Frequently asked questions

What is the LDF500180 cylinder head and what's included?
The LDF500180 is a bare cylinder head casting for the 300TDi 2.5L four-cylinder turbo diesel, supplied without valves. Valve seats and valve guides are fitted, but the valves, springs and rest of the valve train are not included. It bolts to the top of the block over the head gasket.
Which Land Rover models does this 300TDi cylinder head fit?
This cylinder head fits the 300TDi engine in the Defender (1993-1998), Discovery 1 (1993-1998) and Range Rover Classic (1992-1994). It suits the 300TDi only, not the earlier 200TDi or later Td5. Confirm your engine type before ordering.
What else do I need when fitting this cylinder head?
Replace the cylinder head bolts and head gasket when fitting this head, as the original stretch bolts shouldn't be reused. You'll also need valves, springs and valve train parts, since the head is supplied bare with only valve seats and guides fitted.
Why would a 300TDi cylinder head need replacing?
300TDi cylinder heads typically need replacing after cracking between the valve seats or injector bores, or warping from overheating. Cracks often show as coolant loss, white exhaust smoke or pressure in the cooling system. A cross-reference for this head is ERR5027.
