just a thought - if we can have the 2.4 transit engin in a defender, why cant we have the 3.2 that tranny van buyers can specify?

they should, the whole reason theres sod all tax on LPG is because it doesnt polute as much.. then again because you still have the facility to use petrol they probably wont.

Headlight conversions are a mess eh. Leave p38s as they are I say.

HGF is generally only on early engines... Im told no more common on facelifted hippos than on any other car? and apparantly 1.8 can be tuned to about 200hp if you've got the time and money cuz its the same engine used in lotuses back then. KV6 2.5L is a beast though... beast beast beast beast beast

theres loads in my 3 door.. I'll count them tomorow but im sure theres more vacant than in use.

The R380 wouldnt fit thats why they changed it I'm told. and if U look at the 07 defender the stick is further back is it not.. hence why its strait and not bent?

I put a link the other day to a 5L merc engine in a wrecked ML class. If you were good with a spanner that would make a good project.

Back on freelanders, I have a KV6 thus far no (serious) problems and its running in 10-50 degrees C, [Touch wood.] Im told you can tune 220 BHP out of the 1.8 K series, its the same lump fitted to lotuses and apparantly is very sound and a good tune base. Wouldnt sound like the KV6 of course...

But when he does contfront you, be courteous and shake his hand. Then wink at his girlfriend, because she knows shes dating a pussy.

Go to scorpion racing they do a roll cage that effectively replaces the hood sticks. Part number RBL987SSS.

I'd imagine its good because of its small size compared with the other traffic on ME roads.

Yea its the air con. TDi, Td5, TDCi they all have flat fronts if they dont have air con and sticky out fronts if they do.

Forgot to mention a new hazard in doha since the recent introduction of speed cameras is people who approach one at 90 in a 100 limit and then anchor on to 60 to pass through it, then accelerate away again like theres no tomorow.
