Default Engine Change

Hi. I hust got a 200TDi with 104,000 miles on it dropped into my 2.5 petrol 90. Its great to have some power but its not all good.

Its sooo much more noisy than the petrol (unbareable at 70mph)

Its jerky, not nice and smooth like the petrol,

They cut all my spot light wireing and left it cut,

When they altered the bulk head to fit it (Disco engine) they just tack welded some bare mild steel plate in place and didnt paint it or anything.

Diesel is leaking out from under the throttle leaver on the engine

They connected the turbo straight into my snorkle (no filter)

They charged me £10 (over an above the £1500) for deisel they put in!

They used my brand new (not fitted yet) foward facing, folding rear seat to wedge the old engine in the back for me to take away.


So all in all I'm not as chuffed as I thought I would have been.
