But the auto still runs nice, i will still out accelerate a chav in the auto :D thats about as much fun as i get these days, could be why me gearbox is knackered! lol

SebastianW:
haha, great. well as long as I can at least keep up with everyone else my age, in their traditional mini's and peugoet 106's then I'm happy.
I certainly get some odd remarks from some people when I tell them my first vehicle will be a land rover  :roll:

BHP will be well down from 185bhp with V8 and 115ish from Tdi but diesels has bags of torque. The biggest problem I had with the V8 was fuel consumption followed by difficulty water proofing all the electrics.

185bhp sounds nice, but what's the torque rating from the two? do you know?

185bhp is for the high compression engines when they are new though. You will not get that from a worn engine. Not sure of torque comparisons, but I'm sure smebody will be along soon with the figures

SebastianW:
I remember reading somewhere about a company (can't remember its name) that refurbishes and possibly makes new engine blocks.
Do you, or anyone reading this, possibly know what I'm on about. And would it be cost affective to do that in order to get the lost power back in the engine?
