200tdi are bullet proof motors ,if serviced ! had one in a disco and it was on 384k when i sold it. sorry about your bad luck but i would say big ends/ crank. dont bother fixing it ,rip it out and stick another 200tdi in,300tdi will fit but you have to fu*** about abit. might as well check clutch and release arm while apart. one /two days max!

 

Im looking for a new engine as we speak, its my main car so im stuck with out it really, fitting it shouldnt be a problem once i get my hands on one. :001_smile:

What do you think of this people?

 

200 tdi engine & box all ancillaries on eBay (end time 06-Nov-09 18:46:25 GMT)

 

Seems good as its got all the bits and bobs with it which i can keep for spares :)

 

Gonna try and get to my local (ish) landrover breaker aswell to see if theres a engine i can see running before i buy it.

disco or defender? i think the turbos in a diffrent place for a discovery??

 

could always sell the gear and transfer box to me :)

 

Mines a defender, not sure what that engine is, il give him a ring in the morning i think.

 

Now thats tempting, if i did end up buying that id deffiently consider selling those bits on, get some of my money back :) lol

its a shame your not more local. i'v a 200 tdi disco lieing for spares.

 

i cant remember if its just the turbo thats different or if theres somthing with the way the injection pump sits too. between the 200 disco and defender

 

am i right in thinking the 300 was the same in the disco and defender?

Before giving up on your engine check its not something simple. It does sound a bit terminal. If a hose or union fails it will empty the sump inless than a minute. as soon as you see the oil light drop the clutch and coast to the side turning engine off if safe to do so. Often the failure of a 50p component can send an engine to the scrap yard. it could be something like the oil supply to brake pump. Sorry to hear your problem hope its simple.
