Where you buy the engine, at what was the cost?? Should last forever now lol

Love your truck, are you still ring it

Lovely video, thank you for sharing :) Greetings from Luxembourg

Hi you both done very well ,with the replacement engine ,and a good choice, more power ,

Thanks for sharing your experience. What do think is the best level ( hight) of the header tank, relative to the cylinder head/ valve cover and the top of the radiator? What about the proper cooling fluid, if you don't go for genuine LR?

Hello and thanks for sharing your experience. I did Not get the while story, so May I ask, is there a Special reason for the T4 Bonnet or did you Swap the 300TDi for the TD4 engine? Did you "Upgrade" the engine with some ( brazilian) 2.8 (300TDi) parts? ( Crankshaft e.g.). I like the electronic free 300TDi Discovery (3dr Trophy model) and the 200TDi in my 109 S3 ex-mod, too. Regards Heinz, Germany

How many miles has this engine done? Would be interesting to know what went wrong with the old engine, 300tdi's are usually super reliable if taken care of. Hope your new engine serves you well.

When u when u do lots of miles in these 300 tdi they evaporate a lot of water but not enough that will just noticeably no ,I no this sounds weird,and yes I had the same issue in summer time were I thought I was loosing water with no visible signs until I put a very sensitive sensor on my water tank and noticed in how weather they actually u quit a bit and due to the pump being higher than the head tank it creates a air lock what makes the engine overheating when using less water than u would think in the header tank ,like only quarter of a litre with some engines. So with all them miles that u was doing it does not surprise me that this was happening so much on long journeys .hope that helps and it’s all about side of top ups on long journeys 😁

Building one yourself instead of Buying a Parentie, Brilliant Lots of bits at the end i cant identify lol, but Brilliant none the less!

My knee jerk reaction is you have a dodgy block. Be it warped or cracked internally. The other thing is how much power are you taking out of the engine? Ultimately I'd say you are doing the right thing but do check everything like the rad and the viscus fan with the new engine. Also I see you have a full width intercooler. I had to block the whole space between my rad and the wings, as I was having air being pulled around the rad and not going through the rad on my engine. I'm talking like a 1" gap was causing a problem but I could feel the air being pulled around the rad. Lovely to see another isle of Wight truck so far away! Message me if you'd like more details.

I would still love to know what caused the overheating. I'm having the same issue with my defender 130. I also gave up and about to change the whole engine with a second hand though. Thanks for the video and I like to see how yours go.

How much did you paid and did they ask for your vehicles docs?

You’re right. A brilliant. Engine

Fantastic, i have a 300tdi in my '95 110. Amazing how they keep going. Unbeknown to me i had a crack in the head which let water in to the no4 cylinder intake, when i cranked it one day it went bang and bent a conrod! Amazingly it still ran! Was just a bit down on power. I replaced the Conrod and hopefully its good for another 200 thousand miles! Great vehicle you have!

Very sketchy down along the coast after a storm.

Looks like your coolant system is over-pressurised.

had same issue with my disco 1 300tdi but haven't had the idea of connecting coolant without the tank! always something new to learn, best of luck!

Beautiful Videos from Beautiful People...

Did you modify your radiator supports to bolt on thr wings?

Hey bud where did you get your vaccum hose from brake booster

Unbelievable crap house two in one year. What a joke

Always fun to follow you on KZbin.

Love the parrots hope you are both doing well and injoying your journey Dave,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thanks Tony and Nikki. We are a little jealous as we are back home in Bellingham now. Safe travels and we look forward to seeing your next video! Mark and Robin 👍

Why are you running the plastic expansion tank?

Fantastic looking vehicle, I drove past you today just south of Pescadero, enjoy MX.

Amazing ❤

We'll be there in about a week, thanks for the preview.

What an amazing adventure!

Nice video, did you do any performance upgrades to the 300tdi?

So cool to see you two driving along the California roads! Neat build!

Its nice to see a proper laning with proper motors. Shows you dont need a tricked up mega lifted disco with silly wheels. Its also interersting to see Horseshoe lane when it was still green and only one route down the step. Badly eroded in just 20yrs. Im guessing Happy Valley aswell. Trying to work out where you passed those nice series motors.? Thanks for posting. 👍👍👍

Great to meet you both today! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions 😊

Nice video , I have a 98 300tdi ,pride of the British Army and the Crankshaft broke after 147k miles!!!! Now replaced the engine with a 96 that’s done 100k and praying for better luck

I have a 300TDI myself, and recently had to have a new high pressure diesel pump fitted as the apparently contaminated fuel in Lesotho reduced the lubricating effect of the diesel. I mention this because you said these engines would run on paraffin. I wouldn't recommend this for the above reason.

Hey mate I see you’re in Bakersfield. We’re one lane away from you at Wally World

We loved Yellowstone when we visited about 5 or 6 years ago! Hope you visit Grand Teton as well! Nice to see where you’ve headed since we met in Clinton BC.

Got the pleasure of seeing it on the road. They were shopping at a Walmart in Brigham City Utah, USA. Wonderful rig.

Great build GREAT!!!

worlds greatest land rover by a long stretch, enjoy the journey 😊😊

Indeed, very good to hear that this is your engine of choice.. I have just replaced a Puma 2.4 with a 300Tdi rebuilt at home. Did you stick with the standard vacuum pump or did you modify?

Too bad you guys were there when you were. Most smoke on record and the busiest tourist season on record. We went through between Aug10th -21st. Wasn’t quite as busy. Still skipped Banff, Lake Louise and Moraine lake. Spent all of our time in the Icefields and Jasper. If you’re headed towards Vancouver island, check out Cathedral grove. Giant cedar trees. I believe from the island or Tsawwassen you can ferry to Washington state and start your journey south once the weather starts to turn in late September/October. Cheers.

Hi Tony, I accidentally subscribed to the wrong channel thinking it was this one. Lol. It was good chatting with you at Dickson campgrounds back in British Columbia a few days ago. Hope all is well and safe travels! 😀

Hey I was one of your neighbors at the gregg lake campground. It was nice to get to meet you guys once again.

Hi, Greg here from Radium. I'll be keeping in touch.. All the best.

Totally with you over choice of engine. Having spoken to Foley’s many years ago it seemed like the obvious choice and it remains so. By the way that’s an great looking vehicle you have there.

Absolutely love your Landy. Would love a 6x6 Landy maybe yin day Safe travels in her
