2.2 when will landrover learn that a decent size engine is a major requirement for a lot of users eg as in Patrols and cruisers. About the only time they got it right was with the stage 1 V8 ( and into the 110) . Why not go with the american idea of a V8 diesel that goes onto 4cyl in the cruise ? JMHO
I think the problem is conforming to emissions standards. That's what forces many car manufactures to replace/update their engine offerings. If it wasn't for that, the same engines would be used in new cars for much longer.
I am surprised ABS won't be offered as standard. I'm sure I read somewhere a while back that ABS is a legal requirement for all new cars sold in Europe?
