Posted April 10, 2009. my Defender workshop manual covers the earlier engine upto & including the 200Tdi, I have the 300Tdi/R380 gearbox & later LT230 transfer box in a seperate book, there isn't much change between the early & late 200Tdi engines, most of the differences are within threads on this very forum. qTg9i.

The Land Rover Td5 engine was already in development for the Discovery when Land Rover was purchased by BMW, whereby it was also integrated into the Defender model.
