Who's trying to do that?

Thank you. I'll look in to this. Does the chassis on frame have much scope for improvement, if indeed that's part of the issue?

Better ways to waste money, such as? Where did I suggest I wanted to turn it in to a sports car? I think perhaps you have me mistaken for someone who doesn't turn dreams in to reality.

14 reg. 90k miles. Of course it'll be a bit slacker than it used to be however I recall this feeling from day one at 20k miles when I bought it. As with all my vehicles - some of which at the extreme opposite of this in performance - I like to investigate and upgrade the elements that I don't...

You seem to have taken issue with this idea too. I find your input unhelpful and not in the spirit of things. With 26,000 posts there's perhaps not better things to do.

you’re just looking for a rise aren’t you. what’s you issue with me looking to improve, in my opinion, my vehicle to better suit my needs?

Found them, thanks.

Isn’t everything until you do it..

I’d like to put a SVR engine in to my Discovery 4. I won’t be attempting this myself so I’d appreciate if the forum can advise who to contact to discuss. Cheers.

Thanks lads for the suggestions so far. Haven't had the chance to fix anything et however I do have a few more observations: Pulling a trailer today at around 1500kg Seemed to be going fine til just before turning in home - we live up a long hill - where the motor started to heat up...

If the water pump had failed would the problem not be consistent?

Lads My father and I bought a P38 2.5DSE (97-98) today and she seems to run sweet as a nut except there appears to be an intermittent fault. When driving up a fairly steep road it seemed to lose power all of a sudden to the point where we were in first gear (should be a 4th gear hill) and...
