Sorry, I didn't show my sarcasm there. By wrong I simply meant it wasn't a proper land rover engine, as in a TDI or td5, not that it had been shoehorned in by a back street garage. Hope that clears things up.

I asked jeeves - 3.2 litre ford puma - came up with quite a few well known names who have been fitting them to defenders. Can also be mapped etc to make lots more horse power.

Same as the TD5 really, only 122bhp from a 2.5 litre turbo diesel.
I guess it's a balance, l bet that 3.2 Puma goes well in a larger vehicle even with "only" 180bhp

If you mean the trailing arms I think it's his rocksliders giving the impression that it has cranked rear arms

Yes, but in defence of the td5, it's a nearly 20 year old engine.

The max power and torque will be delivered much lower down the rev range than the Honda engine, sometimes there's no substitute for capacity when you're looking for low end grunt.
