Turn your Disco into a lean mean driving machine with a 300 TDI conversion.

Can you afford another Discovery? Maybe find one with a blown motor and slap the diesel in it. I'd hate for you to do the swap on your current motor. You should see how long it will last. It's testament to what a Disco should be!.

My engine is still going as strong as ever.
My thoughts were to buy the TDI and trans and save them for later.
IF I were to buy it then I would stop changing the oil on my truck and just drive it until it let loose, then drop the diesel in.
