Montego Tdi engine Fitting to Series Anyone?

(1/3) > >>

TUFFTEE:
Has anyone fitted a Montego Tdi Engine into a series Landie Before?
As i was told last night that it would go straight in? and match the G/Box Bellhousing Too?
Not too sure though?
Anyone tackled this?

EvilEd:
I know the Petrol Montegos had the A+ engine with was the successor to the A-Series (Mini's, Austin 1100/1800s, Wolseleys etc.)

No idea is that helps or not, I know didley about Landy engines....

thermidorthelobster:
The TDI is the Perkins Prima.  Very common conversion in Series Landys.

Various articles around:

The A+ was only in the baby 1300's (Mini 1275cc motor), the 1600 and 2 litre were O and S series (derived from MG B series).

That diesel is indeed the old perkins prima, later modified into the L series by Rover and eventually ended up in the first Freelanders complete with turbo and drive-by-wire. Not a bad old motor ! Would definately recommend the TDi version, in the old f/l it fairly whipped along - bags of torque to go around.

Cheers, Simon
