Thread: 2.4 L Ford motor for defender.?

Reading the specs I think the LT230 just has the 1.2Q upgrade from the D2. Theres half the improvement in noise & refinement just there. Plus the better (taller) cruising.

I suppose if the Ford diesel can do this in a van, it must do better with a 6 speed constant 4WD Defender.

If so, that's what will sell them.
