anyone ever tried putting a D2 body on a D1 chassis
I was pondering with that idea the other night, think a guy in south america who uses this forum did a 200tdi in a td5 but kept chassis

Don't think it fits, looked it up earlier, in their wisdom lr changed most things with the d2 but kept it looking almost identical

I stand corrected, apparently you can put a Nissan v6 diesel in a d2, thought if I was to change chassis why not go the whole hog....??

hmm td5 is a nice engine, if your gonna keep it why not get a galv chassis put on? A friend with a 300tdi defender had it done when theres was shot but they live near the sea

I love the v8, running costs are a concern but carrying 3 tonnes we got 21mpg at times. (Downhill with wind behind us!) can't get LPG outside of civilisation though, apart from USA haha get it

21mpg doesn't sound that bad to me , i average 11 outta mine mu friends td5 averages 23 but derv costs more
