I can rebuild it but not sure what I have broken, thinking a conrod. Just thought it might be easier to swap engine over so I can keep it running over winter and rebuild engine in my garage as oppose to in situ. I have a spare then I can get 300's easy but 200's a bit harder. I can get a full...

Morning chaps My 110 td has a 200tdi Steve Parker conversion. I have kind of broken the engine a bit and want to keep it running so an engine swap would be fastest way I think. Problem is I don't trust engines on a pallet and 200's are harder to find and expensive. Am I right in thinking that I...

Doesn't matter in body nackered or no not as long as engine good. Must be cheap and hopefully relatively close to Chesterfield/Sheffield area, but can travel

Though rarer now I was still under the impression that people preferred the 200tdi over the 300tdi

No Is there any oil in the water? Is it losing water? Is there any water in the oil? White creamy Mayo like substance in oil cap. What does temp gauge read? Td5 heads are prone to warping and cracking so to continue to drive in any capacity could cause £££ of damage

Thanks guys, I just wondered if it made the car significantly more desirable given that defender engines are twice as much ££ But as stated I have a LR 110 so even with def engine it's non original so I guess no gains over the disco engine in it. Yeah I will keep saving for the shiny chassis...

I have a 1989 110 td converted with a disco 200tdi with 70k on engine. I am tempted by a genuine defender engine I have been offered at £750 complete from a guy I trust. The engine has 160k Should I be talking myself out of it more and investing the money in other bits like chassis , doors...

I feel your pain. Read my thread for some ideas https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/up-and-running-am-i-paranoid.304867/

What defender do you currently have? There is currently a conversion on eBay full engine gearbox and kit for 300tdi, ready to go straight in

Yeah just in Dronfield. I'll try look up the Mansfield place. Haven't had a rad flow test but it's a brand new rad. The entire cooling system is brand new So took it out again and drove it like I stole it but still can't get it to go over 100. Infra red saying therm casing is 82 and head is...

There are cracks around injector holes which is common, but there are cracks between valves 3&4 and valves 5&6. Don't know if they go all way through without pressure test. Anyone know how much test and skin is and if there anywhere near Chesterfield or sheffield

Stat should be fine it's a brand new genuine one that cost £15 Brakes don't seem to be, it has just done an mot. If I start and leave idle it stays around 70, it just heats up when driving. Wondering if the head gasket/ head is still not right, but then I should imagine a 20 mile run would put...

I know that's what's getting me. I think it's 5-10 degrees to high. Don't know if it makes a difference that it's only water and no coolant. Hand temps: Top hose I can just hold, rocker and rad tanks and rad top all hot Bottom rad and hose Luke warm

Latest update: 20 mile run from cold 2.5 mile - 70 degrees 3.5 mile - 80 4.5 mile - 90 Rest of journey 90-98 but mainly around 95 degrees I would say. Pressure in bottom and top hoses where if I squeeze as hard as I can I can half squish it if that makes sense. Heater runs hot and would say...

How hard should the hoses be? I am wondering if there is a problem with the second hand head I got? There was no cracking and it was perfectly straight. Do they ever crack internally where I could not see? If so what would the symptoms of this be, just wondering if the problem now lies with the...

So the latest is as follows: -airtex water pump fitted -genuine LR stat -new radiator -TIM electric temp gauge -full system drain including block. Back washed with hose until clear -just water in the system no coolant. 17 mile run which was 10 miles country roads, 3 miles urban roads, 4 miles...

Is it actually the joint that is leaking or is there a hole in the pipe? I chose to cut my exhaust and clamp it rather than remove the front cross member

Always found that odd as they use standard axle on disco and RR. Guess it's to do with load carrying as all can tow same weight

I have the opportunity to buy a full disco 200tdi with 150k on clock. Still just in mot for £500. Good buy? I plan to get it for spares for my 200tdi converted 110. What parts can I keep? - engine and auxs - gearbox and transfer - axles

Thanks. I have ordered than genuine stat. When that and the tim gauge arrive I shall try again and if no luck then I'll get a rad
