This is a Land Rover Defender 11L, 200TDi engine with high mount turbo and complete with everything you need to do a swap!
Why swap? Way more power, 30+ mpg efficiency and awesome reliability!
More power - 111bhp or thereabouts, against 85 for a factory-fresh 2.5TD, 67 for a 2.5 NA. Most TDs are putting out a lot less. The TDi does not seem to suffer from bore and piston wear like the older engines, so the power output does not drop off as badly with age.
Better economy - direct fuel injection gives 30mpg or better.
More reliability - easy cold starting, and the whole engine is far more durable than any Land Rover engine before it. There are plenty of 200TDis out there still running perfectly with more than 250,000 miles on them.

I bought this along with a bunch of other equipment and had been planning a project with it. But I’m cleaning out the garage so it’s going. Don’t know the year or miles but the gentleman’s estate I bought it from showed excellent care for everything I bought. He was meticulous and judging by various parts on it, I believe it’s been rebuilt! It’s all there, including turbo, injection pump, electrical, gauges, radiator and intercooler.
I’ve started it with a spray of starting fluid so I’m certain with a battery and an hour you can start it and hear it run. You’re welcome to try before you buy!
