So. Cal born and raised with zero rust. Converted to Land Rover 300 TDI turbo diesel and 5 speed manual transmission. I purchased a 1997 disco 2 door in germany, cut it in half and shipped it home to California. This conversion is as close to a factory installed 300 TDI as possible.
Engine received an overhaul prior to swap. New rings. bearings, seals, timing belt pullies and injection pump reseal. Truck has 30, 000 miles on engine since overhaul.. Tactical Rover front winch bumper. BFG all terrain tires with less than 2000 miles on them. Retrofit driveshaft rag joint to conventional yoke and universal joints. This is a much stronger than the rag joint setup. 2 ½” to 3” inch straight pipe exhaust. K&N air filter. EGR bypass.
New or newer parts. Fresh cylinder head, head gasket and bolts. New alternator. New water pump. New belt tentioner. New vacuum pump. New diesel fuel lift pump. New thermostat and hoses. Steering gear box replaced with NOS unit about a year ago. This is the 50th anniversary edition and comes equipped with leather center console cover, contrasting piped leather seating with seat heaters, chrome rear bumper, stainless door pulls and several other options that were not available on other models
I installed euro code head lights.
Power locks and factory keyless entry with 1 controller
2 CD changer cartridges
Has working front and rear A/C. this option was not available on factory TDI
All factory Cruise Control equipment is intact just need throttle cable diaphragm installed to complete system. This option was not available on TDI models
Rover runs great. Fires right up and runs sweet. Exhaust sounds great and is really fun to drive. Shifts thru all gears up and down perfectly. R380 diff lock model manual transmission and trasfer case shifts easily in and out of low range and diff lock.
22-35mpg all depends on your foot.

I'm selling this Discovery because IT CAN NOT BE SMOGGED AS A DIESEL IN CA due to new emission regulations. She would require a new CARB sticker. The registration fees are paid current. I never had a problem with the emissions until this year when they changed the testing equipment and the requirements for '98 Diesels in California. Without this CARB sticker and emission certificate it is CANNOT BE DRIVEN on the roads California. Please know the laws and emissions regulations for your state prior to bidding.
Obd2 is still functional and can be tested as a gas car if you know a guy.
Condition is good for the age. Never been in an accident but had a fender replaced once. Oil change place closed hood on some tools and fender was damaged and replaced. Factory roof rack bows new never used still in packaging. I have always kept up on the maintance on this truck.
Ok the bad or should I say regular land rover stuff.
Head liner is sagging here and there.
I removed pins from ignition switch. I went thru 3 in a year and got tired of dealing with it.

Washer fluid bottle is cracked
