Can anyone recommend a breakers yard where i could get a replacement ser 3 petrol engine?

I'm looking for a good runner to replace the current 2.25 lump in the 1972 swb. I live in Kent and all the old breakers yards they use to have land rovers are all gone now....

Any help gratefully received...

Thanks Andy

there is an outfit near tring be a trip round the m25 but they seem to break a lot, often they have parts on the bay like bulkheads gearboxes etc, their ebay id is seriesdefenderboys or something like that.

If you can afford it, send to Turner Engineering it'll come back like a new engine.

oo I had forgotten about them, heard nothing but good stuff about turners

wonder how long they take, if the landy is your daily drive you might be more difficult though

I learnt a good few years (and land rovers ago) not to have one as my only transport

I think any work by turners would be out of my price range... its been suggested a quick replacement of the camshaft rollers and sliders could tighten things up enough to make it usable again???
