    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.

                  Please post some pics of that on GnR when it's done. I'd love to see it!

                    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.

                      I've put 9,000 miles on the 200TDI I purchased from Dave at ULC. He's backed me up the whole way with parts that were defective and supplied everything I needed. Granted the engine had probably 150k on it when I got it, but it was not costly. No complaints here. Would recommend talking to them and getting all their input. Lots of experience there.
