Are you actually for real? Are you doing the work yourself (I'm doubting, as you simply wouldn't ask some of these questions if you were). What is your budget? £20k, £50k, £150k or more? Doing this will likely result in a non roadworthy vehicle in the UK and would need to go for an IVA. It...

Not to disagree, but Tornados own site says it is worth tuning..... "However the dominant characteristic is actually a huge hole in the torque curve, centred around 3000 RPM. This is filled in very well with the upgrade, delivering an extra 10-15 lb/ft of torque and much faster throttle...

Thanks. Sadly Horseshoe Lane has a Voluntary Restraint on it to drive it West to East. Think I'll have to plan to return at a quiet time and try it the other way round though. Bit of a lack of passing places if you meet anyone, so can see sense of the one way direction. That said, we were laning...

lol, cliff notes: When in neutral the vehicle does not move, putting it in gear and it works. :D

While laning this year we also did the famous/infamous "Bastard" lane, properly known as Horseshoe lane. It's another one of those lanes you see people driving badly on YouTube and making a complete hash of it. You can see it on the ground too, with some very odd routes taken on some obstacles...

Don't think a home amateur mechanic is going to easily or reliably measure cam wear tbh. And it won't tell you the state of the lifters. And even if in perfect condition, an aftermarket cam is going to offer more performance......

Where are you getting it ECU remapped?

Why post this same question on multiple forums at the same time. Do you not believe the answers from one forum and want to play them off against each other or something????

The bed floor is an aluminium alloy, so won't really rot due to water.....

So a Tdi is likely to return 24-28mpg real world. They can do better, but you'd really need to try. A V8 is going to use more fuel, more like 15-18mpg and up to maybe 20mpg on a run. Don't know how many weekend miles you'll do, but making a few assumptions 10-15 miles a day would seem to be...

How short a range? As in what sort of annual milage? If you aren't doing many miles, then a V8 may not cost all that much more to run. And would open up a lot of choice. I'd also say keep an eye out for the 2.5 VM ones. The VM unit is more powerful and drives better than the Tdi's.

A 7.50 x 16 should have a 7.50” side wall and 7.50” section width. In practice many will be a bit taller esp if a mud terrain.

There won't be any height difference just by going for a road tyre, unless you change size. Which is an option, but depends what size you have now. Smaller tyres will also impact gearing. It is all possible however. In terms of tyres... do you drive hard or fast? If no, then any quality tyre is...
