[Hi Everybody]

I've seen rangies advertised with those in but never a disco , i bet they'd be as juicy as a petrol v8 as well .

would imagine they'd have enough torque to pull a house down

[Hi Everybody]

I think i've made my mind up to go for the tdi . think it will be the best all rounder for my needs in the long run

i gather the manual box will be the best bet as i've never had an auto in an offroader

thanks for the advise

[Hi Everybody]

Also what would be better for trialing and greenlaning , an auto or a manual ?

cheers

[Hi Everybody]

The thought of the v8 sound and power makes me want one but in my heart i know i should maybe have the disco .

What are the biggest tryes i can put on a disco without doing any body mods ?

i more than likely will be going for a 2" lift

thanks for the replys so far

[Hi Everybody]

I've just been reading about uprating the intercooler on the tdi and fetling the fueling to give upto 30 more bhp and a big hike in torque which would sway me more to the tdi for the offroading side as i know that some v8's hate even a drop of water but everything can be sorted one way or another .

[Hi Everybody]

Hi all just signed up so thought i'd pop in and see how you all are .

I've got a series 2a at the mo but am thinking about getting a discovery

im after a 300tdi or would also like a v8 but with lpg to keep costs down

would be using it for trialing and greenlaning but also going to work in it now and then

what i would like to ask is which would be better for what i want it for ? the tdi or the v8 ?

will be putting bigger wheels and tyres on it and a winch and a few other bits and bobs

is the tdi a bit gutless in the power department when it comes to adding bigger wheels and tyres and weighing it down with all the other add ons ie sumpguard diff guards ?

sorry to ask so much so soon but was just looking for your impartial views on it

Many thanks
