    Default 300tdi engine to replace 2.5TD

    New member, first post...
    looking to swap out 2.5TD and want to understand where to potentially source a reconditioned 300tdi.
    Any direction/advice is greatly appreciated!

    Urban Land Cruisers/Land Rovers can help you with that. A 200tdi out of a Defender would be a bolt in swap with zero fabrication required.

    Have you had any experience with them? I'm considering them for some work. I did a quick Google and looks like people have had some not so good experiences.

    I don't have personal experience with their engines or drivetrain components. I have bought a couple of other items from them with good results (YRM battery tray, set of military door tops). I believe that they do offer a guarantee on their engines.

    They are doing a 200TDI conversion for me right now.

    I am not far enough along to give you an opinion that is worth much, but I have been pretty happy so far. Communication has been a little tough, but otherwise no problems.

    I will, I have been waiting on a little progress before I posted up. They are doing a full re-spray and the conversion.........I am excited, but patient.

    Pictures soon.
