i have a 1974 series 3 that's been changed to 200tdi but due to new stupid low emission laws i need to change back to 2.25 petrol.
Has anyone done this ? does anyone want to swap engines it they are not within m25 zone.

200tdi engine has done 9000 miles only. :welcome2::crazy_driver:

Where are you? Why do you need to change the engine?

If its only because of emmissions then try adjusting the fuel pump a bit...may help and avoid an engine change.

If you really have to i'll take the tdi for a decent 2.25
 
:welcome2: sounds a bit daft to be honest... but then again it is stoopid old england were taking about.... :ballchain:

My Land Rover does not comply with the 2012 London low emissions law coming out, and if i don't change back to a petrol engine i will have to pay 100 quid a day to park it on my drive :mad: :mad: :mad:


Will the petrol engine fit my gearbox ok, and could i use the 2.0 TDI radiator etc making the change back easier and cheaper ;)
I know the fuel tank will need to be replaced or flushed aswell
 
if u can pm me if you wish to change my 200tdi engine for a 2.25 petrol im in beckenham kent

try not to publish personnel details, like email on here, don't forget it's a public forum, we use private messaging for that sort of thing

on a lighter note :welcome2: to the looney bin :D

downgrading to a 2.25 - that's something you'll not be doing very often
