Lets face it, anything would be better than some of the lumps LR have fobbed off on the public in the past!!!!! Got a feeling if this happened it would be with Isuzu engines, as these were fitted to the Aussie and (I think) South African spec vehicles, due to reliability and servicing issues in these countries.

Ford want rid of LR. They have had interest from Tata, some private equity companies, and others; Tata is, apparently, the preferred bidder.

Not a problem, just that we do have some LR owners on here, and in the past threads have bene locked to prevent things getting too personal (maybe).

Best engine i ever saw in SIII landy was a Naturally aspirated 6.4 litre diesel taken out of a Massey Ferguson combine. Went like stink, but was extremely heavy... One of the great things with the SIII, any engine will go in, all you need is the know how, I stuck a 2.5 litre turbo diesel engine in mine on a range rover box, lots of cutting about on the chassis, drive shafts etc, but double the mpg and went like rocket.. oh what fun.. wish I could afford another....
