who knows? You're right though, that would seem to be good evidence, but all I'm saying is that until LR themselvse actually confirm it, anything else is pointless speculation. |

My dealer has already confirmed it - they are only taking orders for the 2.2 now as they have had their full allocation of 2.4 engines. John http://www.hampshire4x4response.co.uk 2011 Tdci 110 CSW XS |

Hi
I don't know much about engines, but can't find any improvement on this 2.2 engine. Are there any Everything remains the same ... apart from the cm3 drop. Not even the price will change around here, as the Co2 emissions are the same and the engine would have to be below 2.0 to have some tax/price reduction ... We will pay the same for less ...

this might be a dumb question but ...
why does LR have to get stuck with Ford engine ? Can't they get another engine supplier ? I know they can't but ...

They constructed the current Defender when Landrover was part of Ford Industries, so it was a natural choice to take something from the shelf of the mother. They built it on the Ford transmission and made the motor compartment compatible with Ford Transit. Any other engine will require major re-engineering and that is a cost factor - especially since the New Defender / Project Icon will have to show something near future. |

I can't confirm this atm as I am traveling. Is the euro5 Jan 2012 requirement for passinger vehicles not commercials?
This is why the 2.2 was dropped and LR re classified all Defenders to commercial from 11my. 130's have feeling's as well you know |

Euro 5 became mandatory for first registration of all new constructed passenger vehicles in September 2009. For existing vehicle constructions there was a graze period in the EU until January 2011. The EU regulations apply to all M1, M2, N1 and N2 vehicles, so passenger cars and all kind of light commercials. The same game will take place with Euro 6: mandatory for all new car constructions from September 2014 on, mandatory for all first registrations starting January 2015. The Defender was classified as commercial light utility to qualify for a special exempt from emission and pedestrian protection, which was only available to volume produced commercials (as in the corresponding catalogue the Ford Transit and the Defender are listed as one). The old 2.2 was dropped because it did not do well in the Defender. Now that Ford is stopping production of the 2.4 there was no other choice as to go the same way as the Ford Transit. |

Good point! Perhaps they've forgotten about the early 2.4 sumps (I have a nearly new one sat in my garage if anyone wants it) Steve. Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades. Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW.
