misterh Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Has anyone got pictures of a 200tdi ladder frame which clearly shows the gearbox end of things and attachment to it? depending where you read, people have posted the ladder removal with the engine attached to the gearbox while other posts including the maintenance manual say otherwise. Seems a bit of a daft design to do it the latter that way.I could see them locating the frame on dowels or something at the back end,but you'd think it'd be a straight forward job to drop the oil pan and ladder frane to access the con rods for re-ringing the pistons.

western Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 gearbox must be removed to remove the ladder frame from bottom of engine block, there are bolts from the flywheel housing that screw into the ladder frame rear face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Western, do you think those other bolts were missed on the other posts? still wouldn't mind pictures if anyone has them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Can't remeber for definite but Discovery 200tdi maybe slightly different, sorry I don't have a photo with the flywheel removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 http://shop.glencoyne4x4.com/flywheel-housing-modification-discovery-200tdi-conversion-33-p.asp If I understand it correctly... The Defenders that use the 200TDI have a flywheel housing and bellhousing that use counterdunk bolts into the ladder frame. These bolts are hidden behind the bellhousing. The Discovery 200TDI has the bolts go through the bellhousing, thus accessible. So it depends on which gearbox (Defender or Disco LT77S) is used.

Ex Member Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 This is what the 200TDI Defender flywheel housing looks like. The 4 bolts at the bottom are hidden behind the bellhousing and bolt into the ladder frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I recently stripped a 200TDi Defender engine and the ladder frame had no bolts through from the flywheel housing - just those from underneath. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
