Looking at a possible swap for my disco. a Rangie classic with a VM Diesel - Rare. Guy doesn't want to butcher a rare truck but wants to off road.

Do a part number search via us and get uprated head and rebuild it should be good for another 100k at least only has 86k on the clock been used as a gun shuttle paints gone on it but underneath is as clean as my disco's so I'm happy with that!

If it's as solid as the lad says it is I was thinking of restoring it. Just add a 2" lift and snorkel keep to reversible mods only!

True but would de-value the motor hoping it will be a future classic!
Yeah I would prob try and find one or two of the other VM's and kill them to make mine have a higher value
