23 to 30 mpg depending on gearing. Marginally better than 2286cc Landrover
diesel engine but lots more grunt. Slower revving than Landrover diesel so
needs Range rover diffs and overdrive. Noisy but a good one will last for
ever. A bit outdated now and doesn't perform as well as 200 Tdi. Fitting
requires adapter plate and mountings, modified clutch, alteration of
exhaust
and wiring and slight modifications to chassis.
