    Bridgestone D694. Only got them on Friday but had a good chance to test them in the rain, way ahead of the OEM Wranglers in breaking and all round confidence. Road noise is up but not too much. They bag out nicely when deflated to 18 PSI and performed really well today in the sand but the FL2 was good in the sand before. Light car + 400Nm of torque = great fun in the sand!

    They are called Revo in the US you can read reviews here although apparently not that good on snow TireRack.com Tire Reviews

    The freelander 1.8 beat bowlers , belive me i was driving it at the time. It can put the power down alot better than the Big V8's
    Goes very very well and shocked alot of people when it first went out. But eneded up winning the british off road champsonships two years in a row, with my brother at the wheel

    Nah it is not a D-lander the TD5 is a TD5 freelander that was made by land rover speacial Vechiles for the Paris-Dakar
    This is it on the dakar

    K series modification

    Any idea what they do to modify the K series to make it last for racing?
    They are well know to being very sensitive to over heating with dropped
    cylinder liners and blown head gaskets, I had heard they moved the thermostat to help fix the problem but due to the design they are prone to failure.

    I would imagine since it was such a common engine (Rover, MG as well)
    that someone would come up with a good fix.

    Relocation of the thermostat and a good head gasket fixes almost all the issues. There is also a lubrication issue with poor oil pressure in the head, but apparently a few new parts in the pickup fixes that.

    There is more, but those are the easiest to fix.

    Cheers!
