UdderlyOffroad Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Having acquired a donor disco to convert my 110 to 200Tdi power I now need to strip all the bits I could possibly need out of it and get rid of the shell. The missus, patient as she is, will start to ask questions soon about the two rusting hulks on the drive!! :-) I have a fairly comprehensive shopping list of the bits I need from the 200 Tdi Conversion threads in the tech archive, but what of the other bits? My truck will mainly be used on-road as a daily driver and weekend plaything/camper - so is it worth slapping on the disco transfer box? The diffs? Thusfar the list is: Engine (obviously) All hoses+plumbing+air filter box Exhaust to donate pipe sections PAS bits Rad+intercooler+bits Rear axle for disc conversion (or straight swap? Is this possible?) Wheels All suggestions/thoughts gratefully recieved.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam300Tdi90 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 If putting on big tyres (Anything bigger than standard 205 tyres IMO), don't bother with the disco Transfer box, if not then yes put it on (will make it very good on long distances). Diffs are the same ratio (i think), but may be stronger (more splines, spread the load) on the newer disco axles, depending on age of course. Cannot comment on other things needed though.

Retroanaconda Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Can't use the Disco's rear axle complete for the 110 as it's not rated for the same load as the much stronger Salisbury unit is. Other than that your list looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Certainly strip as many spares as you can accommodate. Diffs, shafts, PAS box, track rods. If you don't use the Disco t/box I'm sure someone will buy it from you. Don't bin any more than you absolutely have to Rear axle swap wil depend on whether you currently have a Salisbury unit on your truck. If you have I'd stay with that, otherwise, yes the axle will swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Fuel filter and associated pipework to the lift and injector pumps. All hoses associated with the engine (air, water, oil) Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually am quite likely to stick with small tyres for on for road miles, and maybe stick a set of mud-plugging boots for the weekend on the defender steelies?

TBH I haven't checked what's currently fitted rear-axle-wise, all I know is that it's drums and I want to change them. I know, properly working drums at the back 'will' stop a 110 effectively, but nevertheless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
