    Well strictly speaking, the only Diesel engine "Land Rover" has ever designed and built is the td5.

    The older diesels were Rover blocks.
    4BD1 is an Isuzu.
    The 3.0 and the DSE are BMW.
    Others are Ford.

    Maybe the 3.6 TDV8 was also in-house? I'm not sure about that.

    So the best Land Rover diesel, by power of deduction is, by default, the td5

    Because I don't have one of them. Plus I have heard there are reliability issues that the 3.6 doesn't suffer from.

    BMW M57 TD6 in my L322.

    It is the only diesel LR product I have, so can't comment on the others. The M57 has won best Diesel engine in Europe many times and is very robust, easy to work on and easy to get parts for. Have seen examples over 300KKM still in great condition, and on forums have seen examples of them with over 500KKM on them that still have had no issues and never needed rebuilding. The modern version of this engine is currently producing huge power and torque numbers and still has no reliability issues.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    As Will says, Td5 wins by default
    And because it's easy to work on, smooth, powerful, economical, and versatile.
    The Phantom - Oslo Blue 2001 Td5 SE.
    Half dead but will live again!

    Nina - Chawton White 2003 Td5 S
    Slowly being improved
