Thread: buying a new D4 2.7 - rim swap

There are the few that do have a passion in what they sell. I have met a few & it makes a huge difference. Especially to the client who does deal with them.
Cheers

Yes, maybe we're both thinking of the same bloke who has now moved on ;-)

Agree there's a few. Just a few though.

Yes Rob, I think we are thinking of the same guy.

so if you were buying a 2.7 D4, would you push the sales guy to fit 17inch rims? car for mostly touring work, maybe one large offroad trip every two years and a few camping trips every year not requiring serious offroad work.

i would be interested to hear from people with 18 inch rims how they have found them

cheers

EDIT:don't worry about answering this, it has been done to death.....

Hi irondoc,
If you are thinking of buying a new D4 with 2.7L TDV6, I think you'll find that you have "missed the bus". 2011MY D4s (now in production) are NOT available with the 2.7L donk.

Best Wishes,

Where did your info come from bushwanderer?
I am looking at getting a 2.7 D4.
I asked the dealer about this, he said still 2.7L for Oz. UK and Europe have to comply with new emmission rules so they now have the detuned 3.0L.

Hi Caver,
I was under the impression that the dropping of the 2.7L was universal. Apologies to all if that is not correct.

Best Wishes,
Peter

I was hoping that was the case BW as detuned 3.0L with small disks could always be re-mapped.
