whatever
looks like a 200tdi,probably wrong though front and top end pics would have helped
that looks suspiciously similar to my 12j 2.5NA, albeit without a pump (power steering or air con?- situated by the front left mount) mine has. Can't see a turbo on it to suggest a 19j. The green paint obviously suggests military, making the 2.5NA more likely. I think the fact the whole engine isn't painted means it hasn't been reconditioned, but has had new parts, so potentially could be leggy?

also i think the inlet manifold would be the wrong shape for a 200tdi

Surely they wouldn't still have 10j's kicking about would they? (plus it's listed as 2.5) also, before anyone else bothers, i checked all the piccys off the current withams tender, and unsurprisingly no tdi's (at least so far as i can tell!) so don't waste your time! few lots of spares, but i assume some company or other will snap them all up!

I dont see why not, withams are still selling Series 3's and I wouldn't trust a listing of 2.5 without some other evidence myself
Withams are robbing bastards
It's a tender - you put in your price you want to pay -i've had some great bargains in the past, and then somethings go for silly money. Can't see how they can be "robbing bastards" when you choose the price you're willing to pay for the good?
I don't have any intention on buying an engine -i agree it would be dubious, you'd need to get them for a very good price if they were "sold as seen" - they just caught my attention and i couldn't tell if they were tdi's or not.

Is that just for parts or for anything? My reason for calling them robbing barstewards is that they buy army land rover 110s and defenders for ridiculously cheap and sell them on for a huge profit. Last I saw they were selling them for something like 4500.
We had three 110s leave us a good few months ago. These were immaculate, and I can't stress that enough. Look underneath and almost everything was brand new, brand spanking clean. Engines and gearboxes were perfect, body work was perfect. Basically they had been fully refurbished and reconditioned then never used. The price the MOD sold them to Withams for? £1750 each.
Ah ok, yeah they do direct sales, small auctions then once every month or two a big 700+ item tender list.
I only ever go with the tender list, you're right though, the for sale prices are stupid.
I always thought they charged a fee to the army, didn't realise they actually bought then re-sold.

Definitely 2.5 NA recognise the inlet manifold and most likely to be a 12J
