thanks guys, i would love a V8, you just cant beat the sound, but my defender works and plays alot, so i need a diesel engine ive looked into the 2.8 tgv sounds good, but i dont know of any one local to me thats got one, so i can see how they really go and they are like rocking horse s... to find second hand !

thanks, are they a 'straight' swop or do they need much moding into a defender ?

What I am trying to say is that they are not ECU-less. You can probably find one from the 1980s with mechanical injection but it'd be less powerful than the Tdi.
BMW conversions have been done but it is not a straight swap no. 1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top 2015 D90 XS SW |

ok, not so good then, i did see an articale in one of the landy books that someone had put a merc diesel engine with about 150-200 bhp, no ecu's, but needed quite a bit of moding though

Why not buy a 300Tdi now and strip it down and slowly rebuild it

Could be an OM606, I believe they can be run on a mechanical injection pump. The BMW M57 is an electronically controlled engine yes, however there is a loom available that makes it 'standalone' so easy to wire into just about any old vehicle. Think it's made by Rallyraid or someone similarly named. |
