I would go a new engine anyday,even if it was a few $ more than a rebuild.

FWIW,1-VD,crate engine,off the shelf,$25K,fitted approximately,a rebuild is not really viable.

No, they stopped building the 3.0l engines somewhere round the end or so of the D4. The Ford engine plant in the U.K was converted back to a body pressing plant.
I'm sure I and others have posted this info in great depth some time ago.

Yet they were used in D5 for quite a few years,some may still be under warranty?

Does that engine come with alternator/starter/fuel pump etc etc for the price?

New 3.0 engines ARE definitely available in the UK, I got a Rellie of mine to check, so presumably they are also available in Aus.

I wonder if a new engine is available for my MY2000 Hilux 3.0 diesel? Not that I need one yet, done 560,000 and still going well.

No,and as they are often high K's,other gear is often changed,if it hasn't already been done, at extra cost,Turbos,water pumps,Rad,starter,etc.
They come with new injectors.

As for the Hilux,don't worry,it is unbreakable

if you do the part number search, go round in circles you end up with the last part number of:LR063285 Engine - Stripped. it will be listed as: new, oem, remanufactured, genuine.

*its a re-manufactured engine (whatever that really means) buy it from Land Rover or anyone else you will see the engine number is re-stamped.
*As I said before, the Ford engine plant stopped being an engine plant many years ago.
*and for at least 2 or 3 years the above part number has been out of stock.

I wonder where the ranger 3.0 is made, Thailand as well or maybe Mexico where the 4.4 TDV8 is made ?

I believe it's made in the U.S
