Re: Engine swaps

Go and have a look on AULRO. Also look up tombie and what he can do for a td5 , intercooler, ecu flash, egr block etc and they can get close to 200kw :shock: from a 2.5 diesel.

Re: Roll cages now illegle in Vic.

Now why cant our competitive motoring and govt. law-makers wake up and have a look overseas. Go to any pommy landrover site and have a look at what is made and legal for defenders.

Re: Disco 2 TD5 vs Defender TD5

I have a 02 def, 110 td5 and would recomend it. You can fit 255/85 r16 (33.4in) without cutting the sides, and it might only touch the top of the rear spring mount at full articulation with dislocation set up suspension. If your towing try and get one like mine or earlier with thesalisbury reardif ...
