Title: Walkthroughs Disco TDI into early 90 (for a mate)
Post by: carbore on April 24, 2010, 19:58:44

Hello,

The lad up the road form me is transfering a Disco 200 TDi into an old 90 TD. HE seems to think he needs to move some engine mounts is that correct. This makes no mention of movign mounts

Thanks,

all depends if you use a R380 gearbox, this has a longer bell housing and thus moves the engine mounts forward. the R380 is normaly mated to a 300TDi although you can fit it to a 200TDi. better gearbox than the LT77.

The engine mounts on the chassis are ok. You will need to  unbolt the brackets from the TD block and bolt these to the Tdi block, the holes are there ready to just bolt on.
