    OK,

    as DB was kind enough to point out.....


    Yes, we just bought a Disco with the International 2.8

    So far we are very happy with it, although we have never driven a LR diesel in any shape or form (other than an old series 2.25 - 20 odd years ago)

    It was also pointed out to us that we ony had the wastegate version of the motor, and not the "you beaut" variable vane turbo (or whatever it's actually called).

    Still, we have found the economy to be great. Although being mated to an auto gearbox (zf - 4 speed), it still out-performs the (classic) Rangie in both performance and economy. In fact, running the disco on Diesel, is working out cheaper than the Rangie on LPG.

    Stick it onto a manual box, and I think she'd ho even harder.

    Apparently this is the engine of choice for the middle east LR exports. Tougher than the 300tdi, more power and torque, more reliable.

    Time will tell.
