Land Rover TDV6 2.7 Diesel Swap
Donor: Land Rover / PSA TDV6 276DT (Discovery 3 / Range Rover Sport TDV6)
A factory-Land-Rover option that keeps the truck "in the family". The 2.7 TDV6 offers 190 bhp / 440 Nm with sequential twin turbos, aluminium block, and modern refinement. Best suited to 110s and 130s where the extra length of the ancillaries fits comfortably.

The tightest packaging challenge is intercooler routing and the front-mounted AC compressor. TDV6 wiring loom must be simplified (delete AdBlue, HDF, EGR block-off), and the ECU (Denso DCU-102) reflashed by a specialist. Original ZF 6HP26 auto is the recommended gearbox — LT230 mates via a custom adapter with a new drive flange.
