The 2.6 in my series was binned .
Replaced with a 3 litre straight six from a rover P5, together with the 4.3 .diffs .It bolted straight on to the gearbox but had to cut away part of the bulk head as the engine sits a lot higher.
It went extremly well,but a
las when four star petrol went so it too had to go.(it's the valve thing)
Replaced that with a rover v8 and have never looked back.
Theres plenty of good cheap ones out there and fuel economy isn't so. obad either.
Best of luck.

Are the 2.6 engines really that bad? I bought one a few months ago and it's been fine so far (touch wood). When I was considering buying it, 2 separate land rover 'enthusiasts' / nutters told me they were good engines

: When you suffer with valve seat recession and suffer the cost of rectification
you'll probably understand.:
You can always confim this via the series clubs and indeed the relevant Land
Rover magazines .(technical section)
But hey each to his own.:
Remember they are an IOE engines and unless you can do the valves yourself
it's going to cost you.
Happy eventful motoring.:

I see, guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed while driving! In reality, I could do the work myself but if the engine packs up I'd take the opportunity to put something else in instead
