300tdi is it best to fit a kenlow fan on thanks

I thought the 300tdi was deemed to be better than the 200tdi.... what's the difference?

Talk to turner engineering but from what you have said I would be vary wary about the state of the block too the don't move much but enough to cause continued head gasket issues !

 

HI MATE if the head twisted that would do it yes or fit a second hand engine what you can hear running yes thanks jon

It's more refined but the 200 is more forgiving of abuse where as the 300 is less forgiving just a point to remember is that there are no new 200tdi cylinder heads produced by anyone ATM so they are in finite supply where as 300 heads are still made new !

Jon give turners engineering a call but yes if your thinking of a replacement engine you would only want to buy a lower mileage unit with known good service history !

HI MATE HOW much for a engine then thanks my engine done 216k on miles thanks jon

Jon I don't know it all depends how much the person selling it wants for it ! Like I say ask turners the will do a full recon shirt engine for a good price ! They have it all on there website !

cheers - do the tdci engines have problems? I've noticed a lot of Tdci Defenders for sale have had replacement 200tdi or 300tdi engines fitted.

 

Sorry to hijack your thread Jon!

All landrover engines have issues ! Tdcis yes but not sure as to what there a bit to modern for me to have many dealings with ! They wouldn't have had 200 or 300s fitted into them as they won't fit easily gearboxes chassis mounts axles engine bay all different !

I think I've confused myself - i think I've seen quite a few ads of tdi defenders replacing their faulty tdi engines (not tdci).

 

Maybe I should get a Hilux after all!

cheers

Known td5s to be retro fitted with 300tdi lumps !

 

Horses for courses you love em or hate them and there are more "experts" out there than you can shake sticks at I know what I know and when I dont know it I ask ! Can't say fairer than that
