pat_pending Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Many years ago I worked for a company fitting these engines into Land Rovers. Brilliant lump, great for towing with, but very very heavy. Parts were hard to come by as the engine was never fitted into any UK Nissan. Only the importers, SMC of Bristol or Samurai in Cornwall were a reliable source, with prices that hurt.

Retroanaconda Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 According to eBay it gives 130HP and 284Nm. So a bit more poke than your standard Tdi, but on par with a Td5. Though obviously a lot more basic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamC Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 My dad had one of these in his 90 which replaced the original 2.25 petrol. It was an excellent engine. I did hear that parts are hard to get hold of but it was so reliable that no spares were needed in the 15 years he owned the vehicle.

kiwi_110 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Exactly what I'm running. Pulls like a train indeed, gear driven injector pump and cam, unbreakable, but noisey. These donkeys originally fitted to Nissan Atlas (small lorry) in the 90's. Heaps of them here in NZ. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I had one in a 90 and it was a fantastic engine, pulled like a train even with high ratio transfer box. It was very economical as I remember at the time I was regularly driving from Devon to Glasgow and only had one fuel stop per trip, may be something to do with the 1.22 transfer box and 265 tyres. As already said parts are hard to come by in this country, but you rarely need any parts other than oil filters which are easy to get.
