Looking at a possible swap for my disco. a Rangie classic with a VM Diesel - Rare. Guy doesn't want to butcher a rare truck but wants to off road.

Do a part number search via us and get uprated head and rebuild it should be good for another 100k at least only has 86k on the clock been used as a gun shuttle paints gone on it but underneath is as clean as my disco's so I'm happy with that!

they are not a bad engine just not as reliable as a tdi or as cheap or easy to fix for an ammateur
 
yeah but one can get cheap replacement from scrappy jeep...i like them..but i like supercharging silly engines, so prehaps my oppion is not the norm?

True but would de-value the motor hoping it will be a future classic!
