I am looking for a diesel replacement for my current gasoline. Does anyone know what might fit and where i can locate it. I know that used to send the with a Diesel engine.  

Answer
Bonjour Francois,

I've heard of Datsun diesel engines being swapped into older Disco's.  Japanese engines have been coupled as well.  

Isuzu engines have been installed by an Australian company named Perentie.  That's about all I know.

Most diesel installs have to deal with the Disco's gearbox.  The LT95 is hardest to mate with.
