At Timik Engines, near Southampton in Hampshire, we specialise in remanufacturing quality diesel engines on-site. As proud members of the Federation of Engine Re-manufacturers, we ensure every engine meets the rigorous standards of BSI AU 257:2002, part of the British Standard Automobile Series.
The Perkins 403C-15 is a compact 3-cylinder diesel engine from the 400 Series range, offering 1.5 litres of displacement with naturally aspirated induction and indirect injection. Introduced in 2004 and produced through to 2012, this engine was widely adopted across compact agricultural and industrial machinery.
Its small footprint and reliable design made it particularly well-suited to applications where space was limited but dependable power was essential. The 403C-15 found its way into New Holland compact tractors including the TC30, TC33, TC33D, and TC33DA models, as well as New Holland skid steers such as the L140, L150, LS140, LS465, LX465, and LX485.
Beyond agricultural equipment, the engine powered mini excavators, turf care machinery, lift platforms, and small generator sets across industrial sectors. With straightforward engineering and good parts availability through Perkins dealer networks and independent suppliers, the 403C-15 remains a practical engine to maintain.
Its simplicity means mechanics familiar with the 400 Series platform find servicing and repairs straightforward, helping to reduce downtime and operational costs. Post-assembly, each engine undergoes rigorous dynamometer testing, guaranteeing reliable operation under realistic conditions. Engines are professionally painted, protecting against corrosion and ensuring they’re ready for immediate installation upon delivery.
The engine block is bored back to standard with new liners fitted. The cylinder head is remanufactured with valve seats re-cut and new valves fitted. The crankshaft is ground to precise tolerances.
All engines are rebuilt in our clean workshop with new pistons and rings, bearings, oil pump, water pump, and complete gasket set. Fuel injection equipment is remanufactured and turbochargers replaced where applicable.
Every engine is dynamometer tested to confirm correct power output, oil pressure, and operating temperatures. Engines are painted and prepared for delivery with full documentation.
