MARTIN CROSS Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I am thinking of buying one of these. They use a 6 cylinder petrol engine of about 2500cc. I was wondering about the practicality of transplanting a Land Rover 200TDI,possibly with gearbox and transfer case. Has anyone done this or re-engined one of these? Thanks, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Be honest for the milage your doing, stick with the petrol engine. I have just put the Range Rover off the road for the winter, needs a sort out after five years of abuse, and got a Discovery 200tdi. Quite honestly regreting it already, after three days the engine is a lousy slow revving pice of S***. the turbo lag is measured on a calander! And with no anti roll bars the handling ^&*(££"$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have seen a few fourms on this but it is a bit problematic due to the gear ratios and available space but wit a will there is always way http://www.c303.de/c303-en/d-om603-smt.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Another popular transplant is the other way round - fitting the portal axles to Land Rovers (and other 4x4's)! This is a shame as many Tgb 11's / C303's are thus relegated to serving out their days as a garden shed. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) yep a lot here are axle less as the idea was invented in Malaysia of interest the 6x6 has different diff ratios [ATTACH]34186[/ATTACH] Edited September 10, 2010 by fesm_ndt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
