Hi folks,

The head gasket, on my 19J engine has gone, should I change the engine for 200/300tdi or just replace the head gasket?  :'(

The defender has only done 95000
Any thoughts

200 Tdi will go straight onto the gearbox etc without major issues, 300 Tdi needs more work, either will give 10-15 mph improvement and a few extra MPG. If you can find a good 200 Tdi then personally I'd go for it.

Personally if the engine otherwise runs well I'd do the headgasket. Its a cheaper repair than the silly money people want for old/high mileage tdi's and the 19j is a good little engine when set up correctly.

Finding a good 200 is getting harder but easier, if you dropping in a 300 then you need to weld in new mounts. But if you got the time much easier to find.  ;D
