But, in the event anyone here thinks that I reckon they're a chance, I'm here to tell ya now,..NO WAY.

Pickles ever thought of buying the 2014 Range Rover V8 diesel motor from one that had been written off and fitting it in you 90 with the auto box??? I had the old 3.9 V8 rover motor with auto box out of a disco fitted to my 90, 12 years ago and it worked well. I did not every measure the lt/100km as I loved it to much to acknowledge the negative side. However the V8 diesel should be reasonable.

Louis, Being an old "V8 Man" for years, I've owned a few!, so yes I do get those "thoughts", but they are only thoughts as far as the Defender is concerned, because as our Defender is relatively new, & I'm happy with it, I don't want to mess with it.
But, if I had unlimited dollars, it would probably be an LS3 V8 that I would fit,..450 HP & around 570Nm would be pretty good I reckon. But, I repeat, totally out of the question for me!

Just thought I'd repeat my post from the general Defender forum . . .

I had a deposit on a Heritage Edition Defender 90 but the dealer didn't get an allocation. If anyone hears of a cancelled order, changed mind, too much dough, etc, please please drop me a PM.

Thanks!

^^^^^^^ I was talking to the salesman today at Austral in Brisbane, said that I would prefer to have delivery towards the end of November, he did mention that he had two 90 Aventures allocated but not sold, could be worth a call?

Just to give you the heads up, been into Austral Land Rover in Brisbane this morning and checked the state of play on the delivery of my 90 Adventure. It's built and on the water. This is a bit quick for me so I have managed to change to another 90 that will be built in October, this suits me better and will get here in at some point in December.
So there is a 90 Adventure on the water that's available, just thought I'd post this if anyone was interested.

Surely someone will be,....special, VERY limited edition in Aus,...and,....150HP.

Are you sure that the Adventure will be 150HP? The 16MY spec sheet indicates the same engine in Adventure and Heritage, 90 and 110. i.e., 2.2 litre 4 cylinder diesel, no further info but no indication that there is any difference between the models.

150HP engine in Adventure 90 & Autobiography.
