P38, 2,5 TD Cylinder Head, any difference?

Looks like I have to change the head on the engine (2001 mod) Are there any differences between the different years? Have a head from an Opel Omega on hand. year unknown. Anybody knows?

Yes, but any Range rover EGR plastic manifold head will fit your car. Most early ones fitted (pre 1998) with an alloy manifold will not, and cannot be modded to fit, the casting is different..Some intermediate heads have position cast in them for both stud set ups but you have to know what to look for. And be able to drill and tap the alternate stud positions.

Thanks Wammers. You saved me buying a to old head.
Do you know about when in 98 the change to plastic manifolds took place? or the part number (casting number) from when it should be safe for me to get hold of?
Tks.

EGR was introduced for 1998. Any MY 1998 head with plastic manifold will fit. On an early head all the lower studs are on the right and top studs on the left. On the head you need the rear three inlets have lower studs on the right and upper studs on the left. The front three cylinder have lower studs on the left and upper studs on the right. Also longer studs on the plastic manifold head. Like this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVE...332879?hash=item3ad9cf1ecf:g:sBIAAOSw32lYnCL4
