Hi folks,
Took the tired old 3.5 v8 out of my 88 range rover classic. Question now is, do I drop in another v8 or go for the 200 or 300tdi with autobox? My old v8 was set up to run on lpg and though the stuff is relatively cheap and so easy on the wallet, a couple of friends running tdi's tell me that with the mad traffic involved in urban driving (which is what I mostly do), they spend less on diesel a week than I do on lpg. Best I've ever done is about 60km of run-arounds on 14 liters of lpg. Has anyone out there converted their RR classic to the tdi engines and what are the performance and fuel consumption figures? The v8 never broke any land speed records, but can the tdi's hold up against the other diesel powered SUV's on the highway?
