Lots more power, quieter, more refined but thirsty.

more unreliable, more expensive to repair, harder to repair
Best way to describe it
Land Rovers are meant to be simple and easy to fix
200tdi and 300tdi are the best engines

How does a harrier jump jet compare to a spitfire?
They are both great in their time but what aspect do you want to compare it in? reliability, performance, ease of maintenance, economy etc etc?

Can I line feed it to my air intake or do I have to keep stopping to add it?

That is the down side you does have to stop to add it

If I run my snorkel into my cab I could just take the mushroom top off it and then shovel some in as and when needed.

Party poppers? Is that to celebrate after driving through a puddle without the doors falling off?

I currently have a 2.4 lump and I have to say apart from sounding exactly the same as a transit van i think its brilliant. I travel motorway miles in the day and its averageing 29.75 mpg according to my phone app. thats travelling at 65-70 mph all the way with 265/75 BFG ATs on, plus it barely even drops when towing. I took a my caravan on a 120 mile round trip, and still got nearly 300 miles to 65 quid full tank ( usually get about 340 normal driving)
Power its brilliant, will knock spots off a TD5 (that I used to own) and thats in standard tune, my TD5 had been tuned a bit. overtaking is much quicker and safer, and if you really want to be a boy racer, it will embarrass most cars off the line! surpises people!
Reliability- no issues yet, although I think the EGR could give a problem in the near future, but by then itll be close to the end of warranty and it will be ditched in favour of a blanking plate anyway, more trouble than theyre worth!
Anti stall feature is probably the best bit, makes pulling off with a heavy trailer effortless and hill starts simple, dont even need the handbrake any more (which is good because theyve moved it a bit to move the transfer lever and its a bit of a pain to get to now anyway!)
Although I do agree with the maintenance side, i dont fancy working on this engine for a good while yet, it doesnt look anywhere near as simple as my 200tdi is, but such is the times!

As far as I'm aware, you cannot fully blank the egr valve on the puma engine as although the engine runs much smoother with it fully blanked off it brings up the management light. By fitting a blanking plate and then drilling a hole in the middle (13mm I think the hole needs to be) it allows enough air through to keep the management light out and is pretty much the best compromise that you can get.
