what was land rovers best engine
Bush Tucker Man:
I liked my 300 Tdi (in a 'L' plated 110 Hard-Top) It was a wonderful engine, very eager & reliable, mid-30's MPG on long runs
The 3.5 V8 ('E' plated CSW, genuine factory V8. SU carbs &, allegedly, 134BHP) was a great machine for scaring the local boy-racers, if drinking like Oliver Reed whilst doing it.
I do like my current TD5, as it's smooth, eager, economical, revvy (if required). it's only really let down on day-to-day running by its bio-incompatibility, & the positioning of the ECU.
The one I miss not trying was the GMC diesel V8 in a 110
Kaneda:
Where is the 4.2SC JAG V8, the 4.4 BMW V8, the 4.4 JAG V8, the 4.2 ROVER V8, the 3.9 ROVER V8, the 4.0 ROVER V8 and 4.6 ROVER V8.
Oh and the TDV8.
Pah! How incomplete is this list. You can't lump all the V8's together as they have been made by at least 3 different companies. BMW, JAG and ROVER (and of course Buick, but we'll stick to the stamped makers!)

no it wasn't! :evil: the td5 was designed by landrover specifically to go in the disco2 they originally wanted a TD6(range stormer engine) to go in there but there was not enough room, this is why there are individual injector pumps on top of the engine, so they could fit it all in. landrover designed it then when bmw took over they put it into production as they didn't have a 5cl diesel but they had a 4 and 6 the TD4 is bmw the TD6 is bmw the TD5 is landrover HA! :scold:
Kaneda:
Seems there is much confusion about the Tempest engine. It is a Land Rover engine. BMW bought LR partway through the development.
mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
right more engines being entered
one thing jag 4.4 v8 in the new discos is that right :-k
thought the 4.4 v8 producing 282 bhp had been tuned to produce 305 bhp now but still a bmw engine was the same one
