lets put an END to the MYTH!

I don't know what it is that others do not like about the ancient truck motor Isuzu but I also do not like it.
I am not sure why, the bearded people driving them, the noise or just the stigma?
My best mate has one and I pay him out constantly, everything has rattled loose, even his filling but he loves it.
Sure it has more power but so it should at almost twice the capacity and sure it will last but so will any truck motor.

I am not even sure why I bought a 300tdi.

I just like Landies I guess but the Isuzu thing just does nothing for me and most of the Landrover mechanics I use in this state also find them a joke but hey, I am glad some-one loves them.

Oh and I wish the 300 would whip the suzi but I can't see it happen.

lets put an END to the MYTH!

yes the 300tdi is gutless compared, there i put an end to it:p

You honestly think a stock 300tdi will out perform a intercooled 4bd1t? How dilusional:angel:
The other day i follwed Rovercar in his, i was in my VW transporter, 128kw/400Nm, i couldn't catch him, was basically even, and this thing leaves our 300tdi disco for dead, which has been fueled and boosted:(

MYTH??? Is this a wind up?? You're 'avin a larf Guv!


The fact is that yes a 300Tdi MANUAL, boosted and fuelled will most likely have a higher TOP speed due to its ability to revout past 3200rpm:p, BUT that is where it ends laughing boy:D

I wouldn't waste whatever measly amount of diesel it takes to 'whup your Tdi Butt'.

:D:D:D:D

LOL thats funny, i guess you only have one friend and he's a mechanic. but as to why the "bearded people driving then" go i would assume because most of them have driven around this island at least a couple of times. drive over large mountains in L2 at idle, fiord small Lakes in L3 and have at least 300K on the clock ( 400K in my case) or maybe it has something to do with the bald patch on there Jaw from dropping Roos at 300 meters and pigs at 3 meters, can wip the head of a brown as quick as you can blink. where in your case a trip to the servo to get a lollypop on a wet night is the biggest adventure you will ever have. but then i would say your good at handling your snake:wasntme:

IVE DRIVEN A V8 KINGSWOOD HARD TO KEEP UP WITH A ISUZU:(

hehehehe....

300tdi = car engine, zoozoo = ;ight truck engine. No comparo really.
I drive a 300tdi.... but have no probs saying the zoozoo would win, hands down.

Back in the old country they used to put 4236 (?) Perkins in rangies..... this would be more of a direct trial for you, chief.

:)

Why bother?

yes dobbo that was me lol :D
why bother? i want to see what the big fuss is about the 4bd1T are they really that powerfull if so ill be corrected but until i see one out pull a 300 ill stay on mutual ground because dont get me wrong isuzu's are great but are they really that good ;):angel: and no me and the old man are not going to do a winner takes all comparo :cool: and as i hav said im mostly talking about 4bd1T's because we own a 4bd1 and it isnt even in the equation :eek:

Gday Matt,
You've really got them stirred up now! Gotta be careful bagging the Islowzu around this forum, Im not a fan either, the only thing i like is the fuel economy...

Dobbo, yours is about as slow as they come, strap a turbo on it and maybe then give it a go!

perhaps me and dobbo should have a drag:D

Any excuse to frock up.:angel:
