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 :)

 

Hi mate would be better to fit a better engine or a 200tdi thanks Jon

If it was me I'd stay with a good 300. 200s parts are starting to dry up like I said above there are only second hand heads avaliable no new 200 heads ! Injectors are recon only for 200s now

 

John as I said in pm get it to someone with the know how and tools to check the block face and head for warping 300s have a nasty habit of warping the blocks of cooked up to much and as fat sad I know it writes the block off as it may not have enough material to alow for a trueing skim without affecting the piston to head clearance
