TonkaIIa Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi all, I have a chance of purchasing a Discovery 200tdi engine to install into my Series IIa (88"). Looking for some advice on purchasing this type of engine, I've been told I will get the following parts with the engine - Engine (Obvious) Starter Motor Air Intake Gear Flywheel Turbo Exhaust Manifold Fuel Filter & Pump Exhaust Downpipe Radiator & Intercooler including hoses to be purchased separately. No alternator comes with the above, but would use my Series one if this is possible. The engine has covered around 110k miles What other parts would I need from the discovery for me to carry out this converstion, and any signs to look at for when buying these engines? The engine has sat for a while, has not been turned over or started so would not be able to hear or see the engine in action. Any advice would be much appreciated.

western Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 wouldn't buy it if you can't hear/see it running, you could buy a mot fail 200tdi disco & then have everything you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have found one this morning just 10 miles from the house, started first time with no smoke or rattles. Ran very smoothly well please. Will get everything from the engine bay for a song.
