im guessing ya parents bought it for you mate, as you dont rearlly no what u got. its a series 3 not a saxo get that out of your head. its not designed for motorway driving. its designed for offroading, pulling trailers and lumping tools from place to place and enjoying. ya probly thinking old fart reading this, im 17 younger than u,
you could turbo it is it worth it, no. not much gain, why not do a engine swap, say get a 200tdi and take off the turbo, cus thats 2 powerfull for that box by the sounds of the way u drive, and then give me the overdrive

The only way yu will do 80 in a 2.25 Series is on the back of a tow truck being taken to the morgue

It's a fact that a series will teach you all the driving skills you don't have to practice so much in modern cars..like anticipatory braking etc! Bear in mind that slow as it is, a Land Rover is favourite vehicle of some remarkable people...Bryan Adams, Richard Hammond and many more!
thanks for the help and come to one conclusion its going to have to be just a toy for offroading days and greenlaning as i work 30miles from home and its just not fast enough will buy myself another saxo and keep this for playing.
also how does the overdrive work ?
and the rear door is drop down at the moment could it be an easy swap ? the canvas roof and frame is now off and my landrover 90 hardtop is on just woundering about the door the canvas top may end up on here forsale next week just want it to be something i can have fun with now it has disco steel 16inch rims and just looking for some good tyres ie (90% offroad) cheers for help
