Engine Options
With diesels now being red headed step child, what is the consensus for petrol options ?

Personally I have a hankering for the 5.0 Litre supercharged LR-V8 550 hp from the RRS in a crew cab pickup variant with rear PTO.

Many premium manufacturers - including BMW and Mercedes-Benz - are shifting to a modular engine strategy, common to which is the 500cc-per-cylinder optimum capacity.

But it’s telling that Jaguar is following in the footsteps of BMW

Hmm, the TD5 was supposed to be the first in family of four, five and six cylinder engines with, by chance, 500cc per cylinder... Darren

A nice basic (like that's ever going to happen) petrol engine that can run on anything coupled to a generator.
Everything then electric driven with a nice big battery pack that can also power my fridge.
