Has any bought a reconditioned engine of either type recently.

Why you ask are you having dramas with your rebuild

I read somewhere that the power difference was 4hp and 7 lbs/ft torque extra - when new of course. Otherwise, there are no major changes, but as you might know, just slightly different ways of doing things: different style head and different injectors, waterpump relocated, turbo plumbing re arranged, serpentine belt etc. The major bits stayed the same, and as far as I can tell from observations, magazines and comments on forums, both last a long time with proper care.

Rebuild is complete (just edited my signature ). Just had the local LR mechanic check it this morning.
Still a vibration some where in the drive line, that I cant locate , I will get him to dig deeper in the next few weeks.

I guess my question was one for the future.

Ok the differences.............. just about everything...

they look very similar, but they are so far from alike they might as well be a GM and Ford engine...

I have pulled down both a 200 and 300 and i have some spares left over from the 200 i pulled down. The only part i have been able to use on the 300 is the Glow plugs

They are both a great engine, but the 300 is better...
