Ineos Grenadier.
Thought it was ‘Projekt Grenadier’ ? Due to it mostly being Kraut.
It's only a BMW engine.
Not to mention LR fitted a few BMW engines in their time.
True. The ford contract for puma engine supply ended int 2017. LR have now come up with their own design of petrol and diesels which all use the half litre cylinder size design. In house supply will reduse costs if they make enough of each. They fit them to lr and jag. My FL2 has a pug engine with lr mods. FL1's were rover and one bmw.
It's common enough, companies sharing engines, Hyundai, Suzuki and Kia share engines. Vauxhall, Fiat, Peogeot share engines. Loads of vehicles use GM engines.
Not much of a help if your in the middle of the African Bush.
Plugging in to fault reader did not help. Main stealer robbed me and did not fix it. In the end I found the problem when I thwacked the dash in temper and it came back to life. Binical sent to specialist repairer who sorted it. That is why I don't like ecu's on everything
Really? Have you spent much time in the African Bush? At least 4 African army's use them, the British army, park rangers, anti poaching police, tour guides, safari groups. Probably nearly as many LRs in Africa as in Britain.
By and large no. That is why there are so many people on many forums and FB from Africa trying to buy 200 and 300tdis. For many Africans a modern garage could be hundreds if not thousands of miles away.
What? In the Bush, where there isn't even clean water and electricity? That's amazing. Let's face it, the new Defender is designed entirely for middle class people from predominantly industrialised and technologically plugged in nations. Not for people who in the middle of nowhere, who are actually going to use and abuse it. And that's fine, as an SUV to compete with the BMW X5, Merc G Wagon, Volvo XC40, Porsche Cayenne and Jaguar X Pace, it will do very very well. As a vehicle that working people are going to throw bricks into the back of, or other such things that will probably damage it, I really can't see it. I can't even see this ever being taken off road, except by rich playboys who could just buy another one on their gold card. In that respect, as yet another SUV, it will sell well.
Eye have had 15 years of peeps telling me ma hippo's not a propper 4x4. It can't go oft road. Its got no ground clearance. Its all b*llocks which eye ignore when taking it oft road and towing out stuck vehicles.
