I would also guess a cracked head or that it is slightly warped. Skimming might sort out a warped head (which could explain it was ok for a while after changing the head gasket last time).

After talking to Steve Parker again Friday, it seems that the 300tdi option is not guaranteed to clear the steering assembly for a LHD. It would probably require the turbo outlet port to be pointed in another direction which might be an option according to Steve. So, the engine will be thrown...

I gave Steve Parker a call and he was kind enough to offer to check if the 300tdi exhaust manifold would fit my SIII LHD. I'll call his workshop again this week with the key measurements. I'll update the thread with the result.

I live in Norway and have no problems starting and running at -15 with mineral 10W40. It's a SIII Norwegian exmod so the 24V system is a great advantage when cranking the engine over in the morning. These vehicles were used as radio wagons up North (inland) where -30 is normal temperatures...

Hi Chris, Yes, it's a Disco engine. The Defender manifold should bolt straight on right? BR Franco

Hi, I'm working on a 200tdi engine conversion on a Norwegian Exmod Series 3. I've bought a recon 200tdi engine but I still need a Defender manifold to make it clear the chassis. After making a few inquiries, it seems like Defender manifolds are rarer than hens teeth: Paddock's and others...
