Thanks, just have to find another one now.:)

I heard somebody say (on here?) that the front spring reached resonance at a certain time/revs and caused awfull vibrations, if all else fails check there. Engine mounts are worth checking as well.

Bloody hell, Fife to North Devon! I think the cost of getting here would be silly money!:) Not sure if the auto version has anything different on the engine? Thanks tho!

That was £500, another 200TDi with all fittings, rad, loom, relays and clutch was ended early after reaching £470...... The Defender engine went for £850!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to look for a crunched disco I think!

If you have a mains connection you can fit a heater in the cooling system which makes the engine/cooling system hot'n'ready for the morning. Can't remember the make but there are at least two made. Eberspachers work very well indeed, I have the older model that you can repair yourself, the newer...

I just want to replace the petrol sucker on mine with a diesel. I wanted to know the prices to expect and the work involved before I go mad! A standard 2.5 NA sounds much easier to me!

What sort of money should I look at paying for a 200TDi complete engine? Is it of any benifit to fit the 200TDi box and transfer at the same time?

Mine gets used on the farm here and does got through pretty deep water sometimes, I was told the tin cover lets in water and mud?

Good stuff, I'll have to see if the one I just said I would "not" be having is still for sale! Cheers.

Thanks Mark, I will have confidence now looking for an engine! Do you know if I could fit a landy timing cover to waterproof the sherpa engine? Mine is a juicy petrol...

Hi Mark, can u tell me whats required to fit it? one engine mount I'm told, what about the exhaust manifold, does it fit my petrol exhaust?

MMMM, does the exhaust manifold line up to the existing Landy petrol exhaust? (Presume I can use my existing exhaust?) I just told the guy I would not have it because it was too different but if it's as you say I'll eat humble pie and email him again. Also would I be able to fit a "proper" landy...

I phoned them up, they won't deliver and they won't tell me if they are good or scrap! Thanks anyway.

After reading your post Nobber I cancelled the Sherpa engine (It was sold as a Land Rover engine) and I'll keep looking for a proper Landy engine. I'm in North Devon if anybody has a good Landrove diesel engine for sensible money........

I have been looking for a LR engine for ages, this was sold as a "land rover" engine but turns out to have come from a Sherpa..... It's cheap, £90, 59000 mile with new injectors and £50 delivered. I can't get a Landy engine locally for anywhere near that....the one I was offered on...

I'm hoping someone here has done it Nobber! I just like to know before starting so I can get the bit's ready. Still want info on fitting a 2.5 diesel sherpa engine in my Landy........

Just had another email and the seller confirms it "is" the Landrover engine. Thanks for the post about the prima Perkins Cartman, I may do that later on if my cousin gives me his series 1 as promised....... I would still like to hear any more info about this engine swop if anybody can help??

It's a 2.5 NA in a C reg sherpa, the seller says it fits but I want to make sure. Been told a 2.5 sherpa is the same block as the Landy one. There is no picture of it. Hope I havent dropped a B*****k:confused:

Hi all, I just bought a "Landrover engine" off of Ebay. Turns out it is in fact a Sherpa 2.5 diesel engine from a C reg sherpa. Will this engine fit my Petrol 90 1984? Are there any problems with flywheels or engine mounts or clutch? Thanks for any answers, I need to know quickly as I have to...

Sorry to hijack this thread but it is along the same lines as my question, I have just sourced a 2.5D NA sherpa engine from a c reg for my 84 90 petrol, will the engine mount brackets from the petrol fit the diesel lump? I'm hoping that it's the same block otherwise I need some? I'm sure the...
