All the best Steve. Was nice chatting to you and learning how other countries mod their vehicles. Enjoy the new Disco

And here it is, my DMAX Replacement, Land Rover 110S D200 3 litre 6 cylinder diesel - picked it up on Thursday afternoon

Looks good Steve, do you have any plans to mod it?..

Sweet. Enjoy the new ride

Looks good Steve, do you have any plans to mod it?..

So it has a stack of LR Dealer additional stuff on it already - rack, ladder, raised air intake, classic mud flaps, gear carrier and an unfitted 110 bonnet decal - however the £3500 for a winch was a step too far for the missus.

But I do have a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs in the garage ready to go on plus a set of deep rubber mats to fit and a Jeep Wrangler Tailgate Table (there's a simple mod to get them to fit) to attach to the tailgate door.

There would also appear to be a CCF software config change (for a few hundred quid) that 'de-restricts' my 3 litre 6 cylinder D200 (200bhp / 500nm torque) engine to a D300 version (330bhp / 700nm torque) - I have to say it already goes like stink so that may be one I save for when manufacturers warranty expires...

Hi Steve.

Has yours got the 48v mild hybrid stuff?

I haven't been able to get any numbers, but it looks like it's got a small high output battery that runs an electric motor briefely, to drive the diesel's crankshaft, and eliminate that turbo lag and put you up the street a bit quicker. But not for long, and not to run without the diesel.

So in practice, have you noticed anything about it that you wouldn't have if it wasn't there?
