    Haha isn't that what they weigh? At least that's what I thought the V8's weigh and maybe the Tdi's a little less but that's going from a pretty shaky memory of reading something somewhere some time ago. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I would love to know what a Disco actually weighs.

    My V8 weighs bang on 2.5t with me in it. Has front and rear steel bars, steel sliders, full length steel roof cage, lpg tanks and dual batts that help get it up there.

    Mine weighs 2.75t without me in it - I cant remember about the fuel level and I now have added gas so that would be another 50kg probably so I reckon your bang on for a standard one.

    my 93 v8 disco weighed 1980kg according to the weighbridge at the tip, it was pretty much stock at the time, and probably low on fuel

    My Tdi weighs 2.2t with 2 people and 2 blue heelers in it and various crap.
    I have none of the steel this and that though. I think the diesel is heavier.

    I believe the Disco 1 GVM is around 2.7t so if your car weighs that much standard you're in trouble.

    Ha well it's interesting that people are recording different weights for their cars which I would have thought would be more similar. I guess I've got a TJM winch bar on mine but no winch, plus a little LPG tank for the diesel LPG fumigation. I thought that my old V8 also weighed that much though...it was standard but with a couple of LPG scuba tanks.

    As I indicated earlier, I actually have no idea what they weigh now but it sounds like 2.7t is not out of the ordinary.

    There's no way your D1 weighs 2.7t unless you fill it with 7 americans. They are all about the 2 tonne mark, standard, V8 weighs slightly less than the Tdi.

    If i was going to phaff around with conversion i would put a 350 in it though, that's how i see it being worth it.
