Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have to agree, i had some problems with my old sd33 pump and to get them apart is a real pig of a job. Save urself some trouble and get a diesel monkey to do it for ya.

cheers

Just picked up my newest toy on friday, and am thouroughly pleased with it. Is there any cheap mods I can do to over come the little amount of turbo lag? maybe a straight through exhaut or something?? and if so how big in diameter does it have to be??

cheers

Can anyone give me a rough estimate on what the fuel consumption is in the 1998 2.8L turbo diesel patrol, im hopefully picking one up 2morrow if it wont cost me big $$ to run it.

Many thanx for your help

Cheers

not worried about that I used to own an 84 patrol with 35 tyres that had no turning circle :-) I like driving large 4bys (its the only way) as for any major engine probles to look for theres nothing really to worry about?

the patrol i was looking at was a 2001 model and it seemed to pull ok and it wasnt blowing any smoke, however i would probably not be towing any thing with it maybe a boat once in a while. What makes them bad for driving around town? Is there any difference in models (aside from the shape)? Forgot ...

What are the 2.8 turbo diesels like, are they relible?
Is there anything to look for when buying one?
If anyone has one can they give me any pointers.

Any advice would be fantastic

Cheers

Does anyone own a Land rover discovery turbo diesel, and if so what are they like as i am thinking of buying 1 second hand. Any tips on what to look for in engine and gear box/costly repairs would be greatly appreciated.
