HDAV Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) how many bhp is the new engine ? nice motor by the way According to an article i read on the web same power and torque as the older larger unit http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/lr/about-land-rover/land-rover-news/new-diesel-engine-powers-the-cleanest-ever-defender-for-2012/ The new EU5 2.2-litre diesel engine replaces the EU4 2.4-litre diesel while matching it for power, torque and fuel consumption. A new, full acoustic engine cover replaces the previous splash cover, reducing radiated engine noise and improving driving refinement. Meeting EU5 regulations, the engine delivers lower levels of the regulated emissions, NOx, CO and HC thanks to an improved combustion system and sophisticated engine management system. In EU5 markets, particulate matter has been reduced to EU5 levels with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). ... lower emmisions (still quite high) at 295g/km for the 110! First year rates - cars registered on or after 1 April 2010 (based on fuel type and CO2 emissions) M Over 255 £1,000.00 (12 months tax) Not available (6 months Tax) Edited March 17, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Its what we call rain down here I take it we are all talking about the rust red stain at block height at the front of the engine. If that's rain staining it must be bloody corrosive rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Some funny comments from the rice burner drivers here. Well done Doc, she looks wonderful and will surely still be worth a good few quid long after all those nissans, mitsi's, suzuki's, toyota's & isuzu's have been recycled into something infinitely less likely to depreciate like a bean can or a pickle fork. My own 300 tdi celebrates its 15th birthday this year and hasn't broken down once nor missed a days service in all those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the idea, Only insured for 4000 miles a year, only for shooting and fishing, I plan on keeping her for at least 15 years, or the end of my shooting days.

lurcherboy Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 This Transit engine has many fuel related problems as well as a above average rate of turbo failure. Land rover would have been better of fitted any VAG 2.0TDI engine, or even a Renault diesel! LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you know that all young girls wet their knickers some times . Sour grapes is another thing that would cause corrosion . Harnser .
