  1. Hello, I have a 6.2 v8 fitted to a defender 90 and was after some information. It has a heavy duty santana gear box fitted (engine and gearbox fitted by samuri) What i would like to know is, can the gearbox take the toque/power the engine pumps out, I often pull 3.5 tons and up any form of hill you can smell the gearbox over heating. Is this common? or will it cause the box to break after a while?, I've been told the engine puts out about 350lbs of toque under full throttle where as the normal land rover is about 200lbs? Thanks for your help Rich
  2. Hi Guys, Can anyone give me a hand here, I have a land rover 90 fitted with a 6.2 v8 gmc engine. It had been running no problems for over a year, then one day it would not start on its own, only when I gave it a spray with easy start. Once it is warm it will start all day long, but as soon as it gets cold again it will not start I have changed all the plugs and checked the injector pump and it does pump fuel through but I'm not sure how much it should use. I have also had the starter overhauled. I have taken it to a few garages and nobody seems to know anything about these engines and end up just giving it back to me as they do not know what is wrong. A friend says it can not be the injector pump as if that was not working properly then the land rover could not run at all, he says it could well be low on compression and to get that tested? If you guys think this is true do you know what psi i should be looking for in every cylinder? Any help would be great as I'm stuck here. Thanks
