LAND ROVER has whipped the covers off a cracking new 200kW/640Nm turbo-diesel V8 that will make its UK debut in this year's upgraded 2007 Range Rover, before coming online in Australia next year.
Jointly developed specifically for Range Rover by Land Rover and parent company Ford, the new 3.6-litre common-rail TDV8 offers a truck-like 640Nm of torque between 2000 and 2500rpm, with 400Nm (more than the previous Rangie diesel’s 390Nm peak) available from just 1250rpm.

Back in 1998 I t hink it was, the 50th anniversary of Landrover. I bought a magazine that had been published about Landrover by one of the local publishing companies,4x4 Australia, Overlander or someone like that.
It talked about a lot of things Landrover but the interesting statistic was that, at the time, 60% of all Landrovers ever built were still registered for use on public raods. That statistic did not include all the others that are still running around on farms and the like unregistered.
Now I love my Nissan but I wonder if the percentage of all Nissan 4wd ever built that are still running is anywhere near 60%. I doubt it.
It would be even less Toyotas or Mitsubishis. lol............ :-)

Many older LRs are in poorer countries such as Africa where they have no option but to use more bandaids and keep them running.
Advertisers and spin.
