Thread: series III - with 300tdi's

Yes the 300Td1 is usually fitted to a R380 5 speed manual with an LT230 transfer and is usually a full time 4WD. Remember the Land Rover Tdi engines are the next generation development of the Land Rover 2 1/4 litre diesels, so fit in basically the same space.

If you are partial to part-time 4WD, there is a retrofit option where you fit the Santana part-time 4WD components into the LT230. There is a mob in South Australia who will supply the parts. Cant remember the name at present but will look it up later if you are interested.

Are these the two Series IIIs that were camped at Polo Flats for the 60th? I didn't get to have a really good look at them, but they both looked very professional and really neat from what I did see.

They are the ones. Really quite friendly blokes. I was walking past and was dragged into their campsite and had a stout forced into my hand. It was awful(ly good).

It was so bad I then had to be polite and look a the cars and the conversions.

I pointed out to Andy that his car had a split coolant header tank and suggested he replace it post haste.

They were nice blokes (really!) and the conversions were well done.

Hi there all

As for Andys trumpet abilties - after the Cooma weekend he did say he was seeking surjury to fimd the trumpet from his lower regions........no one has a sense of humor anymore........

I will put up some pictures of there vehciles over the next few days, still going through 100's of pictures.

For those whom want to know more about there vehicles just pm me and I will forward there telephone numbers - is was a well done job but I suspect it wasnt cheap....................what Land Rovers are though.

Most of the work was done buy a friend of these in Tassy - he has also converted a few to coil's...

All the best

Thought I would revive this thread.

If you transfered the 300tdi and gearbox (into a series 3 6cly), could you remove the full-time 4WD component and run manual locking hubs and therefore have a two wheel drive run about?

Maybe since this thread was begun a few more conversions have been completed??

My thoughts are that swaping the 200tdi or 300tdi with gearbox completely over would be the best. Particularly when you are starting with a series 3 186 holden.

cheers
