    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    Sure, assuming all your driving is at 70 mph, that is fine. Alas, this is rarely the case. Quite. That does indeed appear to be the case, hence many of the replies are laced with thinly veiled insults. No, not at all. I'm not always on the wrong side of the road, because I drive a...

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    Banter is fine. Being called a fcukwit or a golfer is fine. Even being called a tit (although I would generally consider banter to be stronger than that). But being called ignorant isn't banter, generally. Even on the interwebs. Anyway, I have made my point, some agree, some don't. Kumbaya...

    Discs and pads

    Gents, I have had a search, but little seems to come up about what discs / pads to get, and where to get them for the P38. The motor was "meant" to come with new discs and pads, but I think I'm being bumped on them. So rather than messing about trying to hassle them out the previous...

    Transmission oil service (4.0 Auto)

    Right, got the oil and filter kit through, just waiting on the pump and Lucas stuff now. Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up guys. Much appreciated.

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    Bonkers? I disagree. I don't see too many other "luxury" motors out there with less power behind them. The RR is meant to be a luxury product no? I don't see the luxury in having to wind my motor up to get past someone. I'm not 17 any more driving a 1L Fiesta. A tit? Well, to be fair, I...

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    Not at all. That is quite a presumption to make. I live in the countryside. There are a LOT of tractors kicking about this area (and caravans, and general Sunday drivers more interested in the views than the road). I don't particularly want to be sat at 35 mph for my entire journey because...

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    That'll teach me to read the internet. Sure I read it was 2780 Kg somewhere recently. Oh well. Still, my point remains that, for me at least, the petrol feels slow enough. To me. Which is mostly the reason I didn't even entertain the idea of a diesel. Even when looking at the early...

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    No, there is nothing pedestrian about the TDV8, that was my point, they have the same power as the 4.4 V8, so are quick enough. And is the reason I decided to get into another P38 just now while I save for one, rather than "settle" for an early 4.4 L322. I'm sure the 2.5 TDI, when chipped, is...

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    Really? I personally find 174 BHP in a near 3 ton truck to not be completely frustrating at times. I mean, sure, my 4.0 P38 is supposedly 182 BHP and it is pretty dire. My old 4.6 THOR was just about okay most of the time. I did drive a few L322's before deciding to wait a while and get...

    Transmission oil service (4.0 Auto)

    Well, that link was from the US, so was right expensive. But got some ordered in the UK anyway. Hopefully it will all arrive for the weekend and I can get to it. Had a look through the masses of paperwork that came with the motor, and there is no evidence of there having been an oil...

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    There is still 40 BHP between them. Not a huge amount, on a near 3 ton truck, granted, but still a good 30-40% increase in power. I doubt the 2.5 will keep up with the 4.0 to be honest.

    4.6 vs 2.5 tdi

    I personally would always go for the V8 in the Range Rover. Mostly because the V8 is slow enough. I cannot imagine how frustrating it must be in the tdi with such a small amount of power. Even the L322 diesels I drove were pitiful in this respect.

    Transmission oil service (4.0 Auto)

    Not one of those anywhere near me, and I fear the £5 delivery cost will ruin it. So might as well go for the better one linked by wammers. Not so bothered about getting so close to a complete change. I wasn't sure if I wanted to even go this far with the servicing, considering I only plan...

    Transmission oil service (4.0 Auto)

    So do the fluid change twice wammers? Hmmm. I might just be entirely too lazy for that. Don't mind doing it once, lol. Thanks for the link. I'll just get that then. I was going to have to buy the pump anyway, as don't have anything suitable, so was thinking this : Manual Hand Siphon Syphon...

    Transmission oil service (4.0 Auto)

    So, Going to do a gearbox oil service on my 2000 plate THOR engined 4.0 Auto. Conflicting reports on quantity required. I have read a few threads on here that seem to suggest 5L would be enough, however I have also read 9.7L is required. Any suggestions on which one is accurate? Was...
