philbert Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ok i would like to know the differences between the 200 and the 300 tdi seat boxes. i can get a new 300 tdi seatbox for not a lot would it fit my 200tdi? is the only difference the gearbox aperture? (big word!) could i just graft on the aperture from the 200 seatbox to make it fit? help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I think it's to do with the tunnel for the bell housing. I am sure they are bigger on a 300Tdi version (fitted with R380 rather than LT77 for 200Tdi) HTH Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 A slightly different area, but still with seat boxes - are the battery recesses under the passenger seat different?? My 200 has a deeper recess in the bottom, whereas my 300 is flat... Is this normal?? Or has mine ben replaced/repaired at some point??

bango690 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i am half way through putting a 300tdi engine, zf 4 speed gearbox and the transer box out of a disco into a 1986 landy 90! i had never noticed the difference in the seatbox untill i could not get a bolt in the right hole! lol! but after a lot of cursing decided to make the 2.5 nad seat box fit!

patch1 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 When my dads first Defender 90 was sort of rebuilt we used a 300Tdi seat box and tunnel and it fitted fine. Oh it was a C reg 2.5D with LT77, was brown on the inside, green on the outside with blue rear window panels and white roof and back door. We still dont know why it was chrisend Patch.

19MART82 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 i know this is an old thread but a google search has brought me here,if i fit a 300tdi/td5 full seat box sound deadening trim on my 200tdi/lt77 there would be a gap left round the gearbox tunnel ? but otherwise would fit? if so how much of a gap would it leave?

Mo Murphy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 It does fit but leaves a gap of about 3'' ish on the drivers side of the tunnel. Not the end of the world, I've lived with for the last couple of years Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
