hi
I have a 2.5 NA diesel engine in a 110 defender that when I bought the vehicle the dealer said it was a re-con engine of 8000 miles.
well 10months on it's leaking like a sieve.it leaks from the heads,the sump and some other area's,i could put up with all that until last thursday i noticedin the driveway a rather big puddle of engine oil which as it turned out was coming from the plug hole in the flywheel housing!!! bugger!!
now i knew that was'nt good news as the oil seal must have givern up the ghost so i took it to the local landrover guru. he told me not to bother with the seal, sounds like a duff engine, offered me a £1500 engine swop with a secondhand 200TDi. What would you advise me to do? Is it worth spending the money on the engine (is this a good price for it) or do I persevere with the engine I've got now?
