  1. Hi, Finally got me a defender and am looking to put a full roof and sides rather than the truck cab it has at the moment. Thought I could get away with only three seats but the kids seem to think its cool to arrive in a Defender! The question is do all roofs fit or is the fitting to the windscreen different between the 200/300tdi and the later models(Td5 etc). I have a 1989 defender. Many Thanks in advance
  2. Thanks everyone. Looks like time for a strip down and rebuild with decent parts is in order. Thanks for all your help.
  3. Hi, first post on here so please excuse any silly questions! I have a 300tdi engine - removed from the car at the moment- that has a strange engine number. It has been stamped up as a 25L but these three characters seem to be different from the rest of the engine number. It also has an "International Engines South America" sticker on it which is backed up by having "IND ARGENTINA" embossed on the block. It came out of a Wolf 90 (1998) and hasn't really run right despite having a new turbo, reconditioned head and new head gasket etc, but it was still really smoky and drank oil. Someone had suggested that it could be a 2.8litre engine that we had been fitting 2.5litre ancillaries on, so once it was removed from the car we verified it was a 2.5 by measuring the bores. Despite not running right it did seem to have a bit better performance than the 300 tdi we replaced it with. Does anyone know anything about Argentinian engines or could shed any light on what engine it is. Many thanks in advance..
