And what about a TD5 discovery transmission?
Thank you!

*The basic engines are the same.
*Its what I use when replacing an engine in a Defender TD5.
*The differences are between the 10P through to 16P (head, injector cam, injectors etc) but still all very doable if you need to put a later engine in an early TD5 (disco or defender) or the other way round.

Thanks for your answers!
For the moment I'll just replace the engine on my Defender TD5 P15. I have all the ancillaries and injectors. This engine should do the trick, right?

Any reason I should not buy it?

Thank you all!

Personally I would get one from Dazza in Perth
The one in the uk looks cheap but once you get it freighted it might not be and what is its history
Also what do Turners want for a short motor? (Assuming your head is ok)
