Best diesel engine for a Series III?

Kev627 · Jun 5, 2008

What engine is best to put into Series III? I want a combination of good reliability, good fuel economy, good level of torque and it must be relatively easy to get serviced (ie not a rarity).

200TDi ex Disco.

Just put a 2.8TD Daihatsu lump in mine....

Instead of doing 27 mph up Detling Hill (Coastbound) with a 2.5 NA lump.

She goes up in top gear at 50mph, and Im running oversize tyres...

Roll on fitting the Overdrive.

Yeah, 200Tdi fer wot you want. Best injun LR have made.

But the V8 is an easier conversion.

Yeah, ah reckon. Not doosul mind, but a petroil V8 mated to the series box has gorra be more straightforward than oiking in a 200Tdi & box.
