Does anyone know if it is possible to change the 1.8 petrol engine with a td4 or di engine. I have a 1999 1.8 petrol freelander with 122k on the engine the body is perfect. thanks

Sounds like a big job to me. Would the engine mounts be in the same place for instance? Wiring looms may need to be added/removed. ECU needs replacing. Very big job, no wonder no one will attempt the job. I bet if the money was right some one would undertake the mamoth task.
@V8mate. Why don't you just buy a V6 Freelander? I'm selling mine you know

40k miles on an X reg (2000 model).

Just to complicated ,ok the engine would not be a problem but all lecy controls and bits fer ya diesel,plus more weight to the front ,na forget it you would have to be a rocket man to attempt it ,[eh] the final cost would outweigh going out and buying one, have heard there a real decent v6 for sale on here. . .

Ming, no one on planet Earth wants this Hippo you speak of. Maybe you could put the feelers out on other Worlds

I have a suspician the price is going to drop real soon. Under 6K touch
