200TDi was a bit 'agricultural' but a willing worker. Our eldest son has a '91 Defender CSW (County Station Wagon) and I was surprised just how perky it was, although the vehicle is lighter than a D1.
The 300TDi has a reputation for blowing head gaskets and warped heads as a result of water loss. As with the V8, regular water and oil checks pay off.
Early 300TDi's have the 'reverse gate' R380 and undrilled gear where the output shaft goes into the LT230, so always worth checking to see if that input gear has been cross-drilled for lubrication.
Defender LT230's have a different gear ratio to Discovery LT's.
One of the 'charms' of LR ownership is that parts are available back to Series III vehicles, almost unique in the car world, and plenty of people in the UK who can ship stuff over.
I think PT had a 300TDi in his place when we visited in 2009? going into a RR Classic I seem to remember.

Not that I am Andrew(nice guy by the way, just probably didn't choose the right course of action), but did you ever personally use one of the drive shafts? Or you're just assuming it's junk?
While it's fun to be a keyboard warrior, why not stop questioning literally everything? I could give you a purchase invoice, and sales invoice of a 300TDi long block that was imported within the past two months, but what would that do? You'd just question it and call me a dipshit. What's the benefit for me?

Yeah, I don't wheel my truck, didn't import 2 110's, restoring a 3rd, and don't have any clue about importing motors...but you and well established mysterious company has been importing 300tdi's for years. What is the name of this awesome business?
But you won't, you'll call me a web tough guy or keyboard warrior and never provide any proof of the many 300tdi's that you have imported over the years...just calling you out on your bullshit
But, you did fall for the bait...no, not andrew, but that dipshit from the imaginary driveline shop, buying shit and re-selling it.

Wait, I thought you were one of the guys from Rovers North that I met at the Maine Winter Romp last year. Weren't you one of the guys in the Evoque?DiscoPhoto said:ut:

Nice photo haha, and yes, but I would be lying if I said it to Mongo.

For the sake of the discussion, if you're bringing them in under the RN auspice (hypothetically of course) that's a totally different thing than an individual bringing one over for private use. Gov't sales/NGO sales/etc is a totally different ball game than importation by a private individual for utilization on the highways.
Or am I way off base?

It's a good point. I can't speak for the custom's side, but a customer of RN did the same thing within the past few months with no issues. He imported it as "car parts" and it's currently in his Series project.

WRONG!
It is still unlawful to import them but there do seem to be a lot here already.
Until it's 25 years old, you run a risk of having it seized. The penalty is ridiculous as well if you get caught.
FWIW-I finally met a gentleman who personally was refuse dimportation of a TDi. He was in the process of importing a 110 when he was told he couldn't import it with the 200 TDi it had in it. He had to have a 3.5 put in it as the importing agency (US Navy) would not allow anything but the 3.5.
I had a gasoline engine seized until I certified it was "Fundamentally similar" to a type-accepted engine.

I've heard of a few people getting denied when it's IN a vehicle, have you heard of people being denied when being shipped as parts? I have yet to see/ hear about this.

Did you miss the part where I said I had a gasoline engine seized?
If the CBP/DOT seized a 4.6, do you really think they wouldn't seize a TDi?
Look up form 3520, it will scare you spitless.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was questioning your experiences. I was just asking you if you've seen a TDi seized. I know for quite a while when RN was importing 300TDi's for the NAS90 conversion there weren't any importation issues, the only problem was selling them as a kit to replace a compliant engine. Customs sees what we import, and gets a HTS code for each product. As recently as 12.21 we had a 300 long block come in from the UK without issue.
I haven't seen that form but I will look into it, importation has been a huge gray area for a long time, what is legal with who, and when, has always been debated.
