If you truly want a Land Rover that will get you out "there" go with Tom's suggestion. Mate the 300tDi with a R380 and you'll have one of the best rigs around. Call Mike up at Brit Rest in Canadia for some pointers on the ease of the swap.

If my original 3.9 goes one day I'm putting a Diesel in it for sure.

 

300 tdi X 3! I'm 65% certain I'll be doing this soon. Maybe I'll throw the 4.0 into my Miata.

 

Or you can just buy this one.http://qc.kijiji.ca/c-autos-et-vehic...AdIdZ238294438

 

Doesn't that mean "Worn Out, won't hold compression, need rebuilding or replacing" ?

 

I've seen that one. It used to be Mike's from Britrest. I thinks it's slightly overpriced though.

 

What is the deal with Mike??? Sorry for the hijack but I can not raise him on the phone... line was disconnected for a while. Did he go back to Jolly olde England for the winter???

 

I don't know I saw him a couple of weeks ago when I picked up my parts truck. Did you use the phone number on his website? I know he switched to Skype at some point.

 

That diesel thing doesn't go out of my head there are lot of possibilities.Here in Montreal is one company that import used Japanese engines ,http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/jdm-cars/ mostly performance cars , but sometimes they have interesting stuff .Even whole trucks.http://qc.kijiji.ca/c-autos-et-vehic...AdIdZ241099462

 

I agree, it's hard to get the diesel thing out of my head. My brother and I think diesels are the way to go. We're looking for cheap diesel options.
