Never simple is it? Thanks though might be getting some where. Didn't know the 200dti engine block was used for the Range Rover also...

Is that acceptable?

Engine number, I will attempt to decipher, but please do tell me what it is if you know...

And I see it now, right side of the block...

I missed your comment arc, thanks that was a really interesting thread.

Where is that number, I should have time to look for it over the weekend, how do I know if it was from a Defender or Discovery ?

No, no confirmation on the origin of the engine yet, sorry, sleepless night....

I have taken the advice of my local part supplier who had a look when I was there, fingers crossed it is correct when it arrives Monday...

I will at some point out of curiosity, but we need to know, why...? [emoji52]

Don't know where the bare engine came from, Defender or Disco, but both are the same I'm told...

I haven't got the old engine, they had to fit s new temperature switch' or sender as when they road tested the gauge didn't show anything.

Top hose is 62 degrees centigrade and bottom hose is 45. Just taken her for a 8 mile drive stopping periodically to check the temperature. Highest was 70 when I got back.

64 degrees centigrade when then gauge reached the red mark as it did before, shown in the image, the gauge reads just on the red no higher, so should be about 70 or 80 once fully up to temperature, will leave it for longer and check again...

I have a temperature gun, what should it read if I point it at the engine?

I have only done about 15 miles...

Been to the local Land Rover part supplier and they have said the same, either air lock or temperature sender. Discussing it we are more of the opinion that it is the wrong sender. The 'coolant switch' was changed by the garage as the gauge wasn't working when they took it for a test drive. I...

Had them fit a new turbo, thanks for asking, may have paid a bit more than doing it myself, but it is covered by their warranty, parts and fitting... Also no risk of the old turbo being blamed or actually causing problems.

The garage advised me to remove the coolant cap and squeeze the pipes, to dislodge a possible air lock, otherwise if it persists, to change the thermostat. It did drop but only a little...

Just got my Defender 90 200dti back from having a recon engine fitted, the temperature looks high to me, but it might have been low before, they had to fit a new coolant temperature switch. As I haven't driven many defenders I don't know what is normal, what do you think?

The bare engine is being changed by a garage who noticed the damage to the turbo when they took it off. I have only had the Land Rover a few weeks so this damage was probably done before I got it.
