Hello Gang. As you will see below I know own a F Reg V8 110 CWS. Gave it a spin from Landrover Centre on M62 to Manchester and it was joy to have some power at last. Had fun getting there though. Fog Rain Trying keeping up with traffic a very slow 2 1/4, nearly getting lost in the process. But I digress Hooray anyway.

Ah ! but diesel is King :-))
I must admit to being a big fan of diesels. however my soon-to-buy disco will be a V8. accept no substiture.
Regards. Mark.
Well sorted V8, gas conversion, and shortly, a GKN at 28per cent. You'll be doing very well to justify a diesel engine to me, considering the price of diesel, and general 'deiselness':0) Unless you do a lot of deep wading? Ah, that V8 burble :0)

On or around Fri, 15 Apr 2005 20:49:38 +0100, Mark enlightened us thusly:
'tis a fact that competent though the 300 TDi disco is, I prefer mine with its 3.5 V8. If I could afford it, I'd have a 3.9.
Only joking I would love a V8 but they stopped making them when I got mine. Friend had a 1969 427 Corvette manual and you could hear him from a mile away when visiting !!
just swapped my 1980 3.6 litre straight six diesel landcruiser for a 2.6 6 cylinder petrol series 3. i love the landrover, but there is something about a big sitting on top of a big juicy diesel. just the sound they make it idle and low revs with a big load (they sound they make at 90kms with a 4 speed g'box is a little harder to like though). i will miss the big fella.
must say i love the sound of the tdi's and td5's aswell.
cheers.
Sam.
