Thanks for all that info, I have a '93 Disco with a 2003 4L with the 3.5 inlet manifold and plenum and air flow meter, it has a stage 1 (mild cam) cam and Holden Clubsports Quad squirter injectors, it has a snorkel and extractors and a 2 1/2" free flowing exhaust (sounds great). It has the ZF 4 sp Auto with 4.11 diffs and ARB lockers both ends and ARB Compressor, Maxi-Drive axles and flanges, defender 110 front CV's and swivel housings, 31x10.5x15 BFG Mud Terrains, Guards cut out for 35"'s, flares, 2' lift OME springs, Bilstein Shocks and steering damper, diff centre guards, AVM front bash plates, ARB winch bar with 12,000lb winch, ARB side steps/Rock sliders and ARB rear bar, 135 litre fuel tank and dual batteries. Whew.
Goes great on the road and unstoppable off the road, But it costs me $190.00 AUD to fill it up and I average around 18 to 20L/100klms and as I plan to drive around Australia for the next few years I was looking at a Diesel transplant as I would be towing a loaded Van about 750Kgs, I am concerned that a diesel would not have the balls to do the job, but fuel usage is a big consideration. Most people I have spoken to have said sell the current Disco and buy a diesel version, much easier than transplanting, but as you can see this disco has got everything I want, there is about $12K (not including the engine @ $4k) in extras in this wagon and I dont want to have to start over again or transfer all the goodies to a diesel Disco, that's where it is at the moment, any comments would be welcome, Regards Frank.
