    Hi Al. Pics look good! I'll be interested to see how well the T(less)di goes without the turbo. Wonder how long it'll take the lad to work out that if he runs the pump boost pipe into the cab and blows down it he'll get lots of black smoke and a little more power for overtaking!! if you see a can of compressed air on the dash, you'll know what he's up to!

    Ha ha, that might explain why he was asking me today about my td5 discos redundant compressor and would he need a bigger alternator On a more serious note I cant wait to get it on the road cause the discos desire to consume fuel is putting my lamps out , so when I get it roadworthy I plan on borrowing it until I can get my 130 project done then the td5 will be gone.....(die hard tdi fan)

    Certainly in an 88' the 200di conversion performs quite well. There is quite a few in England now because all the old Disco 1s have fallen apart with rust and the engines are relatively cheap. Fuel figures quoted are in the region of 35 - 38mpg.
    I am in the process of putting one into a 2a 88', but keeping the series gearbox, t'case and diffs, but adding a roverdrive overdrive. This seems to give a good compromise between the ability to do 90 - 100kp/h on the highway and not loose any of the series gearing for off-road work. The 200 without the turbo is also a lot more sympathetic to the series running gear!
    I will continue to follow your thread with interest. BTW, mine is for the wife too!
    Cheers, Martin

    Well, we're back into this one with a vengeance! SWIMBO has worked out that if I get a 101 hers will never get finished.... Soooo, with that in mind I started to attack the chassis today, removing the botched battery tray and starting the chassis cleanup and mods. I even took a trip to a friends farm where I had got word there are two LWB Ser 2's and a Shorty.... We now own the shorty!! Oops!! It has a very straight body so will be perfect!! It also comes with a 2.286 petrol and gearbox which are supposed to be good! So if anyone wants a clean rolling chassis complete with engine and box along with a yellow bulkhead, rear tub and ex military wings, give me a hoy!!

    Good man sitec, was beginning to think you had forgotten about it, though I see you have building a tasty camper in the meantime.

    First trial fit of the Disco Tdi into SWIMBo's chassis. Gotta love the fact that Series 2 engine mounts bolt straight onto the Tdi. SA road worthy boys will love the fact that the engine mounts are standard.
