rebiuld the 200 tdi or put in a rover v8
dik head of the month goes to me .thought driving thru a river to wash off the mud was a good idea SPLURT SPLURT TINK turns out not a good idea i think the old 200tdi has died any way what do u think would be cheaper rebuilding the 200tdi or put in a rover v8

Depending on what you did, you probably don't need a full rebuild. At worst, pistons, conrods and valves, But you may as well give the bottom end a going over at the same time.
I am 99% sure fixing/rebuilding your tdi will be a lot cheaper than a v8 swap.

different turbo, turbo manifold, timing/front cover, inlet manifold, positioning of alt, a/c cond, p/s pump.
but that gear should be in good nick if you only injested a small amount of water.
while the turbo manifold is off, have it drilled and tapped for a thermocouple to tune later.
as always have the rad rodded, dodgy l/r techs put a crossflow design in front of 200tdi's so muck settles inside tubes unable to be flushed/cleaned easily.

ps my 200 blows more exhaust through the oil filler than the exhaust pipe atm. yes i'm going through the same process as you.
