Xtremeteam:
right,due to having problems with my last tdi & also having to just fit a new turbo to my 200 ive slightly lost confidence in the engine,anyway was offered a complete convo kit with a 2.8 isuzu & fitting kit yesterday,just wondering what any ones else thoughts are on taking the 200 out to put the 2.8 in.

Guardian.:
hi
sold one of my defenders begining of year had it for about 4 years and that had the 2.8 turbo derv isuzu in it. excellent bit of kit and is smooth and powerfull, i think fair to say better than the 200tdi in evry aspect, but only just, perhaps its just it never gave me any trouble, and all my tdi have little nigles every now and again. honestly though, wouldnot go to the trouble of swapping about the tdi is also an excellent engine and parts are so cheap and easy to get as isuzu pats are much dearer and even the dealers cannot get hold of most of them, plus dont bother asking an isuzu dealer for any info or spec, they blatently tell you to get lost!
so stick with the 200, get it working right and you will be alright?

I had the Nissan 2.8 six cylinder diesel in an earlier 90. Bloody brilliant engine, used to pi55 over my mates V8 through the gears !!
Have a nice exhaust note too [being a six pot]

Well worth considering

Hi, used to own a 2.8 turbo isuzu pickup went well with no problems, its a great engine! just be aware that parts are quite expensive (especialy from dealers!)and possibly a little harder to get hold of.
