I am sure that there are some steam engines around that will just not stop but it doesn't mean I want to have one under my bonnet.

Exactly! LR have been managing electronic control of engines since 82. It's really not a problem.

A mate of mine was a road service driver for the NRMA for years and only a small amount of call-outs were for breakdowns.The most common were headlights left on,locking the keys in,running out of fuel and flat tyres. Pat

I had a 300Tdi with VVT in my rangie. Now in the process of swapping in a honest, really good diesel. And VVT's are so 2000, so that had to go as well :twisted:


I have a 4BD1-T that disagrees with you - would need to be bump started though ;)

people have 1. no need for big engined cars over there

and to awnser your quote yes very much so it is british through and through but you still buy them dont you:D

being as though australia is such a small percentage of the consumer market for Land Rover, Me thinks they are going to design for the majority not the minority
