I am looking for a 300 tdi engine. Ideally one I can hear running.

go away and get 31 more posts…...

Ianster10 · Jul 20, 2013

Will 31 more posts get me a new engine?

Dr_evil · Jul 20, 2013

no but it'll mean you can actually use the for sale section……instead of cluttering up the non sale/wanted forum areas

Ianster10 · Jul 20, 2013

Oh ok, thanks for your help. What a useful forum.

Dr_evil · Jul 20, 2013

they are really noisy, so you should be able to hear one a mile off

Ianster10 · Jul 20, 2013

What is the reason?

as far as I know its to stop people coming on here just to sell/promote crap

Ianster10 · Jul 20, 2013

Well I have a problem with a siezed engine. As such I thought I would come to a Landrover forum for some help. Silly me.

you should request help to try and salvage your seized engine mate.

then after you've posted back and forth getting expert advice, if its really fooked, someone will point you towards a 300tdi near you

Ok, can anyone help me with my siezed engine?

your not 1st to wait until they got problem to come on here, some complain about rules, but they are for reason usually as far as I can see. think you can still browse for sales cant you?

how did it seize?

lack of oil? or some other cause

Ianster10 · Jul 21, 2013

Oil return pipe came off at speed. All oil drained in a matter of seconds.

Ianster10 · Jul 21, 2013

The whole thing ground to a halt. Once it had cooled down it would restart with no clanging but as it warmed up the clanging started.

Ianster10 · Jul 21, 2013

The fact that it will actually start is a good sign I assume?

Bromsgrove Defender · Jul 21, 2013

Depends what extra damage running it when it's knackered has done.

The only way you'll know is whip off the head and have a look see

Ianster10 · Jul 21, 2013

BD, thanks.

My mechanic is going to take a look.
