300tdi into series 2a

[Yoshi]

Well after getting a £700 quote to get me disco through an mot i decided that seeing as how the engine seized in the 2a (which was a 200tdi conversion) i might as well stick this engine in and make 1 working motor out of the 2!!!

Any differences that i should know about???

[J.D.]

The engine mounts are slightly different from memory, and I don't think they are interchangeable. The 300tdi has Exhaust Gar Recirculation and a fly by wire throttle, but this can be converted using the 200Tdi throttle cable. The 300tdi also has different pipework for the air intake and a few other bits which may need fiddling with to get to fit.

Hope this helps, if you need any more info, gibve me a shout.

later 300tdi s have the drive by wire my early 300 tdi doesnt just the normal cable connection to the injector pump
the down pipe is different on the 300 aswell  and I think youll have to change the clutch housing on the back of the engine and swap it for the 200tdi one

[Yoshi]

OK, its an N-reg discovery, so its not got all the ecu and crap on it lol

I wont personally be doing the work as i dont have the equipment, but a mate of mine is doing it and am trying to get an idea of what will need doing.

[J.D.]

Yep, forgot about the exhaust downpipe, can be modded with flexi pipe which is easiest or you can buy custom made stuff. Rocky Mountain do them I thibk,

And to think i not long shelled out for the 200tdi downpipe conversion :( lol

Can that not be modified, give me a bell on 07725085775 if you need any more help mate, im in the workshop allday so may come up with ideas as I lay my eyes on things!

[Yoshi]

Cheers for that mate, have made note of the number.  Will wait til tomorrow before posting too many questions to ya, as i will see what the mechanic picks up that may need sorting!  Then i can hit it all in one go!

[J.D.]

Ok, I am in college all tomorrow teaching about fish! What joy! But will get back to you when I can. Im interested because one of the projects I have just started - between customers cars has started with a very much shortened Disco chassis anda 300tdi Disco engine, so not far removed from your IIa.

Pity you don't live nearer as I would give you a hand for sure, it shouldn't be that hard to do if there is a 2000Tdi in there already.

[Yoshi]

LOL i am the worlds most useless person to do with mechanical stuff!!!

I would attempt it myself if i had half a clue of even where to begin, or even the tools to do the job!

But alas its not meant to be, so selling them both and maybe buy a v8 rangie on lpg for trundling in!!

Try it yourself, it really isnt too hard to do. The hardest bit will be lining the engine up with the box and mounts as you will have to replace the mounts. If not, how much do you want for the 300tdi Disco, collected and cash?

[landymadjay]

Hi and il be interested in the series how much?

Jay

[Yoshi]

Basically i would like enough for both of them in order to get a replacement vehicle.

Something like a v8 rangie auto on lpg, that would be nice!

The series has some extra bits with it (look in the for sale section) and is on ebay for £750 buy it now, but as i say, as long as i can get a motor with the money from both then i would happy!!

[landymadjay]

I would take it off you for 750 but just looked and it says your 190miles away from me GUTTED :(

Jay

[Yoshi]

That shouldnt put you off! lol, it drove over 500 miles before it stopped working, drove from here to London, then did the L2B, then got back onto the m25! and that was the end of that hehehe
