Errm there is no such things as an 80's & 90's engine.  :roll:
You have not included the 2.25NAD, 2.5NAD, 2.5TD, 200tdi, 300ti, Td5,tdv6 1.8petrol td4 etc.....
Also grouping the V8's is a bit like saying the 2.5NAD is as good as the Td5,   [-X

That diesel V8 that never went into production would have been rather good - the Disco 1 would have been a bit of a rocketship with a tweaked, turboed one of those under the bonnet!

would say the v8 but is really a buick engine, so iff its a landy engine i'd say the 200 tdi . (could also say the 300 tdi but the 200 came first and the 300 was re designed off it ) ......

what happened to all the mpi discos?

They were a bit like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. They were there all nice and strong, with their quirky ways, but eventually just faded away, leaving nothing but a faint smile. Sort of, if you see where I'm coming from. I know what I mean.
