HELP: to sell or not to sell

im not sure either as i have not had it off to compare. but its pretty bad so i would hate see her drinking more than this!!!

So would a 200tdi motor bolt up to a series gearbox? Whats the business in regards to disco and defender 200tdi motors? If they do connect to the series gearbox can you fit a 200tdi disco motor into a series?

Hi Dickyjoe, from what I've read the 200/300tdi motors do bolt straight up to a series gearbox as the blocks are essentially the same as the the old 2.25 motor. Maybe need to remove a stud on the bellhousing. Engine mounts are supposed to be compatible also. 200tdi from a defender is easier as the turbo is mounted more series friendly than the disco one.

so whats the big problem with the holden motor? if you were to use a rebored and rebuilt 186 red motor, with a high torque fuel efficient cam like the 35613 from crow cams (http://www.crowcams.com.au/media/catalogues/30.0 Holden 6 HYD.pdf) and a new heavy duty radiator with taller gearing by means of a HRTC, 3.54 diffs or an overdrive.

I always wonder if the bad press was from "someone using uncle joes red motor he pulled out of the EH went the rust got to it, its been a good motor and sitting in the shed for donkeys and they stick it in the LR with the normal radiator and problems start occuring."
