    Big fan of the landrover and I'm saving for a new(ish) 90 at the moment. But this that came up on Tm looks like a bit of fun Land Rover Defender Its actually a 110 cab ch 1986 | Trade Me

    In my opinion they need to be original.

    No point swapping your landy out full of other makes, although they are practical improvements if you want practical don't buy a LandRover... Buy a landcruiser.

    If you want a LandRover... Buy a LandRover and maintain it. At least it will be worth something when your finished

    Problem is most of the standard LR motors until relatively recently (and that includes the V8s) would have trouble pulling a hen off her roost, so that motor conversion makes a lot of sense.

    While I have no doubt to the off road capabilities of these, having seen them on the asphalt and thought " very cool".

    Having traveled in one for only a short period of time I think I would be more comfortable " inside" a sheep than inside a landy .....

    I've owned a Landy many years ago and wouldnt go there again!
    my 89 hilux makes land rovers look agricultural.
    I do 40k a year in mine and if ya do the basics they're go forever!

    Hmmm well my series three Landy is a lot faster than a 70 series with the 3b. And on par with my old 2001 5l powered hilux (yes I'm aware both of those are slow)

    Those FDs are pretty good, my mate had the 4.2l one in a Rangerover, it had more power and torque than the 3.5v8. There were about 20 Rangerovers sold from a dealer in chch in the late 80s with 4.5l v8s, they go pretty well.

    lol na that's what I've been doing in it since I owned it.
    the speedo is a bit unreliable as it stops and starts for some reason so just going of my KS to and from work that I know!
