TDi90:
for trips abroad and stuff especially if you have a knackered engine i would do the simple 200tdi replacement.
buy a disco 200tdi (usually bout £400-600) and stick it in.
more reliable, faster, quieter etc... etc...
im sure someone will back me up on this!

Thanks for the reply,
the only problem with this option is that i would have to pay someone to do the job as i do not have the tools and space to do it,
so far the cheapest quote i have had for the conversion is £1000,thats on top of the price of the motor.

TBM:
welocme to the world of military land rovers. You'll get told by those that have never owned one, that they've been maintained to the highest standard. The harsh reality is they've usually been thrashed gutless by the drivers until they break, then parts are replaced. My 77K series 3 is now on second engine and gearbox. Engine died around 48k, gearbox had no synchromesh and I've just replaced it.

As you've said, if you slowly go on fixing bits, eventually it will become a reliable vehicle.

It will be reasonably easy to work on, even with a small amount of skill. Use forums to gain advice, and work on first principles - they are usually very basic and straightforward.

However, any engine is an improvement on a 2.5NA - perhaps the most gutless thing I've ever had the misfortune to encounter!

You obviously have never had a 2.25!. 2.5 is like a rocket compared to the 2.25 ;)

No, I've never had the pleasure(?) of a 2.25 diesel! I can only imagine!
