Land Rover Part Number: ERR2418 - Connecting Rod - 300Tdi
ERR2418 is a Connecting Rod for the 2.5L 300Tdi engine. Fitted within the engine bottom end, it transmits the piston's reciprocating forces to the crankshaft, forming the mechanical link between the piston gudgeon pin and the crankshaft journal. Correct bearing condition and clearance at the big-end and small-end are critical for service life; connecting rods are manufactured and heat-treated to resist bending and fatigue and are typically replaced if they show ovality, excessive wear, or distortion from over-revving or engine failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
ERR2418 is the connecting rod that converts the piston's linear motion into the crankshaft's rotation in the 2.5L 300Tdi engine. The small end locates on the gudgeon (piston) pin and the big end holds bearing shells around the crankshaft journal, so bearing condition and correct clearance are critical. When a rod shows ovality, excessive wear or distortion from over-revving or engine failure it is normally replaced and related bearings and crank journals should be inspected.

Replace the rod if the big-end or small-end shows ovality or excessive wear, or if the rod has been distorted by over-revving or engine failure. When replacing a single rod, inspect the mating crankshaft journal and associated bearings; replacement as a matched set is common practice where balance and roundness are required.
