Hi Rodney I notice on one of the forums you have a 200tdi overhaul manual I am in a real pickle would you mind sending me a copy please? best regard Phil

Is there anyone in North Wales that can do an engine swap on my 110 not looking for a freebe, I have two slipped discs in my back and a broken rib and just can not do it myself. Here's hoping. Cheers

I just talked with him I am going to see the RR Tuesday Evening he say the autobox is good but there is a problem with the transfer box. If you are available come with me tomorrow and see it before the engine is taken out. I can not see this forum at work if you send an email to...

I'm liking what I am hearing do you know anyone in north wales you can recommend to do the job? It's a lovely 110 with a galv chassis and is fitted out for over landing which is on my bucket list. I had in my youth dreamt of driving to South Africa, mainly because my geography teacher said I...

I am not buying the auto box just the engine. The RR is an MOT failure due to rust it still drives and was in use up until the mot failure. The guy is away until tomorrow but will pass his details on to you once I have done the deal on the engine.

I am only going on what I have read on the web that the cam bearing shell is pressed into the block and the damage to the engine is done before the oil light comes on. If the shell has enlarged its hole in the block then there is no way to salvage the block. Got the info from a couple of places...

Good advice, I am still worried about the cam bearing shell if it has slipped I have been told this can trash the block and may be the top end as well. The engine was running fine as quiet as a 200tdi can be, I changed the oil and filter plus the air filter which had some oil in. After the...

125k on the donor 118 on mine I had intended keeping it for spares or possibly restoring it if there is no damage to the block . To be honest I will make my mide up once I have run the donor for a while. I want to do a long tour next year and want the best selection of engine and parts.

OMG that's going to cost me one whole pound! Seriously thank you for the advice. What would you recommend I do to the donor once it is out of the RR and on a stand, I would think I would do the rings, oil pump and crank shells given their low cost but what else should be done that's that's...

A spigot bush? are these easy to come by? thanks for the reply Cheers

DOH then changed my email so no way back in for me. Urgently looking for advice swapping a 200tdi engine from a range rover auto to my 5 speed defender 100 Regards Phil

Hi I have a defender 110 with an original 200tdi and a 5 speed manual box the engine is shot with a slipped cam bearing. I have an offer of a good 200tdi engine but it is mated to an autobox. will the crank fitting of both engines be the same. Is there anyone in the North Wales area who would...
