evening all, thought I might get some advice and figured a thread with this many posts/views would be a good source, I somehow managed to single handedly catastrophically destroy my TD5 engine of only 112,000 miles 2004 defender 90 I'm the 3rd owner bought 3 years ago..... she's currently in the garage with a quote of just over £10g's for a reconditioned turner engineering engine and turbo plus all the tosh that goes with It.... now a friend of my sisters who owns a landcover camping experience rental in Cornwall has suggested getting a new/reconditioned transmission as well while the engines being taken out, he's recommended Ashcroft transmissions, would it be wise to get a new clutch at the same time, my thinking is with a new engine of 0 miles fitted with parts over 112,000 miles, or is it a case of if its not broken don't replace it ????. I will be calling the garage on Monday morning 22nd to have the engine ordered and work begins.View attachment 184898

Asking the same question in multiple places just means you'll get disjointed answers and annoy everyone.
apologies, it was more a bit of trial and error, more than intentional.... got my answer tho.
