Thread: 300 Tdi Engine Swap - what do I need?

might as well do timing belt... and all your other belts while at it..

oil pump?
consider turbo service

you can buy cheaper radiators from uk, I've seen threads on here, search around for..

Just a good socket set and some good spanners. I pulled my engine out and put a new one back in with basic DIY workshop tools at home. A torque wrench is a must though.

Have some degreaser for cleaning, plenty of rags and some gasket sealant aswell. Some locktite is also handy for certain bolts.

Clutch and pressure plate should be checked whilst out and if replaced, have fly wheel machined.

Rear main seal also leak and easy to do whilst out.

Whats wrong with radiator? Will a recon do?

Give engine bay a good clean and degrease donk whilst out I would have thought be easy now.

Best of luck, dont rush it and when you strip a knuckle, let go of a couple of swear words and have a cuppa/beer.

Thanks everyone, keep them coming, great advice. One thing that astounds me is the price of the radiator from434.50 at Roverparts to $911 at Autoparts, I am told the core needs replacement as the cooling fins are totally corroded, they just flake off. I'll have a phone around next week to get recore prices

Hi, my 300tdi in the 1995 disco is getting a bit tired and smokey. Any suggestions for where I can get a replacement to just drop straight in? or is there a better motor that could consider - ie. isuzu?

I dont like the isuzu, to noisy!!

try wreckers.. I found some good ones in SA when i was looking for mine, but opted for a rebuild..
