I had an 03 TD5 and had the brain out from under the seat to be remapped in 08, brilliant, more torque, a little better on MPG and more power throughout the rev range. BUT I then had to have the dual mass flywheel and clutch replaced for a solid item within three months of the upgrade. I have found this is a normal thing to have done and is never mentioned by the tuners. Just be aware that it is a cost item....

I suppose though in an older 5 this is a sensible thing to have done as the fork can be replaced at the same time and you've also a new clutch...

And the exhaust manifold can warp due to the higher exhaust gas temps - mine did anyway.

Been offered a V6 cozzie lump to go in my Defender.

Anyone done it?

I was looking at Nene overlands webpage the other day. 3.2 puma engine coversions into defenders tuned to between 250hp-300hp!! If thats not enough they also do tdv6 and tdv8 conversions. They can tune the tdv6 twin turbo to over 300hp!! I think the rover v8 has had it's day

[HertsWood]

Have a look at the Zulu conversion that JE Engineering offer and think again......

Nahhh you couldn't tow the chipper cos you would already be towing that 2000ltr bunded fuel tank around just to get to the shops and back

[Owen Green]

Found this today.. In need of slight tlc?

With a chipper too!

If that's a greenmech it could be the oldest one going.

 

Bet if you put a new battery and some fresh fuel in that landy it would fire straight up...
