Following on from last post about seized engine, i now know it to be the case unfortunetly!! Looking around for a secondhand engine, wondered if there is any difference between the TD5 engines between discovery and defenders? My old one is a 10P. I do not want to make any basic assumtions so would a 15P one be a straight swap? Thanks in advance to anyone clarifying this! Cheers Roger.
 
As far as I know.... the defender and discovery engines are basically the same. However, the TD5's did include upgrades through their lifetime. If you are swopping a 10p for a 15p then it should be OK, but I do believe that the ECU are different, so for optimal performance you may need to swap them too.

Not a definitive answer, but I hope it helps until someone who's actually done such a swap comes along.
 
Thanks for that M6SJG, had not thought about the ECU atall!! The second hand engines seem to make strong money so want to be sure what i buy will fit and work. Thanks for the pointer and hope someone may be able to give a definative answer. Cheers
 
Seems like no one else replied - OK I've done some research and the engines can be a straight swap. The old ECU should work, but if you've access to the ECU from the other engine then that may be worth trying. Hope this helps.
