Well…. It’s not going great so far water pump, flywheel, snapped turbo to downpipe studs and an unknown hole in the new block! I’m hoping it will all get sorted reasonably soon though. Unfortunately my new fuse box didn’t turn up for the golf either (stuck in customs) so I’m resorting to my dad driving me around (which is scary) and dropping the kids at school for the moment! Ray

Unknown hole? Like a missing core plug or sensor?

Not sure, the supplier asked for photos from the garage to compare to ones they have in stock so I’m waiting on more info. The garage says there are two holes on the left below the alternator just above the sump, one is threaded with a blanking plug and the other looks like it goes into an oil gallery or water jacket but isn’t threaded so I guess we’ll see.

! Apparently the hole should have been tapped and plugged so they are sending out a plug for the garage to sort it. Ray

I don’t think you can get completely new anymore so the one I ended up with is everything new including all internals, head etc but a reconditioned block. I got 152k on the old engine and I don’t think it was looked after before I got it t 70k ish Ray My build thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17615.html |
