hi everyone the licence and the weight is fine i was just worried having a 3.5 v8 and series 3 box with weight behind would blow up the gearbox as i have heard horror stories of them going with just normal driving never mind a trailer behind

hello everyone new to the forum and my first land rover i have a series 3 swb with a v8 conversion and my mate asked me if i could use my land rover to help him collect his ford focus on a car trailer that he has just bought. the only problem is i dont know if the gearbox will be man enouth as i have never towed with it before except for little trailer i think i should be ok if i take it easy but i thought i would see if anyone had done it before any advise would be great thanks kerin

hello everyone new to the forum and first land rover i have been looking on the internet and have noticed some people have been putting 200tdi engines in there series land rovers but they have been removing the turbo and exhaust manifold and fitting a 2.25 exhaust manifold instead to make a 200di so what i wanted to know was if i got a 200 tdi or 300 tdi turbo and manifold would it with a thicker head gasket to lower compressionbe able to fit it to my 2.25 engine ? or would i be better off fitting a v8 instead its just i wanted to be different any advice would be great thanks kerin
