Thoroughly confused now

1998 will be a 300Tdi, which is a 2.5L 4cyl Direct Injection Turbo diesel (mechanically controlled injection - no electronics - for the AU version anyway).

The 200Tdi was very similar to the 300tdi.

In summary:
1989 - 1992 = 200 Tdi (2.5L 4cyl)
1992/3 - 1998/9 = 300 Tdi
1999 - 2004 = Td5 (2.5L 5cyl EFI) - note this engine was used for longer in defenders.

200tdi ran til late 93 .

The 200Tdi was the last development of the first Rover diesel engine of 1957. The 300Tdi, which should be the one you have, was a complete redesign but with the same general description and size. This was followed by the Td5, the last Rover/Landrover designed engine to date. This turn was followed by Ford engines. I have seen claims that in a couple of years we will again see Landrover designed engines, but these will be completely new designs.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. My gut feeling was a 300Tdi. This is my first Land Rover diesel.
