    The 200Tdi has the advantage that the engine mounts and bell housing match the 2.25 - which simplifies things a bit. As commented above, the 200Tdi is simply a development of the 2.25, whereas the 300 is a redesign, among other points intended to make it so the same engine could be used in the Disco and Defender, not requiring two versions as was the case with the 200.

    it's got the landy clutch and presure plates .I had made my own engine mounts out of thick angle iron but from what you guys are saying they probably won't pass the roadworthy . I'll have to give the rod shop a ring

    Mate, there's nothing to say your mounts wouldn't pass... best bet is to take them to a IAME registered Automotive Engineer and get them to have a look - they will soon tell you if they are any good.

    The ones in my ute are welded up from plate also. I didn't do the conversion, so I dont know if they are home made or not. The point is that they are up to the task - verified by an engineer.

    Before shelling out for new ones, I'd get yours checked out - its always nice to have stuff you've made on your car

    I can remember seeing an ad for a genuine Land Rover factory re-engine scheme. Must have been early-mid 90's? In the UK you could buy a new TDi motor and have it fitted by Land Rover. I guess they had more motors than they could fit in bodies!
