Land Rover used the short block Chevy based engine from about 1970, I always thought they used the same lump until the Disco 3 came out. I take your point with the cost of a new motor $12k.........that's a lot.

It's the same here, well maybe not as expensive as a house, but I know what you mean. I was toying with the idea of selling my Defender and getting a Disco for more comfort. Instead we sold the wife's car and bought her a Freelander.

If the Disco's hold their value in the states it worth considering the engine swap. I had a new chassis for my Defender this year but I could only do that as Defender value is just increasing like crazy.

That Cummins 2.8L motor does look very interesting though, I can understand why you guys are considering them.

Now I understand your problems. It's not a bad engine at all. Not a fast motor but plenty of torque, well that's the case with my Defender.

Didn't Land Rover offer the TD5 in the States?
