That's what the salesman told me, but I don't think he knows much anyway!

He emailed me on Wednesday confirming that the Australian version will not be coming out with the 150 engine!


Just bought a Holden ute for work and must say that every car salesman have been totally useless, lack of knowledge on specification and just don't get back to you! I bought the Holden not because its the best ute or I got the best deal, I bought because the salesman returned my calls and new his stuff!

I cannot complain about my dealings with him, happy with the service.

So does mine what does everyone else's number start with? I wonder if a 150 engine (hp) starts with 150..

I think it is the same engine, just with a remap to provide more grunt

Mine starts with 150 also :)

True, but the higher powered engines are called (Land Rover distinction) the 150 which is why I asked. My engine number starts with 150 (ie 150hp) so I wondered.

I think you will find its just 150 by coincidence or year of manufacture. My 2010 starts with 100, and it had 90KW until mapped up to 122Kw. I think 170KW is as good as it gets, and that is race spec "it could blow" any moment type of tune. I doubt very much if a standard 2.2 from LR would have 150KW out of the box. Nice, but I think your dreaming. However I'm no LR insider, so happy to be wrong.

Agee with the coincidence theory, my 2012 engine number starts with 111, and we are talking horse power not kilowatts ;)

Engine number starting with the date of manufacturing (say 150511 is 2015/05/11),
Code of the country manufacturing, and engine type.
