The engine is the 2.8 TGV that is basically a 2.5 300Tdi but bored or stroked to 2.8 litres with a variable-vane turbo for better torque and power delivery. Something around 135bhp or thereabouts, so I believe.

Have tried but could not drive any distance and certainly wouldn't change the Santana for the driving position of a 110... Craig |

Believe it or not, 1 mile down the road! When given the choice, she wanted something alittle different... We haven't played too much with Defenders so i didn't mind making her one... And yes, thus far she loves the results... Craig |

The 2.8TGV engine should easily cruise at 70mph if the gearing is right, which I suspect it is.
