Thanks for all your thoughts. As performance doesn't bother me to much I think I might stick at a recon diesel. It's only for pootling around in for a bit of fun rather than grafting. Especially since it doesn't appear to be worth as much as a older series 3. Maybe one day! Just go some refurb...

Hi There, I'm new to the forum, and looking for some advice about engines! I've recently bought a series 3 88" 1981 landy. It's in need of some restoration work and a recon engine. It has a 2.1/4 diesel engine in it. My question / dilemer is should i swop it for the same or put a petrol in it...
