I'll have whatever they are smoking. S2/S3/FC etc arent classic but a 2009 L322 is :D

I dont mean an LED flashing btw, theres a red one that has an electrical symbol on it

Does it crank over or not and do you get a light flashing on the dash?

You will be fine, even if you fitted a completely different engine as long as the rest of the vehicle is basically original spec then you'd still be over the points needed

Doubles as handbrake light, I dont think it should come on during starting unless fluid is low or handbrake is on

Working as intended, its called dim dip

I think @classic kev knows the v8 well

Not a bad result when you think how many pieces it has been in :D

Another vote for plant enamel. Hard and slippy once its gone off proper

Personally I would avoid the "new style" as its a britpart one. Its possible its a decent make but its a bit of a lottery and I'd rather stick to the elring

An inch or so of heatshrink on the ends helps prolong the life of the tube For replacing spill pipes yes, thats what it has been doing to you every day. You wouldn't want to try and fill a fuel filter by cranking it tho

200tdi start fine without glow plugs even down near freezing temps. At a guess it sounds like you may be getting air in your diesel, could be spill pipes

No, plus you will already have a different bellhousing (or maybe an adaptor) to fit the perkins

300tdi would be the easiest, Td5 is a good choice if you dont mind doing electrics too

They do now but not in 2008 ;)

No worse than any other 20-25 year old car, you may find a few that need a little work on sills or wheel arches but more common will be ali corrosion on the bottom of the lower tailgate and the bottom edge of the doors

I doubt you will find a P38 on a galv chassis as they don't really rust. Well they do but they are probably the least rusty LR product out there. Maintainence will be very similar I'd expect although the p38 has more electronics, for either vehicle you'd want your own proper diag too. The TD5 is...
