As has been said, very much depends what your specific use will be. How many people or how much gear will you be carrying? Will you be sleeping in the vehicle, on the vehicle or something else? Do you need to carry all your water and electrical things? What sort of distances and terrain? Will...

Price for what country? Might be worth asking Land Rover if they can help.

Excessive smoke, at least for road use. But you do get more power. Anyone who says you don't gain with smoke has not done an testing. All you have to do is look at diesels in motorsport where they aren't regulated to not smoke. e.g. At this level and cost point, these people know what they are...

Spacers really are not an issue, the hub and tyre have no clue if you have spacers or different offset rims, the effect is the same. Stock wheels will rub unless you wind the steering stops to reduce lock, hence why all stock Defenders have terrible turning circles. Alloys are 7" wide vs 6.5"...

You’ll still have quite a big sidewall with 18” if you go for the right size tyre tbh. Should be 5-6” of sidewall.

You'll need to watch the pinion angle on the front prop with the new arms, while the arms help solve the caster of the front wheels, they make the pinion angle worse and more likely to produce vibration and binding. Ultimately it depends what you are wanting to achieve with the suspension and...

What are you wanting to learn? The FL2 is surprisingly capable due to the traction control system, it can make all its wheel spin, where many other vehicles may end up with drive to only 2 wheels under some circumstances. However, the FL2 like the original Freelander lacks a low range transfer...

Don't go for a light interior, get yourself some rubber mats and a load mat, plus maybe some seat covers. But a luxury interior will always be more vulnerable feeling. I have a p38 Range Rover with a nice interior. And fairly tidy outside. It is worth way less than the Ninety, but somehow feels...

We only get the Prado in the UK. At least for the past 20 years. The old model stopped last year has to be about the fugliest car ever built. Truly dreadful looking. Also plastic fantastic inside too. Not saying they aren't ok vehicles. But man do they look boring and ugly. Would never be a...

Depends what you want. Nothing wrong with an L405, although IMO the modern RR's (well all modern Land Rovers) just feel and drive like tall & heavy estate cars. But that seems to be what the market asked for. Personally I prefer 4x4s to feel and drive like... well a 4x4. L405 is bigger than an...

If body roll is bad, an anti-roll bar might suit better in addressing this issue. There are a few air shocks about: https://gabriel.com/HiJackers I've read up on them and reviews seem mixed, some people seem to find them fail quickly, others are happy.

That is a vain way to justify it. Many of us go to the effort of ensuring our vehicles are not illegal. In this case, wider wheel arches or even attaching some rubber to extend the factory ones is cheap and easy to do. Its just laziness not to do it. And gives the entire 4x4 scene a bad rap.

doesn't mean it isn't illegal....

Yes ,spacers or wider offset rims would work.

The 1.6 is very short gearing and a Tdi doesn't rev very much. I'd need to check for certain, but I'm reasonably sure a factory 130 with a Tdi would have had a 1.4 transfer box, but this would have been the tall gear-set LT-77 with the 200Tdi or the same gearing with an R380 and a 300Tdi. I'm...

Which LT-77? If it is an earlier one with the shorter gearing. Just swap in a 1.2 transfer box. It'll give you similar gearing to the latter LT-77/R380 with the 1.4 transfer box. It'll be way cheaper than an over drive.

A lot of it will come down to how you drive tbh. The old Series LT-76 has a very low torque rating, yet loads of people have used Rover V8's and Tdi's with them. The R380 is rated at 380nm, about 260ft lb. Land Rover didn't fit these to the 4.6 RV8 as the 4.6 was over the torque rating. But...

Speed can most certainly be felt. Looking further 0-60mph is 8.4 vs 8.7, so pretty close. However, 0-62mph is 8.9 vs 9.5 sec Only 2 mph more, but the diesel has dropped by double the amount of time. And interestingly the 3.2 has had to do a gearchange to get to 62mph, as the brouchure says...

You are missing the point of the question. The op asked specifically about the 3.2 which they have now vs an SD4 they are considering. And how the performance would vary....
