    Yes the Jeep engine does sound pretty good...

    Here are some stats:
    Configuration: 60 degree V-6
    Head/Block Material: Aluminum cylinder head, Compacted Graphite Iron engine block
    Displacement: 3.0 liters, 182 cubic inches
    Compression Ratio: 15.5 : 1
    Bore: 3.27 inches
    Stroke: 3.60 inches
    Valvetrain: 24 valve, dual overhead cam
    Injection: 29,000 psi common rail
    Aspiration: Intercooled, water cooled variable geometry turbocharger (VGT)
    Oil Capacity: 10.5 quarts with filter
    Horsepower: 240hp @ 3,600 rpm
    Torque: 420 lb-ft @ 2,000 rpm

    180 kW sounds very nice but I am sure that I would be spending a few more dollars on it than a Terror wreck.
    Are these engines imported like the chev engines are?
    '05 ST-S with a nice tint and LOTS more to come...

    MB, I know what you mean about paperwork tricky... I am quite sure that it will take a lot of 'fiddling' to get this through ADR, but thye biggest plus is that thecapacity is below that of the vehicle it is going into... should make it easier...

    Yes the patrol may be 400 kg heavier than a Terror, but then, it put out a few more kW than the standard gu donk too and the extra torque is worth some praise...

    The way that I look at at it, if the engine doesn't have the same grenade properties as the ZD and you can tune them a bit to make them better, isnt a more reliable, more powerful engine something worth considering?

    If not, what other V configuration diesels are out there to use (apart from the Toyota 200 series donk?)
    Apologies, they didnt use this engine on the X5, the X5 was a straight 6, and from 2006 was bi-turbo, so no wonder it got up and boogied.

    My old boss used to have a Disco 3 TD and trust me, it was a slug (still quicker than my GQ lol), but then again, they are heavier than a GU. But in saying that, I've also not read many complaints about the engine.

    Good luck with the research and I hope you put up some info as you find it.

    Serious? I have a mate once owned a disco and had no end of trouble. Never-ending mechanical troubles and ended up with bottom end busted. Discos have a worse reputation for reliability than the ZD30 in my circles. Am I mixing something up here?

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??
