Thijzzzzz

Thanks chaps!

Hey! Basically, as the title says, is the MT75 4x4 a good transmission? and does it (with some work) fit into a defender or series? and what (petrol!) engines bolt up to it ( that you know of)? Cheers, Thijs

Thanks for the all the replies! a 1976/older rover is surely on my bucketlist I hadn't heard of the bmw m30 conversion before en will definetly look into it, the mercedes engine mentioned in the other thread sure is an option aswell, I have loads to think about for a while now, thanks!

Hi all! my name is Thijs and I have been wondering about the following; I'm planning on getting a land rover (series/defender) the basic rule that I want to keep is that is build in 1988 or ealier, and (in the end) a petrol, because of tax legislation laws in the netherlands. most defender or series here are sold with diesels in them, which would make me end up paying through my nose just for taxes. obviously it would be just great to drop in a nice rover V8 but the MPG is simply something that I can't afford. so my question is, what would be decent petrol engines that I could put in my rover? some conversions that may have been done before? Cheers, Thijs
