No I'm not in the market for a plastic fantastic but Im interested to hear the pros and cons of both engines.
I have two mates that have the 2.8, both chipped and both have had thousands of ks of hassle free driving, albeit mainly road and medium offroad.
I also have two mates (yes that's four mates!, Im friends with the whole of tassie!), that have the 3 litre. I'm not sure if they're Di or crd but I think they're both whichever is earlier. One is stock and new to him and not many ks done. The other is the grenade year but heavily modified and previously owned by a diesel mechanic that did all the nads etc. It's on 37s, airlockers etc etc...
I've driven one 2.8 and the stock 3 litre but only in town and months apart so can't really guage the power difference.
I'm guessing the 3 litre has more power but is susceptible to the grenade issue. The 2.8 has a bit less power but you have the piece of mind of reliability.
Do they use a similar amount of fuel?
I've not checked the power or economy figures on paper.
What do you have or what would you buy and why?
I'm not interested in hearing about the mighty td42 in this thread lol
