What is the best or most reliable engine for the above years 1983 / 1996.?
 
terrano t2


simples

ok so how would I know.. im hopeless.. no comments please
 
2.5's suffer with HG's and timing belt failure, 2.8's have issues with the front seal of the pump leaking / sucking air.

DOHC 3.5's have valve lifter issues with infrequent oil changes.

Think I would plump for the 2.8 though... :)
 
the most reliable is the 2.5 but is also a little under powered

underpowered thirsty, and for the size of the car very little shoulder room in the cab, feels cramped!

i had a mk1 with the 2.5 didn't like it :lol:lol

my farther in-law have mk2 paj with the 2.8 in it was quicker but i hated it everything was just vague, not all were like this tho :lol
 
i voted 3.5 petrol but please take no notice i know nothing but it is the one i would buy as its similar mpg to my y61 and more power
 
I knew two 2.5s both had catastrophic head problems

I also knew a 2.8, but it was auto. Absolutely useless, whenever you tried to use the torque of the engine it would kick down a gear and start revving high where there was no power! Resulted in being far to slow for a 2.8 4x4!

If I were personally going for one it would be a 3.0 with a LPG conversion :thumb2
 
ooooooooooooooow

2.5 VERY VERY UNDER POWERED PLUS TIMEING BELT PROB'S. EVEN CHIPPED MY 2.5 STILL GUTTLESS. AND 2.8 ARE A BETTER TRUCK BUT SUFFER FROM PUMP SEALS DRYING OUT THEN THEY SUCK AIR. PLUS PRONE FOR HEAD TROUBLE'S look on ebay if you see a cheap 2.8 it may want a head or had one
Hope this helps
