I went and had a look at a 1998 300tdi disco at fowles auctions on tuesday, but the car had 300,000klms but it also looked like it was a flood car so i gave it a miss.

Does anyone know if the 300tdi can bolt up to a v8 auto by changing the bellhousing?
If you check the manual it tells you how to change your V8 to a TDi using the V8 auto. The box has to come forward 20mm, the V8auto has a thinner tranny to transfer case adapter than the Tdi, the bell housings are different but the manual says you can use the v8 one. Tells you jack **** about the Torque converter though.
