it a bit better.

Putting 2 and 2 together, there is a good chance that the TD5 may also have come out of a D2a, but I didn't confirm the engine number .. sorry. I didn't check properly, but didn't see any ECU either.

hope this helps.
