Hey Keith I love this build.
I have a 107 that I am looking at putting a 200tdi in. It is from a disco, does this make it any better or worse than one from a Defender?
Do you have any tips?

Jeez Tony this is a bit of a blast from the past.
Jumbuck is still going strong though I took it off full rego and put it on club now I have Masalai on the road as a daily drive.
I used Disco engines on both of them as they fit in better than the Defender one.
Jumbuck doesnt have the turbo but Masalai does.
Are you going non turbo or turbo?
The Defender 200tdi is modified compared to the Disco (turbo & manifold) to fit. I suspect that you will have difficulty with a Disco one in a 107, although if not using the turbo, less so.

You will have no problem with the Disco one in your 107. It fits in the 80" and the 88" OK.
The Defender injector pump sits lower than the Disco one and fouls the engine mount.
As John says the turbo and manifold are higher on the Defender engine.
If you are going non turbo, series 2.25 manifolds fit.
On Masalai I used a 300 TDI turbo and manifold
Jerry D used a Disco engine and Defender manifold and turbo so it can be done

I originally thought non turbo due to fitment. However, having a turbo would be better. I need to redo all running gear so I am happy to modify/upgrade.
