Thanks!
It's developing cobb webs. No one has that engine. I have the 300TD and would love to keep it because it's got so much push, but it is what it is and I have to get that 2.25 **** in my Landy...
Could you not get it from a series?

That would actually be ideal, but I can't find the damn thing. I've looked everywhere. EBay, specialized dealers, gum tree, even buying a spare Landy.

Not cheap but bear in mind you could probably get 350-450 for the 300tdi

That would be helpful. I'm in the UK and have tried to get in contact with Landiman, Nene, etc. Nothing...
I will send you a PM later. You have to be careful what you try to send to the US. There is a very big shakeup about Illegal Defenders at the moment. 180 warrant for seizure going on. They have got to be stock to what the vins says from factory. Nothing changed, not even the color. And if the chassis has been changed forget about it.
Those 2 named were some allegedly involved with sending illegal defenders to the US.

Thor was maybe looking at complete vehicles instead of engines in which case he's unlikely to say anything because he'd have to admit he was wrong
I don't know anywhere with a stock of 2.25's (I could be wrong) but they do pop up on military auction sites and fleabay from time to time.
When I bought my ambulance I had planned to swap out the 10L for a Tdi but it's only done 50k and it's so quiet I've fallen a little bit in love with it

Are like for like engine swaps allowed under import rules?
That is 1 of may questions going on. The thread dippy posted up with the US site is over 60 pages 1400 posts alot of crap. But some very good info from 2-3 of them 1 is Will a lawyer working for free to get some results then another guy who is a big importer of defenders and spare parts. This guy is OK and not involved with the investigation. All the problems is a guy from NC a Doctor

What's that got to do with anything?
he's got a 90 not a defender the first of which were fitted with 2.25's which is what he wants and I'm asking if an older identical Series 2.25 would pass the rulesWhat '2 named' have been implicated in the States (by PM please)

Really? I thought the carb only changed for the 2.5's.
Sounds like a Series engine won't do the trick then
engine has to be what is in the vin numbers
well have they made a td5 or puma that was 25 years old? and how many 25 year olds had 300tdi's
What are you on about?
The series petrol2.25 looks very similar to the 90 2.25. I didnt know there was a difference. Do the have their own JM at customs?
