    DISCO RACE - TDV6 v's 300 Series V8

    Run 100 shot and you will need a fresh engine. The RV8 engine needs extensive mods to run higher power its not that strong out of the box. Progressive controller I'd be more inclined to start at 15/25 jets then look in to 50s. If your RV8 is healthy its should be around 180hp throwing and...

    2001 td5 pressurising cooling system

    Mine did the same for months then it finally went taking what I think is a liner with it, I've still not taken the head off to inspect but am expecting serious expense. I'd get it done sooner rather than later in hindsight.

    DISCO RACE - TDV6 v's 300 Series V8

    My Td5 would beat my D1 V8 to 60 even though the figures suggest otherwise. D3 should have no trouble am afraid. Gaining simple power out of the V8 isn't easy either, swapping the cam from from a Sd1 Vitesse would give a small gain not as much as a good high lift cam but even though its not...

    Possible vehicle swap, can we post?

    Depends how you look at it, he may have a classic Rover or even a modern one that is worth more than a ropey Disco as there is plenty of Discos dropping under 1k now.

    why didnt i switch over to landys ages ago!

    Been a loyal fan of both for a long time. Worked my way up the food chain in quick cars to end up with the MR2 Turbo and Dimma 205, althou being given 2 Discoverys meant something had to give so the MR2 has been moved on and I get my kicks playing in mud or abusing other peoples cars on track...

    How much MPG do you get?

    Over a 5 year period with my td5 the consumption has averaged 28 hitting 31 once on a long trip from Lincoln to Somerset, I will admit that is a massive difference over my V8 that was doing 15mpg but now has bigger tyres and lift and returns an impressive 11mpg (this is all worked out on LPG and...
