After i had to sadly sell my beloved rangie i am in the market for a new 4wd after considering a landcrusier and patrol but the land rover bug has bitten hard and i want another Rangie but my next rangie will be a long distance tourer so it a diesel i know they are hard to find i have only ever seen one that was't stuffed. so i am planning a diesel conversion with a 5 speed manual but which engine is better suited a 4bd-1t or a Td5 i want to modify the engine aswell to get more power out of it.

any info would help.

TD5 is out of the question unless you want to spend 10k on a 2k rangie, 300tdi would be the easiest conversion as wrecked disco's are common and reasonably cheap and then you get all the parts you need. Isuzu would be good but its a big heavy motor and the conversion parts (to landy) are getting hard to find and you will have to go 4spd as the 5spd and auto's get chewed up with the isuzu.
Saddle up tonto, its the not so loanrangie! . 98 TDI DISCO lightly modded with more to come.
