And then click Check for updates. In the transfer case we install the shift interlock. What about the rest of the upgrades? The correct brake pedal assembly is installed along with the dead pedal for your left foot and more. I checked that torque was fully inserted and tied it in place with rope and a wooden spacer. The reason we install the correct factory cooler is that if a repair is needed you can just order up the replacement part.
By upgrading to a larger intercooler and 'tweaking' the injection pump you can also increase the hp and torque considerably! Also 5ltr of oil didn't cover the box + transfer so have to get another litre. Now that the gearbox has been installed now it is time to hook everything up. Hi all, For those of you who have converted their Defender 300tdi's to Automagic's from the Disco 1's - have any of you rigged up a Transmission Warning Light or temperature gauges? We've been doing these conversions for over a decade and we know them inside and out and we stock all the parts for the conversion in house. If you already have a 300tdi , then as mentioned its easy , esp if you get tdi auto box from disco. Box can move free lly backwards with out any hangups. All you pay is import duty and fees direct to the customs agent Tdi conversions generally involve; - unless you have a 4cylinder engine you will need to move and fabricate engine mounts on chassis-replace auto transmission with diesel one. His other car is a Toyota 86 which exists purely to drive in circles on racetracks, and that's when he isn't racing his Nissan Pulsar.
. I don't do many miles per year so the fuel consumption wouldn't be a huge problem. You may also need to change the auto box output to a longer shaft to suit the def T box - theres something about that on Dave's site. . In fact it was easier to do the peddal box with the engine out. £2k to buy the kit.
The Defender on test is a short wheelbase 90 in Hard Top bodystyle. We'll help make your Defender everything you want it to be! Thanks for the reply Andy. Your wife needs to drive any defender before you get into the auto thing , as the reality of a defender can be a bit of a trial for avg car driver. So rather then start drilling and tapping holes in railsmy friend cut a section out off the cross member and welded in some nice thickbox section to extend it by a small amount. It is easy to get a bit more power and torque out of the Defender, which reduces the need to be quick and precise with the gearshifts anyway. The best option is to have the correct transmission to go with the tdi engine you just purchased and know that it is going to drop into place where your original one used to be and work with your new tdi as it should giving you years of happy service.
Ok, thanks for the info! Since my early childhood I have been looking with awe at these beauty machines, but until I moved to Australia never had a good justification to own one. Hopefully have box in and all plumbed up tommorow night. This image shows the 110 coming along nicely. In our conversions the owner of the truck can call into any Land Rover dealership or specialist and get the right parts giving a faster and trouble free repair. It's a 300tdi and they make 300tdi Auto Discos, I figured it would be about as fast as they are so not in other words? You might also consider a set of cross-axle differential locks so you can crawl, feet off pedals, up really rutted and rocky ground. In our conversions we make sure not to cut or hack out any parts. .
The 110 also gets new Defender 130 steel wheels that we have epoxy primed and painted in the body color. I've got a good size oil cooler on her but I'd like a transmission warning light or some sort of gauge to let me know how hard I'm pushing her. Upon entering this site, you can see what definition and how many definitions for Antimalware and Antivirus you can download for Windows Defender. Well it leaks enough oil, the bolts should be well lubed! I had a mate who was working on his car help to remove and refit box. In the long run doing it right will always save money and headache. First job in the morning is to set the manual box in and do some minor fabrication to tunnel as the shifters appear to sit in slightly different locations. As you can obviously see Windows Defender can be updated via an automatic way.
If I was working out coatings I'd probably say: V8 auto average 18-20mpg Tdi auto average 22-24mpg Which for a modest annual mileage is not likely to amount to much difference in total cost. The typical auto conversion means a heavier car, and the 2010 Defender has six speeds whereas the typical auto conversion for this vehicle has only four, which means less efficiency all around. So to make that happen the truck goes up. You will need the engine backplate as they differ from auto and manual. We sell many of these engines to clients who want to change from their Rover V8 engine to a tdi, which is a little more involved. Here you can see the project a little further along.
It prevents you from shifting the transfer case while the automatic is in gear. One of common misconceptions is that the 200 and 300 series numbers relate to cylinder capacity for the 300tdi and 200tdi when infact they are both 2500cc. I swapped the levers over due to the one i had being seized. The gun rack has soft rubber pockets that protect expensive guns and it also has velcro straps that hold the guns from jumping out of the rack when off roading. And likely low to mid 20's mpg at best. The torque converter should be with the box, the oil cooler wont be , but they are easy to sort , although the pipes on the box would be good as it gives you spigots to connect to, also the temp sensor warning is on the pipe near the cooler end.
