This listing is for a Nissan TD27 engine for sale in fairly used condition: a complete 2.7 litre diesel, pulled from a donor vehicle, cleaned, compression-tested and ready to ship to you anywhere in the world. If your Urvan, Caravan, Navara or Terrano has a tired or broken TD27, this is the straight replacement.
The price you see is for a tested, running engine. Before we take payment, we confirm it fits your vehicle and send you photos of the actual engine you’re getting.

Why Buy a Fairly Used TD27
The TD27 was built heavy and simple. Cast iron, gear-driven timing, pushrods, mechanical injection. There’s no timing belt to snap and no complicated electronics on most versions. That’s why a good used one is often a better buy than a new engine of another type: it bolts straight in, your mechanic already knows it, and parts are cheap almost everywhere.
A fairly used Nissan TD27 engine for sale costs a fraction of a full rebuild of your old engine, and your vehicle is back at work in days instead of weeks.
Fairly Used, Reconditioned or Rebuilt?
The price on this page is for a fairly used engine: tested, running and sold in the condition it came out of the donor vehicle. For most vans and pickups doing normal work, that’s the best value.
If your vehicle works very hard every day, carrying full loads or running long routes, you might prefer a reconditioned unit with new gaskets, seals and a head service, or a fully rebuilt engine. Those cost more. Ask us and we’ll quote whichever Nissan TD27 engine for sale suits the way you use your vehicle, and we’ll tell you honestly if the cheaper one will do the job.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your TD27
- Low or uneven compression on a proper test
- Coolant in the oil, or oil in the coolant
- A cracked head after overheating
- Heavy blue smoke and oil use you can measure each week
- A knock from the bottom end that gets louder as it warms up
Once you’re there, rebuilding usually costs about as much as a tested replacement, and the vehicle sits idle for longer. That’s when a fairly used Nissan TD27 engine for sale makes the most sense.
How We Test It
- Compression test on all four cylinders, looking for even readings.
- Check of the block and head for cracks or old repairs.
- Oil check for coolant or metal.
- Turbo shaft play checked on turbo units.
- Injection pump and injectors checked for leaks.
- Photos and, on request, video of the engine sent to you.
If an engine doesn’t pass, we don’t sell it. Every Nissan TD27 engine for sale on our site has been through these checks.
Before You Order: Fitment Details We Need
- Vehicle make, model and year
- Chassis or VIN number
- Engine code from your current block (TD27, TD27T, TD27Ti or TD27ETi)
- Manual or automatic, 2WD or 4WD
- A photo of your current engine
Vans, pickups and 4x4s can use different sumps, mounts and manifolds. We’ll tell you about any differences up front so the install goes smoothly. That way the Nissan TD27 engine for sale you receive is ready to bolt in.
Fitting Tips
Pass these to your mechanic when your Nissan TD27 engine for sale arrives:
- Flush or replace the radiator and fit a new thermostat. Overheating is what kills TD27s.
- Fresh oil and filter before first start.
- Bleed the fuel system properly.
- Check injection pump timing if the pump was moved.
- Drive gently for the first few hundred kilometres.
