Whoa hold on,first Wagoo and now Bush65 is singing the praises of the too small capacity full of electronic's that can't be fixed in the bush Td5.Has someone put something in the water?. Pat

Now with all seriousness I think bmw helped design the motor for land rover and used similar designed motors in there own range but you will find the td5 motor land rover specific....i may be wrong would like to know more about it though
Just for everyone the above comment was mainly a rant that I felt was needed :D
