    If you say so. We seem to have got ourselves into a debate about the pros and cons of turbos. I know it is a subject dear to the heart of many people, but I don't have the intelligence to do the subject justice, sorry.

    Hi, I uploaded a video to YouTube this morning. To view it, go to YouTube then search for TEGRAROTOR. The video is pretty self-explanatory, but the following comments might be relevant. We all personalise our Land Rovers to our own satisfaction. I am not fussed about speed or power. I am...
