Finally got my engine swapped from a 2.5 N/A to a 2.5 TDi.... WOW!!

What a difference it makes. A lot quieter than my N/A, and the torque delivery is spot on; exactly where you want it - low down the rev range.

Where I live there is steep hill, after steep hill, so I need the grunt very low down the rev range



Interestingly, i have been driving a 300tdi Discovery whilst mines been off the road - to be honest I wasn't that impressed. Yeh, it's fairly quiet, and very smooth, but I thought the power, and torque delivery was in the wrong place.Unless the turbo was really spinning nothing was really happening.

With the 200, the torque is there on tap, and I cruised UP a steady hill at 65mph I forgot what that felt like


I have to agree as with many on here, the 200TDi is a brilliant engine.

Just need to fit my power steering box now.

i did the same with mine a while back , 200 tdi and power steerin , completely changed it ....far more power and easier to drive ......but in my opinion it takes half the fun away .... a proper landrover is a series....

bet it feels a tad agricultural without power steering and i wil agree the 200tdi is a superior engine

And 29.6 MPG.... And thats carrying two sets of ladders on the roof
That's 55 more miles per tank than my 2.5 N/A was giving me.

Very Impressed with this engine


Just need to sort out where my clunks are coming from now, to smooth out the drive
