200tdi into a 300tdi

<< < (2/2)

andyb:
You best bet if you want to replace is too look for a 300Tdi engine even if it is from an LR with manual tranmission and swap over the bits required for auto transmission.

There is no difference between Discovery and Defender 300Tdi engines, so that will make no odds.

HTH

if you want a decent diy project why dont u buy a recon head and then take  all your bottom end out and rebuild it  and put it all in together? would basically be a recon engine, plus u would then gather a bit more knowledge of hows things work etc , and would have  more of an idea if things went wrong etc etc just an idea

muddyjames:
that is a good idea but my mechanical knowledge at the moment goes as far as a wheel bearing which that in itself took me 4 hours to do under a tarp in the rain! Can do it faster now obviously.

TBH engine inners freek me out. Dont know why. I think it has something to do with springs twanging out and getting me or something. An engine change isnt very appealing but as I have 2 mates who are a couple who keep taking engines in and out like a yo yo they have offered to help me change it. My knowledge will grow more then hopefully.

try PM'ing Solihull mick, didnt he do a 200 into a 300 conversion not so long ago?
