sulphur Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Dear all, I currently own a 1990 defender running a 300 tdi engine which seems to be quite tired now. This got me considering swaping to a td5 however I need help in from where I can get a full conversion (including bulkhead ancillaries and the rest) as I want this to be done the proper way or maybe someone can advise where I can get a crashed defender td5 to dismantle? regards, Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Welcome to the forum. I have no idea on any conversion kits out there, someone else might come along soon who does know. However, I do know of CWS in Glastonbury who specialise in breaking 4x4s, they might be worth speaking to for advice but they are not cheap. http://www.cws4x4.co.uk/ I imagine that unless you pay for an engine with a warranty or get a rebuilt one, you could end up paying a lot of money for the conversion with all of the necessary electonic upgrades to swap a tired 300Tdi for a tired Td5, they are not without there problems.... but people have done it! What about the options of either selling your Defender and buy a Td5 Defender, or keep your Defender and get a recon 300Tdi engine with a warranty?
