Hi, just the latest. I rang Steve Parker re the adapter plte. They no longer do these and dont know anyone who does. I had a look at the local breakers today. They had a rover 25 and a couple of 45's. I could see what appeared to be an adapter plate between engine & g/box,,£40 for them to...

Does anyone have a contact number or e mail address for MD engineering? Stefan

Thanks for that optimus, I'll give them a ring. I'll let the forum know how I get on. Stefan

Interesting thread this chaps. Question for you ste220 if you wouldn't mind. Having had enough of the problems with my current freelander engine (2ltr XDi), I decided to do the same conversion as gday earlier in this thread. I thought all 2lr diesels as fitted to the Rover range i.e 220, 240...

No Adapter plate either on the freelander engine or the rover engine. I gues it must have been on the rover box but, like most other people I never for a minute thought they would have different blocks for what is essentially the same engine so, unfortunately I didn't look at the Rover box when...

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply. The bell housing is cast in, it's part of the gearbox. I also thought their might be a difference with the clutch, so before I offered the g/box up I changed the complete clutch from the original engine. I'm 100% it's a block to bell housing problem.WhenI...

Hi Rob, one of the important things you haven't tried are the glow plugs, not the easiest things to change but easy to check. Fuel pump a possibility but have you had a look at the intercooler pipe from the rad to the inlet manifold, especially the section across the engine top? If your old...

Still looking for any advice

White smoke,wrong fuel?, turbo/intake?, air filter. Cirtainly isn't no1 injector. Have you sorted this?

The 'buzzing' sound is normal with the ignition on. Check the feed to and from the ignition switch, they have been known to give probs some times, assuming youv'e had a look at any relevant fuses.

Put a replacement engine in then found the F****ing g/box dont fit the block Ba***rds

Hi, Unless you know a very friendly police officer/ police employee, the only way to obtain reg number from an engine number is if you have the original chassis number from the vehicle which the engine was fitted to. DVLA don't have the facility to do this. Not sure these days if landrover...

Hi to every one. Vehicle is a Freelander series 1 with the L series 2ltr Rover engine fitted. Has anyone ever fitted the L series engine from the Rover car? If so are there any issues with mating the Freelander g/box to the car block? As you probably guessed, I've fitted the engine but don't...

Have a series 1 with the 2lt L series Diesel. I'm totally pis*ed off with the engine and going to change it an L series out of a Rover car. I noticed there will be a few things to change. Has anyone done this? Anything/problems I ought to be aware of? Appreciate any advice. Thanks Stefan

Hi Cuz, did you ever get to the bottom of this problem. Mine's just started doing the same. Stefan

Euro car parts. Excellant service, prices oh and the parts are ace. Stefan

Hi rikib, I've maybe missed this but, what is the model and engine and FBH?

1998, ABS, lockup,,dont make sense. Check vac pump and associated piping. Sometimes the small connector breaks off the main pipe, destroying the vac. Stefan

42.4 mpg from my series 1, 2ltr L series. Checked it a few times because I was surprised. Comes back more or less the same every time. Stefan
