NEED HELP NEED A NEW 300TDI ENGINE

[disco1]

hi im in victoria can anyone help me with finding a new or reco engine for my s1disco its a 300tdi , i have found one in england for about $3500 rebuilt but not sure how to get it back to australia and the cost if anyone could help it would be good :)

Local reco engines go for up to $8000 fitted so $3500 is a good price if that's from one of the larger landrover after market places then get them to organise to send it over should still be cheaper than here:)

craddocks have them but remember price is pounds not dollars:) actually that works out to be $3500 plus freight

Send Juddy a PM. I think he's bringing a container over in August.

MR Auto should have a block and crank waiting and they can supply the head.

Swmbo decided not to invest in the short setup I had put aside when she did the head in her disco so to my knowledge it should still be on shelf.

Give Turner Engineering a call after 6pm NSW time on 0011441342834713 - the lady on the switch there told be they sent an engine to perth last week and it only took 7 days economy freight - she'll be able to give you a price - you'll be up for gst as well because total will be over $1000.

If I understand correctly, some of the experiences related on this site would indicate that you exercise caution if dealing with some other pommie outfits.

One out of a defender - (don't know how much difference there is), it's now on ebay with no reserve

I would suggest that you check the insurance damaged vehicles auctions,might be able to pick up a rear. Or rolled D1 TDI cheaply and then just do an engine change,or,get a complete D1 Diesel which is poor body/interior wise,I knocked back a grubby 300TDI auto a couple of months age 4mths Reg (Qld) for $3000 drive away tyres were 50/60%



cheers

Sorry but a diesel motor from a rolled car can be a can of worms , A diesel can run up side down which means the oil is nowhere near the important parts could seize or spin bearings . Plus the possibility of hydraulic locking = bent rods , Unless you can start a engine from said car be very careful :cool:

If you are interested I have a 2nd hand one available. I bought a discovery 1 for wrecking and it has a running engine in it. At the moment the car can be driven so the engine can be checked out. It is also cheap.

I needed a 300tdi engine for my mate and I found an exchange one for $2750.
The bloke that I got it off said it cost him over 3g because it had to have oversize pistons etc in it.
Getting it fitted next week,then go for a drive to bed it in.:D
I'm in Sydney,if you want his number,pm me.
He's a LR 2nd hand dealer.
