Thread: FYI - Ford Territory Tdci does go into a Disco 3/4

Even though the kerb weight of a D3 is much greater than a P38A, I really think the diesel D3 would outrun the petrol P38A.

But the P38 sounds much. much better doing it

So does anyone know if the territory engine suffers from the oil pump housing fault that is in certain models of the D3 engine?


Cheers Ean

It seems to have a Thicker Oil Pump Housing Idler Pulley area... So I would suggest no...

I've had 2 P38's, both 4.6, the last one with the Bosch injection. Now I have the D3 TDV6 2.7.

Chalk and cheese, the V8's wouldn't get a look in!

The difference between a Fifties design engine and a modern one, the diesel's torque, and more gears in the trans.

As an OAP I can't afford a newer car.

To return to Mark's original post, that's good info, Mark. Give me a drive one day?

I have to admit, if I didn't need a more suitable tow vehicle I would still be enjoying the delights of the Rangie.

In fact, if someone had figured out how to fit a 5 or 6 speed box into the P38 that might have been enough to convince me stay with the Rangie.
