You could put an M50 B25 or B20 in it... Straight six naturally aspirated and bomb proof also of the same sort of year (early to mid 90's)... Seems fitting. I'm pretty sure it fits quite well. Not done one my self though I must say

Be been looking, they’re actually surprisingly quite expensive. Would bearing stay the same?

How much do you use the vehicle? What are the implications of doing nothing? I'm not up on ULEZ regs.
As for best and easiest. They are unlikely to be the same thing. A Rover V8 is better in every way than a 2.5p but is slightly more work to fit.

Your first question is a very good one and the answer is that I use it very little. I think the writing is on the wall though as the ULEZ zone is branching out near me. The implications are a £12.50 per use in the zone. As with all these penalties they will create an income and so they will spread and rise in cost. I’m trying to get ahead of the curve.

Yes I would think so.
I asked as iirc a tdi defender van was not allowed, yet a tdi defender county with rear seats was allowed (this was some time back so info may be incorrect?) and it was all down to the chassis number, wrong number = out of luck.
Have a seach as I am sure I have read about it on a thread on LZ.
As a matter of interest does the vin say its a 2.5n/a? Civvy's were 200tdi of that year and thats shown on the vin.

Yes Exactly. It’s a nightmare. They should have let existing cars off but new ones should have to comply. It’s almost like when they made us change from a Petrol to Diesel!

No this is a 2.5n/a
Read that article. Twas interesting, but he does have access to a shedload of parts!
