{"product_id":"defender-90-cylinder-head-replacement-package","title":"Defender 90 Cylinder Head Replacement Package","description":"\u003cp\u003eCylinder Head Replacement Package for the Defender 90: a reconditioned, pressure tested and skimmed cylinder head with gaskets, bolts and fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2.7 and 3.0 V6 diesels in the Discovery 3 and 4, the Sport and the later L322 can spin a bearing and break the crankshaft, which is an engine out job and the single largest bill these vehicles produce. The early signs are low oil pressure warnings, a knock at idle and metal in the oil. These packages rebuild the engine properly with the revised parts, rather than dropping in a used engine with the same history. The 90 is the short wheelbase and the one that gets used hardest off road, so the parts on it are the ones we see worn out fastest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Defender 90, chassis code LD 90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: 200Tdi, 300Tdi, Td5, 2.4 and 2.2 Puma diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 1983 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: Remanufactured or New Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the factory part number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch, because supersessions on these vehicles are frequent and one printed number would be wrong for somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: a cracked head or failed head gasket with coolant loss or mixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: about 12 to 20 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: none required.

Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure. We do not sell particulate filter deletes, EGR blanking plates, AdBlue emulators or emissions defeat software. They are illegal on a road vehicle in the UK, an MOT failure and they void insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemanufactured is stripped to the casting, measured, rebuilt with new bearings seals and wear parts and rig tested, with a surcharge refunded on your old unit. New Unit is a brand new unit rather than an exchange, for when your old one is past rebuilding or you cannot be without the vehicle while we assess the core.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solihull Spares","offers":[{"title":"Remanufactured","offer_id":54809557467469,"sku":"SLS-ENG-048-R","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"New Unit","offer_id":54809557500237,"sku":"SLS-ENG-048-NU","price":2549.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6247\/2269\/files\/Defender_90_Cylinder_Head_Replacement_Package_5b1e0eee-13f1-49ca-aab3-e129ff356dae.jpg?v=1790171614","url":"https:\/\/solihullspares.com\/products\/defender-90-cylinder-head-replacement-package","provider":"Solihull Spares","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
