freelander diesel engines

Hi,Is there any interlectual's out there ,who can tell me what other vehicles apart from Landrover's,the early diesel engine's are fitted in?
I just would like to prepare for the inevitable head gasket failure on my 1.8 petrol,as I intend to do a diesel conversion once this happens.As I have to keep it for at least the next three years,so any information regarding a diesel conversion would be very helpful.
Cheers.

rover 200,sherpa freight,also a couple of othersi think

Montego/maestro

Thank's for that fella's, i'm quite lucky,in the fact that I know a lot of people who scrap cars and take them to the crusher,so I can give them a list and see what happens.
You never know I could end up with a good diesel engine complete for about £50.00!!!
Sorted eh , many thanks.

Oh, save one for me!

Of course, you could end up with a right stinker for £50, but that's part of the fun, isn't it!

Cheers

Are you sure on that?

I know the maestro and montego had the perkins, but i thought it was a different motor to the rovers etc etc?
I could be wrong obviously.

Oh, and either way the perkins from the montys and maestros is probably THE best diesel engine ever produced.

You are right Blippie,
I could end up with a right shed but I think I've got enough mechanical aptitude and workshop space to store the donor vehicle, and then I can compression test and start it to my hearts content.
My friend's are all o.k. If it's no good ,then I just wont buy it.lol!!
I am going to start looking for a montego or maestro diesel over the next few week's and see what turns up.
many thank's anyway,I really appreciate the help.

I run an SI diesel Ozzie, and its a little cracker, not the quietest on the market, but a good motor, i t dont use any oil, and is very economical.

Cheer's Fredlander,
I definately am going to do the diesel conversion on mine as soon as the dreaded head gasket failure happens(which it probably will eventually !!)
I don't suppose you happen to know if I need to change the gearbox as well as the supension,do you ?
As I was told the clutch is the same, on the petrol and the early diesel's.
Cheer's

Cant help on this M8, should be easy enough to find out though.

Thank's any way Fredlander, nice car by the way( I 've just seen it in the gallery). I would have liked a Black one, just could'nt find one for £3500.
Sadly it's all I had to spend.

its epsom green, must get a new camera.

Sorry Fredlander,but it definately looks black in the photo.
Oops must be the shades!
lol.
