Outer Limits 4x4 Board

whats involved in bolting a tdi to lt95 box what clutch to use ect is it a easy swap or pain in the arse the boss is saying i cant get the defender i want unless i get rid of my my rangie but i just cant do it seing its not realy worth anything i would hate to see it just get scraped

you need a special bellhousing adaptor, Zeuis (sp) in the UK do one i believe.

thats a pain because i dont want to put in a later model gearbox i wonder how hard one of these adaptors are to find

The LT95 would be less than ideal behind a 200Tdi as it is a wide ratio box. But it may work.

It would probably be easier/better to fit a 4BD1 instead. The adaptor plates are available (but getting a bit hard to find).

only reasion i want the lt95 is cause its strong and its all ready there . and the 200 or 300tdi are easy to find. im not real intresed in useing it on road and i think off road the 200 or 300 would be fine. on road i could see how the ratios would let it down

so far no joy with a conversion kit found some enginering place in england that looks like thay make one but no reply to mail yet. what would you expect to pay for a 200tdi?

This mob used to do it. I went down this path of trying to find a LT85 or LT95 plate three years ago. Contacted Dave at Ashcroft in the UK --- gonna cost a motza to do, so I didn't

exact same reasion i have changed my mind. can buy alot of petrol and wd40 for water crosings for the price of the engine and conversion plate and just as i typed this i got an email from zeus and thay do them for about $1000 au but the transport is a real killer i would imagine plus around 3k for a tdi theres a tdi disco in a yard doin the road for $7800 if the prices are going to get that low im better off waiting a bit and buy somthing like that

Good adsvice, after looking around to repalce the 3.5 petrol motor in the old Disco - cause it's gonna need works soon I'm sure, the best option is to wait for the second-hand Tdi prices to fall further and buy the whole car that way if you keep the old one, you get some spares as well!

un less i crash it i cant see my self ever parting with the old girl. how ever there is a izuzu on ebay at the moment with an adaptor
