i am a landy virgin with very limited engine knowledge,i am interested in a 3.5 L V8 which is for sale,for somebody that wants to learn to understand and be able to work on my engine would this 'county station' be a case of biting off more than i can chew ?

no mate, the v8 is one of the easiest engines to work on, get yerself a good workshop manual and get a haynes as well, that should help

hi thebgt,
After reading,research etc i have decided that the 200tdi is for me,now just got to find a good one, i have no time restraints which helps,just got to stay patient.I am getting a lr cos i am moving up north,in cambridge where i am now,how ever hard i tried i could not justify getting one.If i held off my purchase do u think i could get more for my money up north or does that noorth/south thing not come into play with old lr's ?

If you want to learn about engines Buy a 200tdi that has failed an engine emmission test. This will give you a chance to tune and get the best out of your engine .while learning at the same time , SHOULD BE A LOT CHEAPER AS EMMISSION FAILURES SCARE OFF MOST PEOPLE. ------BB

wow,interesting/good idea ! Do u think i would have to wait long before one came up ? The thought of finally getting a landy and not being able to take it out, could be very frustrating ! Definately something to consider though.
Nice one.

i love my 200tdi. i had a disco be for my defender and they have both been superb. great fo rtowing and off road. trust me ( well don't actually!) but if you cant afford a V8 ( much sobbing.... pass tissues ) then the 200tdi is a good bet. better than the 300tdi. for some reason several mates have lost cam belts on theres!

why would a girly want tissues?? you could try asking grunt for some of his, just make sure you see him take them out the box
