Thread: Rangerover /Discovery X

3.5 litre diesel? Wonder what brand? It would be an interesting vehicle to study up close, but $22K is a bit steep for me (even in UnZud dollars!)

well all the underneath was all RR anyway, so its no great jump,, wonder what the insides like?

Mazda 3.5 turbo
it even comes with a 'high performance diesel conversion handbook'.

update RRC, 88/89 model. main interior is all RRC, but the back seats are the old cloth disco types in pale blue trim.

Here's the old LRO article.

I like it! Silly place to put a front tow ball though.

Depends on how you look at it.
We used to have a non turbo version of that motor in a Ford Trader, that caused no end of trouble.

So when the motor dies, easy enough to hook up a drag bar of some type to move it along

So, Les Thompson was thinking ahead? Wise man
