Any ideas what this engine is ? its in a 110 that her that must be obeyed wants for her business. Are they reliable and good after 100K

The wrong type. Nicked from a transit van. Depends entirely on how well it's been treated.

So its a 5 cylinder transit engine and best avoided then?

What is the actual engine spec name etc so I can read up, how long did land rover fit it for

That looks like a td5 it's not a transit engine

Puma engine for that year

Looks nothing like my Td5 defender? Very confusing

That one can't have been that reliable, it ain't the engine that the car left the factory with. 2008 would have been a 2.4 tdci engine, it is definitely not one of those. Wild guess - a BMW engine.

Looks nothing like a TD5 - TD5 has no external fuel lines like that as the fuel gallery is in the head. The rocker cover is a big flat wide thing.

Well, that's no Defender engine.
Somebody's done an engine transplant, could be good or bad depending on how well it has been done.
Have you driven it? I'd be wary unless you can find out who did the work and what has been done.

Could be this, from the Ford Puma family.

The advert is a bit suspect to me, bad English speaking seller, selling for a friend, it's listed as a 2008 TD5 so the owner or person listing doesn't even know what they have... Could all be genuine.

The engine looks like a Puma engine, which it should be for this age - but there are some comments above from people who don't think it looks right - I will leave this as I don't own a Puma engined Defender so won't comment, although it does look like a 2.4Tdci to me. However I think you have confused matters by posting an image from Google and not the eBay ad!

Looks pretty straight otherwise - I'd go see it - or at least call the guy and have a chat about it. See what the score is. Also, check it for HPI, reported stolen etc (as you should always do).

The one on ebay is not the same engine / engine bay / vehicle as the photo in your original post. And different wing tops.

That's what I was thinking! The engine on eBay looks OK to me (I am no Puma engine expert mind you).

How come they can only manage 185hp from 3.2 litres? Sorry liters

lightning · Oct 20, 2016

Look at the torque figures though.

That's what you want in a Defender!

Discokids · Oct 20, 2016

Yes the torque is good, just amazed by the lack of outright power. I was expecting it to be around 250 considering my 1.6 diesel Honda CR-V makes 118 with 158 for the better models yet an engine twice its size only makes 22 more.
