The mail coach does not arrive from London till Tuesday in these parts, so I guess the order book will be full by the time I get my copy, knowing my luck, the posty will have a TDV6 before me........

The only thing that detracts from the story is that it's in LROI. Every month I spot basic errors in their stories discussing LRs.
This month for the Disco2 they claim ACE and SLS was fitted to all but the base model -  ! Except the base model, all 5-seat models had ACE but no SLS (quad rate springs as std), whilst the 7-seat models had SLS but no ACE. The top spec model had both ACE & SLS. Also you could not get a non-SLS with 7-seats as that has not been homoglonised (however it's spelt).
Other than for one of specific articles I refuse to buy LROI, it's also getting difficult to locate in Derby, LRE and LRM are more readily available. What sort of power/torque does the BAS setup give? |

Harvey Depends what you mean by a "base model Disco II" I believe this was the "E" that was only available to special order No electronics at all, 5 seats and coil springs, I had an "S" that most considered to be the base model, 5 seat, coil sprungs, no ACE or SLS but ABS and Traction Control. Funnily enough I remember you advising me not to get a DII on the old FLC Forum after you had your one. Never was much good at listening to advice  MAD COW

Just realised what was in LRW was a series on someone trying to fit a TDV8 into a Defender, although I seem to recall that Pete had a hand in that project too? MAD COW 2007 90 Hard Top - 2009 BMW F800GS - 2002 CCM 604E Dual Sport Project90 |

You also missed the bit where there's a photo of the D2 engine bay, clearly a V8 sat in there, and they keep referring to is as a Td5!!! 
How useless are these people? |

Generic remaps is a bit harsh lol and you got the price wrong, pimped up cars is cool though, i can live with that
