V8 Parts info needed.

[landie man]

Hi all,

I've just found out after having only just got my landy that My 3.5 V8 came out of a rover sdi dating back to the 70's, with only 20,000 on the clock, The good news is 2 garages have told me the engine runs real sweet after giving it a full service and a general check over, but they did say the water pump is leaking slightly,the starter motor is on it's way out, and the bottom rad hose is slightly chaffed. I do have one place where I'm hoping to get replacements, but incase they don't have any of these, items, can anyone advise me of a place where I can readily get the engine parts being a classic engine?. I assume I'm not the only one with this conversion? If it's any help the engine number is 11A56273.

Any help would be much appreciated.

for quality parts, service and knowledge I would use dingo croft-just google it and then ring them there website isnt much good.

for cheapest I would use paddocks but make sure you know what your getting there knowledge is poor and the cheaper parts are too!

If its an sdi engine try unipart in Dover, you never know. Rimmer bros also keep loads of Rover items. Find them on the webb.
