Now that would be good!!

As I understand it nothing that exciting, a 60th LE of some sort yes but not with a different engine this time round. I know a couple of the guys else where have managed to take deposits on a 60th!!

Apparently there is something "big" comeing up but chances are it will be something green and a lot of hype.

Untoubtedly that would be an awesome vehicle but I cant see how they could ever fit it in! After all they had to cut a hole in the bonnet to make a Transit engine fit!! I do know that Discovery will get the TDV8 in the not too distant future tho, should make for an interesting drive. And there is a new 5 litre petrol unit on its way too!

I heard a rumour a while ago someone over seas was trying to get a TDV6 to work in a Defender. Not sure how true it was and I cant see it being possible but you never know!

It's not a transit engine, the castings are the same but all the ancillaries and engine management, turbo, sump etc. are different... The Discovery 3 will not get the TDV8 until Range Rover has a higher powered oil-burner available, Discovery 3 will be getting the TDV6 three litre very soon however

Thought they were dumping the petrol in the UK.

The 4.4 is no more for the UK, RRS and RR in petrol form are 4.2 s/c. We still sell a steady number of s/c in both RR and RRS form.
