Hi All, I’ve just done some work on my 07 110 Defender. Now I’ve bought a Series #3 and I’m going to strip and rebuild. The only thing I’m concerned about is the engine, while I have it stripped I would prefer to exchange the Engine and GB for a reconditioned one. Any idea where I can get one?

I think it’s a Isuzu engine, would that make sense?

Which Isuzu engine? I have heard of people fitting a 2.8 Isuzu turbodiesel to Series 3's but it is not a particularly common conversion. Those Isuzu engines are very reliable and can do huge mileages so unless there is something wrong with the engine you will get very little benefit from fitting a reconditioned one. One thing to be aware of though is that engine produces far more torque than the original series engines and can quickly break a worn gearbox. So while fitting a recon engine might not be worth it, giving your gearbox an overhaul may well be.
