hi all just a couple of questions. still looking for at u grading the 95 hilux and want to know a few things about the defender 97 crew cab . is the 2.5l intercooled or direct injected i have driven a 97 discovery and liked the performance would the defender be similar as i can not find one in the dubbo area to
test run. also the constant 4wd is the rear diff fitted with a LSD . sorry to bother you all but i hope some of my questions can be answered. also what sort of ks can you expect out of a 2.5 td landie if it has been maintand. cheers Bob

The other Bob's pretty
well covered it. When you say "crew cab" are you referring to the 130 model which is not a Defender. The Defender is the 110 model wagon.
Both have virtually the same engine/running gear ... the 130 is more utilitarian ... if that's possible.
130 = 130 inch wheel base
110 = 110 inch wheel base
110 needs a footy field for a U turn ... 130 needs a paddock.
Just kidding ... both bloody great trucks ... but then again I'm a tad biased .. ;-))
Cheers

Gidday Bob,
I have a 1996 130 Defender, and yes it is a Defender, just make sure the Timing belt conversion has been done to the 300TDI motor and then have the timing belt changed every 60,000 k's.
Mine has a mobile
home on the back and fully loaded etc, I average 24 mpg over an entire trip in the outback.
Great vehicle and I'm sure if you find one you will be equally happy.
Send me your e-mail address and I will post you a few pics.
Regards
John

I stand corrected ... was thinking about now, not then.
