300 tdi engine wanted

[Ianster10]

I am looking for a 300 tdi engine. Ideally one I can hear running.

 

[Dr_evil]

go away and get 31 more posts…...

 

[Ianster10]

Will 31 more posts get me a new engine?

 

[Dr_evil]

no but it'll mean you can actually use the for sale section……instead of cluttering up the non sale/wanted forum areas

 

[Ianster10]

Oh ok, thanks for your help. What a useful forum.

 

[Dr_evil]

theres a reason its a 50 post minimum

they are really noisy, so you should be able to hear one a mile off

 

[Ianster10]

What is the reason?

What is the reason?

as far as I know its to stop people coming on here just to sell/promote crap

 

[Ianster10]

A friendly reply. Thanks Freelaner.

Well I have a problem with a siezed engine. As such I thought I would come to a Landrover forum for some help. Silly me.

you should request help to try and salvage your seized engine mate.

then after you've posted back and forth getting expert advice, if its really fooked, someone will point you towards a 300tdi near you

Ok, can anyone help me with my siezed engine?

your not 1st to wait until they got problem to come on here, some complain about rules, but they are for reason usually as far as I can see. think you can still browse for sales cant you?

how did it seize?

lack of oil? or some other cause

 

[Ianster10]

Oil return pipe came off at speed. All oil drained in a matter of seconds.

 

[Ianster10]

The whole thing ground to a halt. Once it had cooled down it would restart with no clanging but as it warmed up the clanging started.

 

[Ianster10]

The fact that it will actually start is a good sign I assume?

 

[Bromsgrove Defender]

Depends what extra damage running it when it's knackered has done.


The only way you'll know is whip off the head and have a look see

 

[Ianster10]

BD, thanks.

My mechanic is going to take a look.
