Ex Member Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 No, you need the proper 200TDI version in order to fit straight in. If you don't mind moving the engine, you can use one from a 300TDI. V8 ones are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m&mv80 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ive got a rangerover that i converted from a 3.5efi auto to a 200tdi auto using the original v8 gearbox, the only change was the engine back plate and flywheel so that it would mate to the gearbox, unfortunatley i cant tell you what it is or where to get one from as i got it off of ebay, the only other things were a slight modification to the bell housing for the starter motor as its on the other side, fit a kick down cable bracket and move the engine mounts on the chassis, its quite straight forward if you can source the adaptor HTH martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Motor & Deisel do an adapter plate but it's not cheap, Good conversion though beacuse you can use the V8 torque convertor which is bigger then the Tdi one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmiebrumie Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Worst part is I had a 300tdi auto Disco that took me over 5 week to put a non edc engine into an edc car & get running , wish now I had just sold the engine & broke the car for bits, would of had all I needed then & made mopre money on it , may look out for a rot box 200/300 auto or damaged, burn out out etc. Thanks for the replys so far John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m&mv80 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 not sure what you mean by pilot bearing (the one in the end of the crank shaft?) if so thats easy to change anyway had to do it on a manual conversion i done still its been in and running for three years and done about 25000 miles so cant be causing much of a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
