    A Comprehensive Guide

    Good evening all. This thread is devoted to producing a comprehensive how-to for putting a Territory motor into a late model D3. I plan to provide written instructions and pictures. The first 15 replies are being reserved at the suggestion of the mods so that it can be written without a break.

    Background: The D3 update model (MY07-MY09) diesel engines are common with the Ford Territory TDCi - as they have the same Euro 4 motor in Australia (Thanks to Jonesy63 for the clarification). Basically you can buy a current model Territory (2016 or earlier) and the diesel fitted is the same as in the MY07-MY09 D3s. Thanks goes to a couple of members on this forum, and a few on a couple of the UK forums who have done the initial legwork in confirming that they fit.

    My D3 had 350000kms on the clock when it made a ticking noise on the freeway and then was reluctant to start. I ended up getting it flat-bedded back to Melbourne. It's currently sitting on a concrete slab, and a mate and I will be doing the engine swap. I bought a 2015 Territory engine with 155kms (not 155000) on the clock for $4000 from a wrecker in Melbourne, including turbo, alternator, AC compressor, flexplate and manifolds. This should be the ideal donor motor.

    I will be photographing and documenting the swap, and hopefully others will be able to use this information to do their own swaps as needed. My mate will also be offering this body on swap as a service on the Eastern side of Melbourne, once he has priced it up.

    So hang tight, this will probably take a few weeks in total to carry out and write up.

    Also, feel free to reply with any questions and I'll see if I can answer them along the way.

    Looking forward to this Will and great pick up with the engine, $4000 for a TDV6 with 155ks is amazing.

    It's a DIY job so doubt it will be too costly. The cost of the new motor is a good start.

    Will, I'm looking forward to how you lift the body.

    Will - another thing to mention... the Territory TDCi motor will also suit the MY09-MY12 D4 2.7. So I am looking forward to progress reports!

    Now you've got me worried, from everything I have read it should be plug and play...???
