    That Td5 is a great bit of design, and before its time. Very efficient, fuel system is unique and if it weren't for emissions regs and taxing certain engine capacities etc it would still be available. It is/ was a very capable engine up against other offerings from around the globe.

    Long live the Td5!!

    So the Storm may not be the last Land Rover diesel.
    At the time the article was written the prospects for a new LR designed and built engine would have looked poor. From 1994 to 2000 BMW had started fitting BMW sourced engines, and from 2000 Ford fitted Ford Group sourced engines to JLR products.

    That JLR are now talking about building their own engines is yet more evidence that Tata ownership is the best thing that could have happened to Land Rover. It really makes you wonder what could have been if a company with enough vision to have embraced the 4 and 6 cylinder variants of the Td5 had bought the company in 1994.

    cheers

    The Tatas seem very bright people, they have had joint ventures with Fiat to produce engines for Tata products. We may find that the JLR engine plant may have an eventual aim of designing engines for manufacture and use in Tata branded products to meet EU requirments. Even if the engines are not produced in the UK.

    I have spoken to LR development people who say the Tata ownership has been the best thing in more than twenty years of their employment at Land Rover.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
