I,ve got two transits, an old smiley with the bombproof banana engine and a slightly newer dura torque model and neither of them are anywere near as uncomplicated or inexpensive to repair as a proper series Landy, I can drop the sump pull the crank and change the Pistons in the landrover on the side of the road without a jack or lifting the engine, you just can't do that stuff on any modern motor, plus the electrics on all modern motors are a weakness were as I have sat in the drivers seat of my Landy upto my waste in water and it keeps on going as the battery is only there to start it, I can remove the battery once it's going and nothing happens, and the final reason it's better is because it's going up in value were as the ox will plummet like a rock from new so that's why it's better to buy a real ,old one,than a modern pretender, oh and did I mention my free road tax come on 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The last of them has puma engine and has amazing torque as for the old ones the had old before 200tdi had leaf springs which made the ride crap and they were too slow .

I prefer leafs over coils far to much body roll for my liking, and like I said if you want to go fast get a sports car, I have fitted a few different motors in the old series, the best one was a lightweight fitted with a 200 tdi minus turbo, and a fairy overdrive my friend drove to Spain and back in it, it also has parabolic leafs, it's quite smooth and quiet does 40 mpg and pulls like a horse, I,m afraid I,m biased really as I hate all modern motors, I think any motor made after the mid 90s is just shite, hopefully I have enough old bangers in my fleet that I will never need a new one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
