Thread: NEED HELP NEED A NEW 300TDI ENGINE

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

Land Rover Discovery 1 Engine 300 Tdi | John Craddock Ltd

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.

thanks

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
