Er no it aint. If they loom up the vin do they look up the build spec for example alpine lights.

there is about a 2500$ fee for the broker plus shipping and other fees.Cheaper to read the rules, which are very easy to understand and ship your self

That's exactly what i'm trying to do. It's crazy because they fitted the 300tdi with the LT77 transmission that it originally had. I'm guessing they fitted a different bell housing to get it on the 300TDi. I can't tell as i'm still learning.
I need that damn engine for sure. The VIN says so. Curse that VIN. Everything else is OK.
My Landy is a 90 series 3 i believe because it still has the lift handle doors instead of the push button. 1985. I checked out that website with the MOD defenders and they just have the series vehicles and not the engines themselves or at least i didn't find them. I'm looking through some magazines now to see if I can find a parts distributer nearby.

just put the right engine back in as well as transmission, make sure there are no disc brakes. Has to be like it was when in came off the assembly line and check the color is right. Good luck. Did you get the PM?

sure did and they are all drum brakes
the link you sent me was for a diesel, i need the petrol unfortunately. I'm a diesel mechanic so that would have been ideal. I think i might just send the 300TDi back to the states if i can't sell it. It's a hell of a power plant and i could always just fit it back on once i get it through the gates of US customs.

engine alone, as out of vehicle is 21 years old. The link has both diesel and petrol vehicles
After you clear customs what ever you do in fine.

ok ok... tell me what you guys/gals think of this engine? Worth it? it is an 11H (what i need) but if you look at the picture of the engine number, the head looks a little corroded. Almost like there is a gap. What say you? This could solve my export problem but i don't need more headaches... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Late-Land-Rover-21-4-petrol-reconditioned-modified-engine-series-2-conversion-/181502623154?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a42663db2

I'm late to the game as usual. Just want to say howdy to a fellow Yank! Good luck and don't become substantially corrupted by living amongst all those British folks for so long.

Top tip,
Get a scrum cap if you dont want daft looking ears in a few year (i was tight head)
flat
Well-Known Member
or use black leccy tape round your head and ears to hold them flat.
Pulls your hair a bit when removing after the game, but better than your ears getting pulled off in the scrum....

Good luck with that. British influence and head injuries are in the same category!

So this happened.... and i CAN send this one back.
I'll be selling the other one. I'll send it off for 2200. I'm actually losing money at that price. Let me know if you are interested. I can tell you everything about it. Unfortunately, I can't post in the for sale because i don't have enough posts yet
