landrover 110, the better engine

<< < (5/5)

I felt quite the reverse was true; my old 110 (300Tdi Hard-Top) wasn't as flexible at low revs as my present Td5.
Plus the Td5 seems to have the advantage at motorway speeds (even though I only potter along at 50MPH)

William:
50! jesus lol ido tht in 4th in my NA !

JD LWB:
Revving the nadgers off it I should think at that! :D

bonio73:
<Edit> the fuel economy - it's got to be a V8.  This coming from the biggest Greenie in West Devon!!!!

Apologies, but (and the wife agrees!) there is nothing like a V8 to get the juices flowing!!!

On a budget...200Tdi
Larger budget...chipped Td5

I have a 200Tdi 110 that will sit on the motorway at 80.  Ok I have tinkered with it a bit but it still passes the MOT.  However it has never let me down.  It's been to Iceland (5 weeks) & it's off to Norway in July.
Not the most refined beast but i know it works everytime.

I also owned a Td5 90HT that had a plug in chip, egr removed & straight through mid pipe.  The 90 would out pull all boyracers & always put a smile on my face driving it.  Cost more to service & if you need new injectors take out a second mortgage.
