Cchase Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I checked on the engine at the rebuilders today and the journal edge for the #3 main bearing is quite worn. I am now looking for a HRC 1308 crankshaft, or will look into having this one rebuilt. Not the news that I was hoping for. I have sent off an email to Paddock Spares to see if they have the part. Do any of you fine folks have suggestions? I read in one post that the ERR 1181 crank is the same, but would need strong confirmation.

vulcan bomber Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 A 12j, 19j, or 200TDi crank shaft will fit your block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Buy from a reputable source for something that important. It is not the time for a mystery metal Chinese copy. http://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/err-1181-crankshaft-c2x20634815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 as the others have mentioned, it - ERR1181 is used in these engines had a trawl through the parts info I use. 2.5 petrol from chassis VIN 399928 2.5 n/a diesel from chassis 399928 2.5 TD from August 1989 all 200Tdi including Discovery variant a option might be this crank ETC8829 fitted to 2.5 petrol & 2.5 n/a diesel up to chassis VIN 399927 & TD up to August 1989. & any HRC number embossed on components is NOT a LR part number, just a blank unmachined part identity.

Cchase Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks! Quick and just the information that I need. Paddock sells the ERR1181 made by Genmot in Turkey. Would this be a good unit? C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 probably used in the Turkish built Otokar defenders so most likely will be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cchase Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 I had great communication from Turner Engineering when I asked about their products. Thanks, Red90 for putting me on to them. They are definitely more than a parts supplier. Cheers, Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I used Turner Engineering for parts for my 12J and 200Tdi, and more recently had them rebuild my 300Tdi (I wanted that specific engine rebuilt, not exchanged, for vehicle originality, and they were happy to oblige). I have also had plenty of advice from them over the phone. I rate them very highly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cchase Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 The engine rebuild is at a pause as I am waiting for one of the check valve bolts for a piston oiler. Are these a bit fragile when reinstalling? Here are a couple of shots of the block and new pistons and the shiny new crankshaft. I had the exhaust manifold powder coated fir a bit of bling...before it gets muddy... Cheers, Colin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
