Just wondered if anyone else on here had done this before as my Disco 300tdi has come to MOT time and needs a new body.

The engine is great after being rebuilt just before xmas and the RRC I have doesn't run due to electrical issues but was fully re bodied before it's last MOT and is mint.

It's a 1995 Discovery 300TDi manual going into a 1988 RRC V8 3.5 auto

If anyone has any pointers or issues they came across please let me know!

Thankyou kindly,

Jon

 

where are you located? I am VERY interested in your project.

 

you can do anything with enough £'s! You are better off asking on a UK Landy forum. We don't see many Tdi's across the pond.
You are looking to replace the ZFH4 with an R380. It would be a heck of a lot easier mating a LT77 if you could find one.

 

Hi guys!

I am in the UK and have decided to remove the Disco body and replace it with the RRC's body (the pics show why). I am making up a blog with pics as I couldn't find a write up anywhere I thought I'd make one. http://82.38.244.203//forum/viewtopi...5c9235974cc774

 

With he current economy here £'s are not going to be available but if I need anything the Disco's spare panels and the spare RRC mechanicals will be sold to fund anything.

I do already ave a few parts that will be fitted once the Disco body is off such as new UJ's for the props and poly bushes.

 

Wow well this became a great project to tackle, I do like a good challenge!

Have a look at the the blog in this link: Trans Pennine Off Road events • View forum - RangeRover to see how things have panned out!!!!!

Well happy,



oh, cost me nothing as everything sold paid for everything bought (I love eBay) also funded a new set of mud tyres ready for winter.

 

Very nice thread that! would like to see the bumper fitted as well.

 

Still working on it along with the last bits of wiring.

I have a whole bunch of off road gear to go on too including rock sliders, tank gaurd and hitch and a filler neck gaurd (there goes the fuel economy!) but still waiting on the snorkel kit before I start. Will try and fit it all in one day lol!

Pretty sweet!

 

oh yeah? you fab'n all the armor? filler neck guard that's a first for me. a second set of hands some irn bru and vodka and bob's your uncle.
