One is LHD the other RHDLHD thing? Can't see there being any more room on a LHD it's in the middle? Extra to satisfy the French disposition?
P38A GEMS 4.6 lpg or DSE for long trips?

Strange? Maybe BMW did away with them after taking over since it's a diesel thing generally?

The dampers are fitted to both front and rear of petrol models but only to rear of diesels.They cannot be fitted to front of diesels, the sump is in the way.

Odd. Maybe a modification by a previous owner?

I'm saying thats what they should of done..
140hp and 389nm of the 6 pot VM vs 134hp and 270nm M51 the VM is a straight winner. IMO
They initially were going to use a "stretched" L series diesel but it lost on the grounds of refinement.

Not surprised, the BMW lump is great for its time but still noticeably agricultural.

A damper indeed but not the ones being referred to. The axle whip dampers bolt to the diffs.They are fitted front and rear on petrols but only to the rear on diesels. They cannot be fitted to the front diff on diesels because the sump is in the way.

The damper posted by Keith is the transfer box damper.

Transfer box? It's on the side of the engine/bell housing just by the starter.

It is the transfer box damper or that is what Land rover recon, but what do they know.

Not arguing with that, but it's bloody long way away from the transfer box.It is the transfer box damper or that is what Land rover recon, but what do they know.

Yep it is indeed. But that's what it's for apparently. Never seen one fitted they must have been on 1999 and on. There is another one with last two digits of part number 60 instead of 50, that is for the L322.

I agree with you all. I presumed V8 had same as back (Bagshot/my photos) as on front but have never seen one of those. Mine is manual but also don't have one of them?
Curious?
