Hello,
i have a 2.5n/a ex military fitted for radio 110 which we are in the middle of making more comfortable for long journeys abroad. I really want to keep the landrover simple as possible, but for the life of me i cant see me keeping the present engine, as over any incline it is not good at all. I have had the engine looked at for "tweaks" mentioned on here and its set up perfectly.
Having looked at 200tdi implant, that choice would mean an upgrade to the gearbox(possibly transfer box) because of the low gearing for military vehicles like mine. Add up the above changes, and add pas to the equation and your looking at a pretty penny.
The other choice is a straight forward drop in of a 19j, as i am not after uber power....just the ability to go up slight inclines without going down the gears. Not wishing to upset 19j owners, but i keep getting told that the 19j is prone to all sorts of nasties and that after 100,000 miles its ready for the bin etc.
Is a 19j implant a real choice, or am i just barking up the wrong tree ?
Steve.
