1999 Defender 90 Td5 Heritage LE Bronze Green

Sounds intresting. Does it sound like a TD5? How can you spot a 5 cylinder Transit?

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Montalcino Red

I'm not sure what it sounds like but I like the sound of 200 bhp as standard lol
You won't spot many but they have the engine in some what they call jumbo van ?

I've been toying around with the idea of a Lexus v8 1uzfe. I hear they're quite cheap and pretty bulletproof.

I like the idea of the 5 cylinder, larger engine lower EGT's and off boost torque. Nearer to the 3.9 Isusu CKD kits assembled here.

2016 Defender 130 Puma 2.4 HCPU Stornoway Grey

I have a friend at Ricardo's who did the original engine work for Land Rover and also did all the ecu designs on the transit.

I remember him saying that Land Rover had to do quite a lot of modifications to the 2.4 from standard.

I seem to think he said a standard transit engine has a bunch of sensors in the engine that land rover had to remove as they sucked water in when submerged especially when the engine is hot.

Don't Land Rover make a fuss about oil scavenging in the 2.4 at extreme angles?

I personally would go the TDV6 because at least you know these same issues have been thought about for the D3.

Ok well surely all the switches and wiring are very similar so it wouldn't be hard to change these ?!?
