Hello Gang.
As you will see below I know own a F Reg V8 110 CWS.
Gave it a spin from Landrover Centre on M62 to Manchester and
it was joy to have some power at last. Had fun getting there though.
Fog Rain Trying keeping up with traffic a very slow 2 1/4, nearly
getting lost in the process. But I digress Hooray anyway.

Well sorted V8, gas conversion, and shortly, a GKN at 28per cent. You'll
be doing very well to justify a diesel engine to me, considering the price
of diesel, and general 'deiselness':0) Unless you do a lot of deep wading?
Ah, that V8 burble :0)

'tis a fact that competent though the 300 TDi disco is, I prefer mine with
its 3.5 V8. If I could afford it, I'd have a 3.9.

Only joking I would love a V8 but they stopped making them when I got mine.
Friend had a 1969 427 Corvette manual and you could hear him from a mile
away when visiting !!

just swapped my 1980 3.6 litre straight six diesel landcruiser for a 2.6 6
cylinder petrol series 3. i love the landrover, but there is something about
a big sitting on top of a big juicy diesel. just the sound they make it idle
and low revs with a big load (they sound they make at 90kms with a 4 speed
g'box is a little harder to like though). i will miss the big fella.

must say i love the sound of the tdi's and td5's aswell.

cheers.

Sam.
