tuko Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'm looking at a 200Tdi Cylinder head that appears to be in good shape. BUT I'm unsure from the pictures and my lack of knowledge of early 200Tdi's if this is actually the real MacCoy? What really confuses me is that the advert has it listed with part number HRC2666, which isn't a Land Rover part number. A friend has already suggested that it might be from a Transit. So, my question is simply, what is this ? Thanks, Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 transit don't use LR 200Tdi engines, so your pal is wrong, the number you quoted is a casting number, you'll be lucky to find a LR part number on the head, that one is a genuine 200Tdi head/rocker cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotian Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 how much is it selling for? I've got one you can buy if you want to take the risk out of the transaction. If I sell you a duff part the forum will have my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks Ralph. Scotian, Thanks for the offer, but I think the shipping would be dear. The (fantasy) price is 2800:- + 25% tax + shipping + 25% tax = WAY TOO MUCH! Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotian Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 2800 what? what currency and for what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Approx. £260 plus shipping. I think that it's too much for unknown condition, unknown mileage. ......... I have another deal in the works, new posts will follow. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotian Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well if you dont find anything better let me know. I can have mine sent and I wont be asking as much as 260 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 In that case - a crack test is vital or you could be buying a rather expensive lump of scrap Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks for all the comments guys & Frida. The yellow oil cap had me wondering to Didn't the 200Tdi have a green cap just like the dip stick? Les, the advert has the Range Rover in one section as a model year 2019................Then at another spot a 1989.......... Ja right! I'm really suspicious of the ad, as the head has been for sale for some time. Therefore I made an offer today on a 300Tdi out of a accident damaged Defender with only 170000km on it. If I get the motor, this should make for an interesting conversion in my series 3 hybrid. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The yellow oil cap had me wondering to Didn't the 200Tdi have a green cap just like the dip stick? Yellow cap the same as above, on my 200. Dip stick is a sort of general oily colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
