I know Land Rover are going to build there own engines , but I don't know if they doing it yet ...

I found this, it should answer the question.
Must be different tuning for The various models as I think the Defender still has 90kw same as the td5.

Although the same displacement, they are completely different engines.

Currently, the engines are still supplied by Ford.

Yes, thanks for stating that. The wiki references clearly state that the Defender 2.2 is a different engine to the one used in the Evoque and Freelander although both coming under the Duratorq designation so the final line in the 'cut & paste' on my original post would appear to be incorrect.

Oh well, never believe everything you read.

Hi to the Camel , for that info . The reason I asked the question ..Summiitt asked 2.4. to 2.2 ,so i thuoght what is the differance , other than a bit smaller . I've now looked on wikapeddia , at the Ford Duratorq range , so i know a bit more .After looking at the list I think the 3lt , would be a good option for Australia . After all Triumph use a 2.2 lt in the road Rocket ..so thanks mate ,all the best ....jimr1
