BogMonster Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If it is a 1993 model then it will be a 200Tdi engine and the dash is completely different. I don't know if the Discovery 2 and the late D1 (1995-98 model year) dashes are interchangeable, they were visually very similar or maybe even the same, but I'd be surprised if they were identical in how they fitted into the body. Post up some photos if you can and we can have a look, but I think it may be very difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will fit shape wise into the early D1 but as you say fixings and integrating the instruments and surrounding interior is going to raise a few issues.

SHABBIR Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hi Dear SIR'S. Please can anyone help me out with this. I want to install a D2 DASH INTO D1 1993 model TDI. I have removed the dashboard from the D1 and tried to fix the D2 dash in but failed due to the back plate under the dashboard (picture attached) which is very wide and the D2 dash wont sit correctly. Please can you advise and will sincerely appreciate if provided with some photos and videos. Thanks best regards Shabbir.

BogMonster Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Weird - the time has changed on the original post so they are now in the wrong order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonimouse Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The 300Tdi dash will fit in both RRC and D1 - it's not simple, especially if you want a proper job. One would wonder why? As the 200 Conran dash is simpler in all aspects except heater maintenance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 LT77 use ATF only, 75W/80 not the approved fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 ATF is a 75W80. 75W80 is just a measurement of the oil's viscosity, not the "type" of oil. If you get a "manual transmission fluid" with a 75W80, that will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnarne Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 We've mounted a 300tdi dash (similar to D2 dash) in a 200tdi chassis. But we also replaced most of the bulkhead as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
