It has been known for Gs to be fitted with other diesel engines, Nissan Toyota even LR, but one sounded more like a 280 with no silencer.

Re: Mortinson please translate!!

I personally knew all three Gs

There are two SWBs and one LWB.

Both SWBs fitted with the n/a OM617. The LWB has a standard OM617 with an fitted turbo.

Nothing special under the sun!

Re: Mortinson please translate!!

well i am amazed :!:

it goes to show that proper maintenance,a few minor tweaks and a good driver results in a very capable vehicle :lol:

still can't relate those G's to the heavy and slow 300GD :shock:

or is it the mediteranean blood in us....olive oil,organic food etc that makes those G's shift.... :wink:

:shock: Well Russ, unless you have been practising with the Gay off-road drivers' club :lol: I don't understand what is strange about that video... it's standard offroad driving in private, closed land

And whats wrong with that, the smell of axle grease and burnt clutch can be quite intoxicating, Oh and men in wellie's I am Welsh after all :shock: :shock:

Seriously I’ve tackled more extreme situations with far less drama (even in things I don’t own) it’s the engineer in me constantly calculating the stresses/risks involved I guess
