TDV8 Defender, we have done it.
After months of hardship and secrecy, we can proudly announce that we can fit the LR TDV8 from a FFRR into a Defender. Our test car is CarlS 90. All I can say is wow this is what the Defender 60th anav should have been fitted with. I we can do it successfully then why could'nt L R.


I will post a full review later.

Pob is correct Thumbs Up

I also sent the same post to LROI, Disco3, and Devon 4x4

Defender2, Disco3 and LROI rumbled the post straight away, however the Devon 4x4 site seemed a bit..... er..... well you decide.

Nice one AndrewS

What a different customs between countries.

In Chile we have something similar that is calling the "Innocents Day" (December 28th).


By the way I will be out for 5 days for our annual LR Club meeting. So, see you in few days!

Cheers Eduardo
