Probably now also missed getting it to the mother-in-law's for my sister-in-law to bring back too. We shall see...otherwise, it can sit and wait a while.

ouch !
I used to get the sister in law and her boyfriends to bring race car stuff back for me. Poor bugger had a dry sump pump in his luggage, and on the way through he got bailed up in LA by customs and searched !
Thankfully this was years before 9/11, otherwise we may have been reading his obit.

Been wrong before though.

I think I am wrong - it was the turbos that had hi & low manifolds for 200 discos & defenders wasn't it?

No idea about alternators & pulleys in hindsight

Basically the disco 200 Tdi was low and wide and the defender 200 Tdi was tall and thin
Both had the V belt and not the serpentine like the 300 TDi

You are right the 200 TDi disco was more powerfull by about 2 bhp. form memory the defender was 109 bhp and the disco was 111 bhp .

Why do they do that? Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if the same engine had the same power regardless of which vehicle it was fitted to?

totally different inlet and exhaust manifold might have something to do with it.

Ahh - OK. I thought it was engine management or deliberate de-tuning for the defenders.

mmm sounds about right to me . They have changed it to air mail only and expensive. My brother bought me a large Pueter Camel Trophy 110 Model and was excited untill he went to the post office and they wanted 80 pounds to post it over. Lucly a mate of his was coming out to sydney a week later so she bought it over with her. And then on to another mate who posted though the Emap post system to me in Brisbane.

Too dear for me - it's going to the MIL's and I'll pick it up when back there late June. I don't need it urgently, I just wanted a 100A job, and this was very cheap, I thought.

Going to be a tight squeeze in the case with a steering guard and brake discs though.
