For offroad use i totally disagree, technique is more important than power (a series landrover will climb over 45degrees on the 2.25 engine)

For on road then a bit of tuning is worth while

depends on what kind of offroading you do, like someon above said, you cant clime out of steep holes, the 2.25's just run out of power, if you havnt got a run up your knackered.
if your trundleing around green lanes, no probs, but thats not what i call offroading.



the 2.25 i was with didnt have the power to climb this bank.
i agree i 1st gear low range has an exectional amount of pulling power due to the low ratio, but for slipery banks when 2nd or even 3rd low is required theres not enough horses. dont get me wrong, 2,25's have been offroading for decades, and with out a doubt technique is essential, but in my opinion, good driving techniques and a bit more grunt makes a better offroader.

SHERMAN TANK:
Glad you asked Ben, i was in the process of looking for a new engine, but may just keep my petrol one.

One quick question, i seen a series 3 with a 200tdi engine in, is that a difficult job? will it require another chassis or extra engine mounts ?.etc. etc.

Have a read of this:

It's a 200Di conversion, 200Tdi without the turbo...

Hi, Thanks For All Your Reply's I Would Love To Put A TDI Into My Series But It Seems Alot Of Work And I Wouldn't Know Where To Start, Guess I Will Keep The 2.25 For Now.  Ben
