nickliv Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 My 1991 defender has a petrol engine, it having been nailed in to replace the TDi that lived there previously (No Idea why, It was a Liveridge special for a bloke I work with, don't think he could stretch to a diesel) What I'm wondering is, will the 200TDi from a disco go onto the 2.5 petrol mounts? That is all I'm wondering, as I'm pretty happy that the rest of the thing is do - able. And as the petrol is running about as well as Paula Radcliffe on the way to the toilet, I'm thinking sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickliv Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes, disco 200tdi and 2.5 petrol engine mounts are the same. Excellent news. Now to add something I forgot. It's non PAS at the mo, will I be able to fit the disco PAS box, or should I be on the look out for a defender one? I take it that the plumbing frmo pump to box is relatively straightforward.

cabell Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sorry, bad intel on my previous post. You will need to remove the motor mounts from the 2.5 petrol and install them on the disco engine. They will bolt right on with no drama. Disco PAS box should be fine. I'll be doing that bit myself in a couple of weeks (2.3 petrol to disco 200 w/ 300tdi turbo, RHD to LHD conversion.)
