oneandtwo Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Over the years I have aquired a number of spare engines, it am now pushed for space! I have five complete 300tdis, plus even more ancillaries (and a 15p td5) At one point, I did run three 300tdi defenders, but now I’m down to one 90 and can’t see myself getting another. How many 300tdi spares would you keep? I was thinking of completely rebuilding one of them, and selling off the rest, or possibly rebuilding one and keeping another one as is for a spare.

Anderzander Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 7 engines for 1 car does seem excessive ? 😊👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneandtwo Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 The 15p is actually a spare for my fathers 2006 90csw, so that has to stay! It’s the mountain of 300tdi engines and bits which is the problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 You need at least 6 more engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbekko Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Maybe you should buy a boat so you can use them for their one true purpose, a boat anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Haha yeah this is kind of a 1st World problem surely? Seriously I would sell one and save 2 for the time being, you never know what'll happen, and you can always sell another one later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 With the seeming surge in SII and SIII rebuilds, the Tdis should find eager buyers quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailysleaze Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just follow the old rule: Ideal number of engines = current number of engines + 1 < number of engines causing divorce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
