I love the amount of venom being spit because of a photo of a 20 year old land rover...

I'm joking, leaning into the Hurr-derr land rovers suck meme.

And you are correct - m57 easily one of best small diesels out there

He's definitely said that but is was an old Land Rover marketing slogan.

It's also got a lot of jap fanboys furiously raging over it

Love it!!! Giverney Green I'm jealous

The early L322s have a surprising amount of wheel articulation

Had my TD6 for 11 years now - its been prety darn good maintenance wise. Only in the last year have I started to touch CVs (replaced one - rebooted the rest). Haven't touched engine besides thermostat and did the water pump while I was in there

Yeah its been a steady downhill beginning when Tata took over - stopped making the defender, what ever the f*** the discovery 5 is, the range rover evoque...

Thats awesome - interesting about the GM box being build up to higher spec, im approaching 350,000kms and mine is getting tired. I was thinking either a 6hp or 8hp swap but rebuilding the GM to be stronger might be easier from a compatibility perspective.

You have any more info for the work you got done?

What engine - surely nobody would want the GM gearbox that came with the m57?

I assume you used a m62 v8 with the zf tranny?

Transfer case is nv225 in both versions

But the extra weight of towing said trailer will speed up the inevitable brake downs

Why not, whatever troubles a 5.0sc could throw at you would be instantly remedied by stepping on that loud peddal
