hi you may recall my posts a couple of weeks ago asking all sorts of advice - well i listened, read, looked, read some more, took test drives and looked some more. the important words were chassis, engine, chassis, transmission, chassis and just in case i forgot chassis. well i have put a...

i'm no expert but from what i have read the answer is YES see web sites for people like J J Fearn Intercoolers and Allard - they all promise improved performance from 'bigger' intercoolers etc. cheers

how on earth did you find a 110 300 for 3k? the cheapest i have seen is about 6-7K for a 200tdi just been for a walk round a local used dealer [they were closed] all it did was wet my appetite. i am thinking of looking at Reid near Horsham - any views on them or recommendations for finding...

Hi being new to this forum i am still trying to find my way around, apologies if this is a dumb question........ is there anywhere on this site where i can view some road tests or reviews on 90's with the TD, 200TDi or the 300TDi? i'm looking at buying a 90, probably with a 200 engine...

wow...masses of information thanks very much, i'll be taking my oldest LR Owner [sorry Freelander owning] son out a week tomorrow to have a look at a couple in a garage to get the feel of them for my self. apart from 3 or 4 very new Discovery's and RR's i have only driven a Series III...

ah...i take it you suggest a 200 only or if funds permit a newer engine [300 or TD5!!] funds are an issue, that means i will have to get a 200 engined 90/Defender. is there an easy way to tell the difference between a TDi and a 200TDi? what can you get for about £4k? i will need a CSW i...

Hi I am very seriously thinking of buying a 90TDi or a Defender [90] 200TDi for general fun and enjoyment but also on a slightly serious note and i would value you opinion. 2 questions: 1. what are the 90 TDi's like? Avoid like the plauge and get a 200TDi or are they just as good? 2. i am...

i am new to this forum but looking forward to meeting you all the virtual world of land rovers. i've driven most 4x4s over the years includiing Series III, Discovery's and a couple of P38's now i am in the market for my very own 90 or Defender more to follow on the Defender section...
