Argh yes, of course! The Diesel Turbo was introduced in '86, which would make the very earliest ones on 'C' plates so if Geoblokes' picture is right, the vent must have been introduced some time during the '87 MY.

When i have fitted 200s we have often tried the 2.5td Metal air filter.

With 300s for ease as engine sits further fwd we used def 300 filter boxes. I expect ther 300disco one would go where td5 goes near bulkhead?

I would drop engine in with rad, wings on and see what fits best

Thanks all. I think the engine will sit exactly where he current 200tdi set up is, as I’m not changing the lt77 gearbox I currently have. I will keep options open though. Still some time off as this is the current state of the rebuild
