    Crikey, what happened post-'85? Not another "design improvement"?
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    Legendary Nissan engine, but yes a bit underpowered in factory trim. They sound just right too, bit like that other legend, the 12HT...

    it had a straight through exhaust at around 2 1/2 inches (disco has the centre muffler deleted) sounded great but what a pain to work on especially the alternator (3 new ones in 3 years )
    looking at it reminded me of the UD engine PDT6 (same design bloke apparently)

    I've seen a few different makes do that.

    At least it was a rental and they could give it back. Met a fellow in Cooktown who did it to his Holden dual cab. His only respite was "at least it happend on the way down.."

    But yeah, a pretty expensive impromptu modification. Would it be covered by insurance? I guess not...
