Average speed was about 72 on the highway. In my case my mods are 2" lift, 255/85 KM2s, and...... a fuel sucking RTT. I guess I should be happy with 15-16 based on what you all are saying. (15.5 is corrected for the 5% difference in odometer based on tire size - verified by GPS) I'd like to be...

Stinks! Averaged 15-16mpg on 1700 miles of pavement (highway) this past weekend. This needs to be addressed. What are others seeing for average mpg? (2nd gen in this case)

Be careful about shipping in a container. Extra fees and processing time/storage at the port can add up very quickly (thousands of extra dollars). RoRo is the way to go.

Doug at Dividing Creek Imports will be your best resource for import information. He is occasionally on this forum, but can be more frequently found on Defender Source.

He's a real guy. Unbelievable, but true. You saw his YouTube video walkaround right?

Cool. It's like an AeroPress without the mess. May have to switch over to one of these.

That is quite over protective! I'd differ on a few points - don't go too crazy replacing stuff until you can confirm it's bad. Injectors are reliable on these engines. Turbo can be easily checked for play in the shaft. There is no EGR on the 200Tdi though, and they are actually known for not...

Really the motor may be the least of your concerns! Not to say the rest of the vehicle is troublesome... but you will end up spending far more time tinkering with about a dozen other things before the Tdi.

You know what else has lots of youtube views? Videos of cats and people getting kicked in the nuts. Good metric to measure yourself by.

The 200Tdi is a great choice for what you describe. Your best community resource in the US will be Defender Source - www.defendersource.com You will likely find the Tdi to be simpler and easier to maintain over time than nearly any gas motor. Aside from regular timing belt changes every 60k...

I think you'd be getting the short end of the financial stick by quite a few thousand dollars....

Well, its relatively straightforward. This gentleman has burned just about every bridge in the 4wd community, making some real threats against men AND women in the process. Expedition Portal is his last refuge. It seems pertinent to spread the word about this individual's history, before...

Don't mean to start an argument with you Nathan, HDC/ABS/TC is the same reactionary system (ABS pump/module pulsing brakes) to 3 different conditions. ABS modulates brake pressure during braking TC modulates brake pressure during acceleration/under power HDC modulates brake pressure during...

http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/service/archive/65295/hill%20descent%20control%20(hdc).pdf It's strictly a function of the ABS system. Think of it like traction control. The ABS pump pulses the brakes on individual wheels to maintain steady wheelspeed. The Electronic Parking Brake...

It is not. That's a separate system actuated by an electric motor that "pulls" on two cables to actuate the brake shoes.

What? There is no such thing as internal hub mounted pads... The HDC uses a combination of engine braking plus the ABS pump and brake calipers to regulate wheel speed.

For similar cash, this is 10 times the "icon" that an Icon Defender could ever be.

You know I almost really like the black Icon 90... but how could they strike out on the front and rear bumpers so badly? I was under the impression their whole design philosophy was to appreciate and enhance the original deign of the vehicle (hence their FJ, CJ, and Bronco). Those bumper...

Some people have a different tolerance level for complex design than others. No reason to crap on Land Rover... just don't buy one. Pretty simple really.
