Popular opinion is the Td5 shares it's bore/stroke and even rod design with the O Series, and I turn with the Prima, M Series, T Series, and L Series engines which all share the same/similar blocks.

I've never had a piston/rod from more than one in my hand at any one time, so can't confirm it any further.

I take it you mean Defender / Discovery 300Tdi injectors? (Tdi was never fitted to Freelanders ... at least not by factory :think:)

Didn't realise they (the injectors - not a Tdi; that would be a challenge :lol:) would fit.

Hmmmm :think:

To continue the 'parts bin enineering theme', can anyone confirm if L Series & Land Rover Td5 pistons are the same?


Freelander, discovery, same thing :? lol

It's not the whole injectors - they're too long, and the high pressure lines wouldn't fit. Just the nozzles from the injectors ;) Once mine passes about 150Bhp, it's a mod I'll be doing

The nozzle bit is obvious now I've stopped being a numpty & re-read your post :oops:
Interesting that you can uprate injectors like that & could turn out to be useful; thanks
