Xtremeteam:
no bad,gonna have a wee shufty at the 200 before i finally decide that its coming out,did you get the convo kit for your engine?

karloss:
I did mate aye. Got the exhaust down pipe too, better than bodging one up. Whole kit is *still* gathering dust on the garage floor. Winter project now! Waiting till the summer rush has died down in the garage, it's absolutely mental just now. Scraping dead tourists up at some rate just now!! :roll:  :shock:

Miniman:
No mike dont do it. Keep the TDI its ok is the isuzu but expensive on parts and also a totaly different beast........ also parts for ya landy are very available because ya have plenty of mates with them.... Try bfore ya buy... see if anyone round you or going to clog has one and have a go....

Henry Webster:
The 2.8 Isuzu is a fantastic and reliable engine, the best Isuzu made.  I've driven plenty of Troopers and PUs with them in, but not a LR.

I would, however concur with the general opinion that, It's not that much better than a 200tdi and the parts are significantly more expensive, believe me my dad was an Isuzu dealer!

If you do go for it - see whether you can get part numbers for Vauxhall equivalent parts as they could well be cheaper than the Isuzu dealers.  Also worth getting a genuine UK trooper engine and if you can get the chassis number of the donor vehicle all the better, it will make it easier for tracing parts with Isuzu.

I vote stick with the 200Tdi.
