I'm slightly embarrassed to ask this... I know I should know, but can't work out the answer.
I'm looking, for myself and for a friend, for a new 76 Troopie for a long trip. We are looking in Dubai, where we have access to a load of options and variants. My friend wants the 4.2 Diesel, I'm leaning to the 4.5 V8 Diesel. But the local dealers (which, confusingly, are export agents) can source any variant we want, including other engine options.
Can anyone point me at a source that highlights the difference between the two, and any other engine variants? I think the 4.2 is the HZ, which I know gets a lot of great reviews- is this a function of reliability alone, or are there performance issues that make it better? I think the 4.5 can be either single or twin turbo. Is this likely to be a maintenance problem, and are there any reliability issues?
Any other options we ought to be leaning toward/steering away from? I'm assuming an immediate suspension upgrade to OMEs, some better tires, and then we are probably good to go...?!
