New engine options....
« on: November 23, 2005, 21:02:21 »
Right, my mates TD has finally given up. We're  going to replace it with a diesel lump, but we dont know which one. Thought of a P38 diesel, but that sounds hard...

What are your thoughts?Pros, cons of different engines etc etc. Id doesnt have to be a landrover engine.. I just dont know what options there are!

If my TDI ever goes bang i'll be after a GMC V8 6.2/6.5 diesel.  Not as dear as you'd think.

User Dazzawhipple on here was selling a 200tdi from a disco - that would be a very sensible choice. Everything fits , only th eexhaust needs a bit of modding.

dunno if he still has it.

disco TDi first,

isuzu 2.8 2nd


PLease please make a good job of the exhaust if you do a disco TDi as i was looking at one the other day that was fitted by heath robinson & wurzel gumage,

instead of modding the exhaust had moved the slave cylinder back so had a big long rod that went round the exhaust

The IVECO engines used to be highly rated, and still are by their users.
Frogs Island used to supply/fit them.
They fitted one to Frank ('LRM' columnist) Elsons 110 Station Wagon; 'PKV' 10years ago & it's still going strong

What about the 'Brazilian' 2.8 Tdi?

also please remove the thought of a BM diesel out your head as that would be a nightmare,

TDi is No.1 for me

Fitted one after running V8 for years, excellent choice and if mine goes bang, it will be another Tdi
