Thread: 300tdi and auto in a perentie

what do you hope to achieve, power steering, more power or the auto?

Tell you what mate, when I get done putting the 4BD1 out of a Perentie into my Defender I'll sell you the 300tdi I'm pulling out

Go for it mate.......don't worry about all these rivet counters.

Plenty of defenders have been have had re-engine swaps, you are just doing the opposite to what others have done.....

You could go for something truely unique and install a Toyota 2LT?

I reckon you'd be able to find someone with a Defender who'd do a swap for your Perentie.

Think of all the advantages you'd have, air con, wind up windows, sound insulation, nice paint, etc.

The other bloke would get an old green car, sliding windows, vibrating old engine, etc.

I tell you what, being the nice bloke that I am, I'll do a swap with you. I can even throw in a P38A as a daily driver.

Another thing you should think of is resale value.
I would suggest what you are proposing would be so undesirable, the value of the vehicle after the conversion would be little more than scrap.
Now, if you put one of these in it:
4.4L Twin Turbo V8 - Range Rover - Engines - Eagle Auto Parts

i think he has gone?? maybe got the message

Vibrating old windows, vibrating old doors, vibrating old windscreen, vibrating old hood bows, vibrating old bonnet.
