Many Thanks to William
 Click image to enlarge SEE CO2 emissions.... This confirm that is ONLY RELATED to the FORD cost reduction optimization for the PUMAs lines production, it will produce only the 2.2 (and the 3.2L 5 cyls???).

The compression will be interesting, at the moment to really slow it down in first low you have to turn the AC on and all the electronics... Jack Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Sorry to disagree with you Landie Boy but I have been down some serious slopes including a measured 42 deg test slope and there is no increase in speed. Its slower than my TD5.
I heard with the early puma models they did but it was apparently sorted out, but not sure. |

Yeah I knew what you meant, and no, you don't have to do that in a 90. Mine will creep down in low 1st at a pace that's barely moving. It's only the longer wheelbase versions which had that issue |

Good call from your friend. The problem is, the majority of Defender drivers these days don't use them in the conditions stated, and as a result are quite happy to have things as they are - electronics, ever decreasing small capacity engines and all that goes with them. Those who do, understand the sentiment and generally concur. |

I LOVE the defender.
But It would be awsome if the 4.2 HZ Engine from the 76 Cruiser can be fitted in the Puma. Best of both worlds! |

You'd think that as John Eales can fit a TDV6 into a Defender with either the Disco 3 manual box, or an auto, surely Land Rover would have tried to do it themselves again?
Let's be honest, those who buy Defenders either have them as cars, many choosing them over Yotas, Jeeps etc with similarly sized or larger lumps, or commercial users who always want more power etc.... I doubt very much many other considerations such as tax bracket, emissions etc come into it. You want one because it is what it is, or because it's the best for the job. Who would buy a Tdci powered defender if the TDV6 was available as an option? It wouldn't hurt for JLR to bring their engines all 'in house' either. 1982 Wife 1984 300 Tdi 110 H/T 'Recovery' Plus 4 kids and a dog.

I use mine for work everyday. Jap crap can't legally tow 3.5 tonne. All the farmers by me have at least one. I wouldn't mind more power but it's not the end of the world. I would be the other way disco as car and defender as the workhorse and off roader. I think many people buy jap stuff on price and the fact you only fit in a defender with the window open and steer with your knees.

I drive my Defender because it gets its job done. I don't care a penny what engine is in there. The 2.4 Puma does well and appears to be quite reliable. If a new 2.2 would do the same, who cares? I don't need a monster machine eating fuel and my money like hell.
