Yeh, I don't want to spend more than I have to but it does need to be done right. Turbo Solutions sounds like the best way to go, sending them my turbo will ensure I'm only paying what I need to, they can assess it and decide on what needs replaying.

I can answer this myself now, but any more input is more than welcome. I found this turbo repairer online called Turbo Solutions and gave them a call. Reconditioned = £300 Send them my turbo to inspect and repair, price would start at £160 and then depending on the parts they need to fit...

I'm having a recon engine fitted to my Defender 90 200dti and the garage doing it has advised me that the blades in the turbo are damaged, see image. It seemed to work OK before, but does anyone know if the turbo can be repaired or does it have to be replaced? I'm sure this must be effecting...

I'm considering using Engine Solutions to fit a reconditioned engine. They have good reviews on the internet, has any one on this forum has any experience using them? http://www.enginesolutions.co.uk/

I'm not in the position to rebuild an engine myself, can do other maintenance and repairs but nothing that major. Will research repairers, I don't know how the crack happened...

No I haven't, wasn't confident that would hold, someone said it would probably crack either side of the repair, but what do they know? Doesn't seem too bad though, I need to find someone who could do that to have a look and depends on cost.

So I'm new to Land rover ownership and have been thrown in the deep end. The Defender I bought has many new parts, the chassis looks sound and I like how she looks sprayed black. I noticed fluid leaking down the clutch pedal, master cylinder seals have gone, so I should finally be replacing...

My engine has a crack in the outer wall of the block and although I have managed a temporary seal, the engine will need replacing. It is Defender 90 200 DTI, so I could source a Disco engine, swap my bits over, have the head gasket changed, new cam belt and of course the clutch and fitted for...

Ok, I'm still considering my options, might still go with a recon engine. I'm surprised no one has taken it off you yet....

Too far away then, I'm near London...!

I've asked my local parts supplier and they know of some customers who fit recon engines, he is going to ask them from a realistic price I will need to pay, I know I'm going to get good advice from him.

I'm interested, my defender is 1991...

Is this still available?

Where are you, wasn't planning to go to lz11 and don't know what that is but am interested in the tent...

Ah thanks, google usually is but I couldn't find a definite price...

I have a garage in mind to do it but would get the clutch done. I said to the dealer about getting the clutch done if he replaces the engine but this way I know what parts have been changed for certain... I'll have a look on eBay thanks.

I meant to say second hand...

I'm trying to find out how much a recon engine is and have posted on here in the 200dti engine area of this forum. The dealer offered to pay me what it is going to cost him to get the second engine fitted, I could put that towards and recon and pay the rest myself, get an engine I know and keep...

I have to get my engine replaced and have been offered a second hand with similar mileage by the dealer. I'm considering taking money off him instead and put some money towards a region engine. I'm having difficulty finding how much a recon engine is and where to get one. Does anyone know how...
