Which Diesel Engine is the best?

(1/5) > >>

Dr Strangeglove:
Just pondering a change from a 3.9 auto to a Diesel with manual box :?.

Which is the best to fit and why? :-k  
Which is likely to be more economical to do the work (cost of conversion plates etc) :? ,
Which is the most readily available? O:)
Which is the toughest? ](*,)
And finally which is nicest to have powering your drive? :twisted:  

Probably opened up a can of worms here but I am sure many will enjoy giving their opinion whilst many others will enjoy reading them. :wink:

Oh – and very important – which should be avoided and why? :shock:

Looking forward to an enjoyable discussion – thanks in advance for any advice given!

Oops - almost forgot - how much is it going to cost (ish) :(kerching):

Regards

Mick

well my Factory 300 Tdi takes some beating ;)
usual conversion is to a 200 tdi as most disco parts bolt straight on.
also all the usual suspects -Daihatsu 2.8 / perkins (sloooooooooooooow), nissan etc .. basically anything thatll fit!!!
also consider the GMC 6.2 v8 diesel - what a beast of an engine  :twisted: ..
sure someone else will throw some info in

davidlandy:
as has been said 200 or 300tdi

extreme90:
200  :lol:
end off  :twisted:

AbyssDJ:
200tdi. cheaper than a 300, and not really any different. apparently, 300's are quieter and more refined, which for most of the part seems true, HOWEVER our 200 is as quiet as a 300 for some bizarre reason.

plenty of power when you want it, and with a bit of tweaking even more so ;)
