Range Rover Sport

Thanks Gronk...I'll be interested to find out which muddies he has; tyres - particularily 19 inch, are pretty hard to come by! Cheers

Thanks Michael, yep read that article in Overlander; which came across very well.
In fact, that very car - the silver TDV6 is currently for sale at ULR in Melbourne if anyone's interested.

I'd be interested in all the other instances of this in the euro diesel engines.

Baz.

Aren't there a fair number of posts on here complaining about the repair costs/ lack of water traps on Toysan's for the same problem and these were not hi-tech diesels.

Disco

Mr Turbo Lux - thanks for this - I will check this out big time b4 I fill up anywhere remote. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeh, but the Sport looks 6 times better, and now with the v8 T/D, goes 6 times better >>......>>if you can afford it !!!

Yes that's true!

I guess if you are going touring, you really don't need all that grunt of the TDV8.

Having said that, the ultimate Land Rover for me would be a fully optioned Disco 3 with a TDV8. Sadly, Land Rover doesn't have any plans to do this.

I'll bet you could do it yourself.

All you need is a good mechanic, a shoe horn and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of money.

I would love a RR Sport. I figure by the time I save up for it they will have sorted all the little bugs you find in an initial model.

Thanks everyone who's responded. Lots of good points here. Certainly agree that the ultumate Land Rover would be the Discovery 3 (AKA 'Bread Van') with the TDV8 but as others have said the Sport looks (and now goes) so much better. We'll use ours when it finally gets delivered to tow a heavy off-road camper.
And day to day in the city it's so much better in terms of size. Once ARB come out with a Sahara Bar for it - which I'm sure they will given how many Sports are being sold in the US; and once some decent tyres become more readily available, I reckon you'd be hard pushed to find a better 4wd. I, for one, can't wait!
