yellowmitch Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi all, I have a '96 Disco 300 series 3.9 V8 manual. It's imacculate, but I want it to be a Tdi. I also have a scrapper disco 300Tdi XS of the same age and also in manual. The scrap XS has ALL the neccesary parts (I beleive) What do I need to do to make it all happen? Finally, would anyone be able to answer 2 questions :- Can I get the Cruise control working with the tdi? Would anyone have an aircon compressor bracket for me to install the aircon compressor on the tdi with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 What do I need to do to make it all happen? You need to get busy Can I get the Cruise control working with the tdi? No. You could if the 300tdi was EDC (with auto transmission). You can only install aftermarket CCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowmitch Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi there. I have a '96 V8i ES discovery which I want to convert to 300Tdi within the next 2 weeks. I also have a scrap '96 300Tdi GS to act as the donor vehicle. I should have all the neccessary parts. What work is involved? Do I need to weld any mounts on?

cipx2 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 What was wrong with the old thread you've opened?! Couldn't you just use it to ask the new questions you have? Have a look here: page1 and page2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, on the 300 tdi the air con comp sits on top of the timing belt housing, as you look at the engine from front of the car it's on the left, there are 4 bolt holes if I remember, what are you doing with the carpets in the scrap 300, what colour are they and what condition are they in.

yellowmitch Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 A wee bit of help with this one would be great. I have discovered that I will need a different A/c compressor and pipes, the Tdi crossmember, weld on new engine mounts, change the accelerator cable and a few other bits. What about the electrics though? Thanks Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
