21j Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have a 88" series III which I am looking at transfering the body onto a 1998 300tdi defender chassis. The Chassis will come with Axles, diffs, 5 speed gearbox, 300tdi engine and bulkhead. Can anybody tell me if this has been done and what I should be taking from the defender and what from the series? What problems I might encounter. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roybatty666 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 dont know about series 3's but for series 1's u need a lt77 for this. hope this helps Isn't that because the 300tdi and r380 sit further back so have a bigger transmission tunnel and aperture in the bulkhead?

western Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Yes, & the engine sits up & further forward than any previous 4 cylinder engine in a 90/110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 My 88" rangie chassis has series bodywork, with R380 and a 200tdi. The engine sits high and far forward, and the gearstick is only just infront of the seatbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine sits high and far forward, and the gearstick is only just infront of the seatbox. I think it is because you might have a Disco or range R380 with the t/c lever in front of the main gear lever. The defender one has the main gear lever in front of the t/c lever...
