Hi all,
I'm new here but it seems like all the experts I could really do with right now are in one place..
I have an E reg 110 csw which when taken by some friends over to Europe this summer "blew up"/died. I wasn't there to witness but my lovely mechanic ( yes, sorry, I love my landrover but am not going to be the person who rebuilds it) that it's pretty well shot and the crank is also done for.
Therefore what to do ? I stay way up north ( orkney) and so there are NOT many spares around and breaking would give me under £200 which seems criminal. I would like to put a new engine in it but now have drawn a blank at what and where to find.
There seems a possibility to rebuild mine but is it really worth it? and could well be price prohibitive. ( I've been quoted around £1500)
I have thought about an Isuzu but again what is best ? (any suggestions please and what are the pitfalls?)
If I put in a 200TDI which I have been offered how easy is the conversion really ?
I know questions, questions but I would REALLY appreciate any help .. thanks.
