Like has been said, it depends what for. For posing about on the road or if you've the money to use garages to buy new electronic bits then I guess the bigger and newer engines are better - for ease of repair when breaking down in the middle of nowhere then the simpler older diesels with minimal electrics (my mates Disco managed to disable the engine AND lock him out when the alarm chip fried itself.. another reason I like older vehicles without fancy electronics). I remember my old 2.25 diesel harness went on fire (original cloth covered wiring). I switched all the electrics off and drove home! Even my 1984 model won't do that- so if I'd been in the middle of a forest (quite a regular thing for me), I'd have preffered that old underpowered thing to even the quickest most poweful engine in those circumstances. If all is always going to work and not break down then 300TDI ... but when the sh** hits the fan give me as simple an engine as possible.

Fook ME look at the torque on THAT!

Mind you... I still reckon a 5.9litre Cummins B6 would be a better bet for the money

my friend has a perkins diesel in his series 2a 109.
think its near 4 litres and was taken from a massey ferguson tractor.
has a rediculous amount of torque, and is so damned noisy, and un surprisingly it sounds like a tractor

The other half of one of my missus work colleagues has a v8 denzel lump in his series. He can't use the available torque off road for fear of ripping his drivetrain to bits.
