Great to see an other Québecois doing diesel swaps! Awesome vidéos keep up the good work
Thanks a lot! ;)
Wow, always something special when the engine starts up. Never get fed up hearing that. Well done Ludi, sounds great. Can’t wait to see it installed now. 😊👍🏻
haha me neither ;) thanks!
I’m impressed at that adapter plate. Looks like hard work, but I’m guessing you couldn’t get hold of a Land Rover diesel engine for reasonable money
Nope, I am pretty sure all of the diesel land rovers we have here were imported so expensive..
I can see another "dieselgate" scandal coming up for VW.
Good work Ludi.
Thanks ;)
Insane work my maaannnnn !
Thanks mannnn!! ;)
You thought you were going to shout: It’s alive!!!! 😅😅
Great moment! Congratulations! 🥳🥳
haha thanks! :)
My man!! Great job!!
thanks!
When welding something that is going to vibrate a lot it’s advisable to pre heat the metal as y get a better finished product. Great news and video 👍🏻
Really! I had no idea that was something that was necessary :) thanks for the advice ;)
@@ludwigseeley6359 welding without pre heating the metal creates moisture which is incorporated into the weld and causes hydrogen cracking and since the piece you welded is going to be vibrating a lot may make your weld fail. I’m not saying it will but pre heat on anything structural is a good idea, happy welding, looking forward to seeing how the Range Rover performs and the economy side to 👍🏻
@@ewanstewart8011 Sound legit! Definetly gonna preheat next time ;)
Well done you! All those hours of bit by bit slogging all came together.
I am still concerned about that fuel / vacuum pump on the rear of the head as I wouldn't be butchering the car bulkhead. But I am sure you will find a way.
Take care and keep safe!
I am concerned as well! haha but since I changed to the automatic transmission I gained a good 5 inches of clearance ( thats why the adaptor is now much shorter) so theoretically it should be fine but we all know real life is often different ;)
@@ludwigseeley6359 Great. An unexpected bonus. That adaptor plate was some crafty bodging .... brilliant!
So good to see that everything is now ready to be fittet to the Range Rover 👍 You've done a great job! I'm already looking forward to the next update 😊
Thanks! It's going to be a big day when it moves under it's own power! 😁
1.9 TDI seems a bit puny to be putting in RR. Could you not have found something larger e.g. 2.5 VW TDI? Years ago I had a 2.1 TDI Peugeot engine In 2 door classic. It worked really hard all the time with lots of clutch work - so maybe the auto is the way to go. Had poor acceleration and a top speed of 60 mph. Having said all that I did tow with it and it was great fun to own and drive. Keep up the good work. Loving the content👍
Maybee! Hoping it's going to be okay once tuned!
Another step forward. Will you be doing anything to/with the engine or is it fine as it is?...
Will have it tuned to get more power out of it, how much I do not know yet, it will depend on the budget when I get there!
1.9 seems small. What is the power output and torque figures bud?
