Off the road but sadly not "off-roading"

Where

Turner Engineering have a good reputation for reconditioned Landrover engines:

AWEM

How melted ? Block damage or head damage ?

Try this mod after fitting the engine

you'll want a new head if you've really cooked it, from what I hear. I forget who I got the one for ours from. If the pistons are iffy you'll want them too. get the block checked for flatness.

plastic plugs are horrid things. You can get the earlier brass ones from Beamends for a couple of quid.

and adding a coolant level sensor makes sense, too. never worked out why they didn't fit 'em.

It saves 7g of weight and 87.3p in costs, therefore it doesn't get fitted.

Not the most cost-effective but certainly worth considdering: Here in Holland, Vis Landrovers in Scheveningen-The Hague offers a 2.8 liter International turbo diesel engine as replacement for the 300tdi.

Lots of torque(+30%) and power(+24%)!

only in Dutch:

Has anyone heard of or used Heathrow engines? The re-conditioned engines they supply seem fairly cheap but a couple of people I have spoken to have said not to use them as the engines they supply may not be fully re-conditioned.

As a cheaper option where would I get hold of a second hand engine? Or is re-conditioned worth paying the extra for?

What is actually wrong with the dead engine ? Used engines ? Ebay.
