Just looked at a Range rover with a Daihatsu turbo diesel conversion -
owners not sure on the cc, recons it might be a 2.8ltr.
The only identifying plate says 'DL - 50' on the side of the rocker cover?

What do you think?

Thanks in advance

Daihatsus coms in 2.5 and 2.8 flavours, turbo or non-turbo on the latter
definitely. The non-turbo one is good in a 90, not sure what it'd be like
in a RR.

aha:

seems to imply that a DL-50 is a 2.8 non-turbo.

72 ponies, doesn't sound that powerful for a rangie.

Same block markings on the turbo ones. The early DL turbo was 115HP at
3400RPM, the later ones a fraction more.

IIRC one has a red top and one black. One of these has a timing belt while
the other has something else. All very vague and clouded in the mist of time
as far as I am concerned.

Defiantly got a turbo bolted on the side - so it's looking like a
2.8............

The above site suggests the turbo ones are DL-51 and DL-52, but that might
only be a difference on paper. Mind you, inspection should reveal the
presence or absence of a turbo and/or intercooler.
