    I don't know anybody that's done it to a disco but I do know two people that have done it in 109's.

    I think the biggest challenge would be if you have a Post 96 OBDII Disco and trying to get it past inspection with the 300TD. Other then that just making it fit and run would not be too ticky if you have good fab skills and a machine shop that will do custom work.

    Thanks but it would not do me much good anyway since mine is a 97 and has to pass emissions inspection. So it would be more trouble then it's worth at this point.

    Rover had diesels available in over-seas discos; Robison service might be able to give you more info on that swap?
