it just went bang

The VM was a good motor. LR only binned it as it was not a LR product.
Used in the jeeps these days.

a rumour about cylinder heads but at least if one goes ou can drive home on 3.

a 200/300 with a few tweaks is more than enough to spin those boggers up.

Why spend out on a new intercooler when ther are plenty of bigguns available in scrappies ?

very tweakable on limited funds and plentifull spares.

The gmc is only really suitable for 3 speed box as blows manuals and half shafts
the 2.8 izusu lumps are good. a mate had one on a 4 speed auto . not a big top end but ideal for your uses .

Dont know about the iveco lumps. a mate had a 6 pot lump out of a truck in his but VERy tight fit

how do bud

well i have a new motor in my truck now !!

i got fed up of looking at different motors and trying to decide what was best

i was offered a 200tdi disco with a auto box cheep and would have been stupid to say no !
 spent 2 days stripping out the old motor and box and stripping /fitting the 200 and auto box , job done

iv tweeked the pump and have fitted my 1.6 tbox and im realy happy with it , it pulls well and is at last fairly nice to drive

it goes better than i expected to , i keep leaving justin behind  in his 90 now so all good  :lol:

cheers bud
sorted for 5 mins anyway !!!
hope this lasts a bit longer than the last motor
the best thing is the auto box , makes the truck so much nicer
off road the auto box is the only way to go , never goin back to manual again
