	Hi Guys. Not even sure this is the right area to write this. But i have a 418td rover engine from i car used to own. Cut it up years ago. Cant remember what i was going to use it for. But now I'm having a bit of a sort out at home. Moved it today. Now was wondering whether it may bolt up to a landrover bellhousing. As i have a landrover that used to have a v8 in it. Which all those companents went in a mates car. So I'm left with some standard bits. But feel i ought to bolt it together and use it. Any thoughts on this engine. Was a low milage a full service history car. So seems a shame to just disregard it. Thanks Roland

	It's a Peugeot XUD engine so will bolt to a Sherpa diesel box to rwd it iirc. It might sell OK, most of the 1.8 were non turbo I think be nice in a 205 or similar.

	205 and early 405 and bx used the turbo versions, before increasing bore and reaching the 1905cc of the later engine, using the same crank.

I think there's a fair bit of difference internally between NA and TD versions. You should be able to sell yours pretty easily though, think you'd be making life hard to try and fit it in a land rover though - many more tried and tested options than that

	differences are lower compression pistons, 21.8 vs 23-1. forged crank in turbo models, unsure about he rods, the blocks have oil spray bars.
