Hi everyone,
I've just bought a replacement 200tdi to replace my worn out one. It's currently sat on an engine stand waiting to be assembled (the crank is already in place). My question is should I replace the T seals on the bearing cap whilst it's out and already partially disassembled to save it leaking in the future? I believe it can be a bit of a ball ache to do.
If so are there any recommendations on how to do it?
Cheers B

I'd say yes. Buy from a reputable supplier i.e. Turners, and ask them if there's anything tricky involved...they're very knowledgeable and helpful https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/land-rover-200-tdi-engine-parts-c102x3005710

As above - do them while you can - false economy not to...

And, .... use good ones - another vote for Turners here

Right I've ordered some T seals and I'm going to give it a go. Wish me luck
