It depends... what do you want to do with such a vehicle? If it pose and nothing more arduous than a Tesco carpark then a lot less than if you want to off road it. I'm not against big wheels, but be aware they'll blunt performance, esp on something like a Tdi, reduce braking efficiency, induce...

Penny to a pound they rub....

That is the dilemma I'm afraid. Expensive luxury vehicles do normally depreciate. My p38 had a list price of £54k or so, way back in 1999. I paid £2300 for it 9 1/2 years ago. My Uncle has an L405 Range Rover TDV8, think he paid £29k a few years ago for it and that was over £120k new. Bentleys...

Have you driven or been in a Defender? They are nice vehicles, but a big step down in refinement and power from a V8 L322 as well as luxury. Defender prices are all over the show at the moment, although arguably dropped a bit. Although lots of silly handbag fashion accessory ones priced at...

Most "35 inch" tyres are less than 35". Not sure where your figures are from. But as an example... This is pretty standard, as 31.10.50 would be 30.5" tall, a 33.12.50 would be 32.5" tall. What is your intended use and do you use the step on the factory wheel rim to get in/out? Then it has...

Where and when was there a 2wd Freelander 1? I don't recall one for the UK market nor RoW.

That's not how it works. Well worth looking it up if you are buying a car, new or used. https://www.whatcar.com/news/your-legal-rights-if-something-goes-wrong-with-your-car/n3307 Some key take-aways highlighted. Land Rover never sold or produced a 2wd Freelander, therefore the seller would...

Yes, because it is the law in the UK... :)

Yes. If its for ULEZ, the 4.0 is ok, but I think there is an error for a 4.6 as the numbers are stupid high by comparison and can't have been correct. Either that or the 4.0 is wrong and way too low. I don't think anyone really cared about Nox back in the day, so it probably wasn't double checked.

There is no easy answer here. It really comes down to how much money you want to spend and what your actual goals are. Now I'm no camper expert or overlander. Although I do go camping and do go green laning. Price is obviously the biggest restriction. Do you have a budget? Tdi's are good...

That isn't the reason why the military stuck with the 300Tdi. Come on have you seen how complex a modern tank or any other army vehicle (or aircraft is)!! Being simple had no bearing on it. As I understand it, the Td5 passed all of the military testing bar the fact that it couldn't easily or...

A bit more work, but might be worth looking at a Td5 swap. But it will need some other changes, such as an R380 gearbox and a different input shaft on the transfer box. On the flip side lots of Td5 engines about and easier to get than a Tdi these days, you could also use a donor Disco 2 for many...

I think this depends. If you are building a concourse de elegance vehicle, I agree. Or if there is likely a large financial gain in terms of resale value. However, functionality and practicality are likely far more important for most people, most of the time. The old 2.5TD isn't a bad engine...

1987 would most likely have been a 19j 2.5TD, it could have been a 2.5NAD, but only special order or ex-mil. Or a V8. Therefore a 200Tdi would not have been the original engine. Technically it would also have been a One Ten rather than 110 and it will pre-date any Defender branding. A 2.5TD...

What vehicle is it in, any more details on age or gearbox. You say 200Tdi, but Phil says the kit is for an R380, the 200Tdi never had this. So an earlier Defender will be different, different gearbox and different seatbox, with the engine in a different location. Can't comment on the Izusu...

Hi Mike, not sure where you are seeing this. Suspect it is just a fault/bodge on some sites, as they only want to use one type of tyre sizing, e.g. Width/Profile/R/Rim These tyres should be 7.50 x 16 Meaning they are 7.5" wide, with what should be a 7.5" side wall on a 16" rim. This was once...

Nope, I won with my 200Tdi, the V8 Comper very close 2nd. Td5's are lovely. Two in this race, the blue Disco is modded, don't know to what extent. And the CCV vehicle furthest away has loads of mods and a turbo of an M57. The 200Tdi surprises quite a few people. :D Although drag racing like...

Driving like a dick with no mechanical sympathy will result in breaking stuff. :vb-poke-with-stick: But I daresay many of us have been there and done that. :) Many have pushed over 400hp through an LT230 for competition use. They are usually pretty strong. However you'd normally have them...

Maybe not, but people have been racing them for 60+ years!

How did you know they were the wrong bushes? We have the Celluar Dynamic shocks on 3 vehicles currently. They seem a very good shocks for the money.
