Make sure its a good one, known for cracked heads/ cylinder head gaskets.

Best thing to do with that idea is forget it.
A firm in Bristol used to do that conversion called Stanton 4x4.I dont know if they are still around . 01275 333202.

4.6 P38. They used to advertise them for sale in the southwest autotrader and sometime back one of the land rover magazines did an article on the conversion. Of course i have no idea how they got it to work but they did do a few.

Getting the engine to work is not the problem, it's what to do with all the systems that run through the BECM that will no longer be connected to anything.

If you going to that hassle there are far better units than the mitsi one, ie the bmw one thats already fitted to the p38- smoother and more fuel efficent.

Fair do's, when they say main dealer tested that maybe when they go in to have the BECM systems sorted.
Anyone out there got one ?

Buy a diesel P38 will cost less and have just as many problems but easier to sort out

Try Simtec in Rochdale they do conversions with the TDV6 sport and D3 engines. Not cheap thuogh about 6k for all the bits and an engine.

the amount of money it will cost to do this conversion you would be better to spend your money on another rangie,use the other for spares (what parts are compatable) plenty of diesel rangies out there you should find a good one.

I know it's a lot of money, but having just had a new top hat linered 4.6 from Turners fitted I can recommend this route. By the time you've paid for the diesel lump and sorted all of the ancilliaries and electricals, you may well end up spending just as much!
I'd follow advice on here - either replace the 4.6 with a diret replacement or invest in a new P38 diesel and use yours for parts.
Whichever way you decide to go, good luck and keep us all up to date with the work.
