JimAttrill Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 In theory a 21L engine is a Disco 300Tdi electronic engine with EDC. My Defender has a 21L engine which has no EGR or EDC. So it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Is 16L a defender spec 300TDi? from ralph saying 21L is disco spec...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 All 300TDis are equal, just some more equal than others. Quite seriously though, there is very little difference between any 300 and any other. All same size, all same power rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Neale Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 16L = 2.5 TDi GEM III MANUAL - 300 SERIES 1995MY> DEFENDER. ie a Defender spec 300 tdi, 95 model year onwards. 21L is a Disco / RRC 300Tdi '94 model year onwards, manual box, with EGR.

Discovan300tdi Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 just to confuse folk even more Ive been stripping down the original 1994 300tdi engine out of my disco and the engine number in that starts with 18L so whats that then? the enging thats currently in is a 21L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridaT Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 16L - 300TDI Defender 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23L - all Discovery 300TDI engines. Minor differences would be EGR and auto/manual type. Basic engines are all the same. FridaT www.turner-engineering.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
