    Just curious what do you know about them gub? I never really paid much attention to them at all. I know my cousins one has had motor issues since the first week of owning it. It spent more time on their hoists then it did on the road. But other than that I don't know anyone who owns one. I assumed they were a good breed.

    thought they only used a 2.2 in the Transits

    Definitely in the UK the 3.2 was an option. There isn't allot of info out there but the Defender guys talk about the Transit and Ranger 3.2 as if it is the same engine.

    Ford make the owners sign a NDA before they will fix the issue, was told through a 3rd party I trust. Unfortunately all the new cars are not built to last and all have issues of some description.

    Been there done that with the conversion. Didn't want to try 3 times lucky with a ZD. I wanted a TD but have an Auto so it wasn't as straight forward and no one really had a decent TD around at the time. Looked and just about went a Barra, but not many had been done yet.

    In the end I went LS. Anything goes wrong parts everywhere and it's cheaper to replace than even a diesel pump sh!tting itself. Damn fun to drive and it sounds nice - haven't had any issues in water crossings which was my main concern (aprt from the serpentine belt squealling it's head off for a little bit).
