hi im floyd im new on here

i have a 1974 series 3 that's been changed to 200tdi but due to new stupid low emission laws i need to change back to 2.25 petrol.
Has anyone done this ? does anyone want to swap engines it they are not within m25 zone.

200tdi engine has done 9000 miles only. :welcome2::crazy_driver:

Where are you? Why do you need to change the engine?

If its only because of emmissions then try adjusting the fuel pump a bit...may help and avoid an engine change.

If you really have to i'll take the tdi for a decent 2.25

:welcome2: sounds a bit daft to be honest... but then again it is stoopid old england were taking about.... :ballchain:

My Land Rover does not comply with the 2012 London low emissions law coming out, and if i don't change back to a petrol engine i will have to pay 100 quid a day to park it on my drive


Will the petrol engine fit my gearbox ok, and could i use the 2.0 TDI radiator etc making the change back easier and cheaper
I know the fuel tank will need to be replaced or flushed aswell

if u can pm me if you wish to change my 200tdi engine for a 2.25 petrol im in beckenham kent

Unless you enjoy lots of spam in your inbox I'd remove your e-mail addy and ask them to PM you.

try not to publish personnel details, like email on here, don't forget it's a public forum, we use private messaging for that sort of thing

on a lighter note :welcome2: to the looney bin

downgrading to a 2.25 - that's something you'll not be doing very often

I have a 2.25 petrol engine we can swap...but mine is on a pallet ready to go...will your engine be out and ready for me to throw in the back of my 90?

PM me too...as the wise men say...
