Petrol or Diesel? V8 or Inline 6? More horsepower or better torque? Dave is always being asked - "Which engine should a put in my Defender conversion?" Today we try (try) to answer that question by pitting Ethos & Ninja against each other - a Chevy LS3 V8 automatic vs our latest BMW 300D M57 manual Defender 90 build. Which do you think is the best 90?
We also see Bruno breaking down an axel, and Christian is fitting a new ORE wheel carrier & rear footstep to a Defender 110.
Help us get this video to 1000 like and we'll put together the drag race! 🏁

1000 likes and we’ll drag race them. Remember to LIKE the video!

The best one is any one with a 300 or 200 Tdi in it! The Defender is not a Defender without one. As much as I love your Defenders, I really don't like putting Chevy and BMW engines in an English 4x4. For me, that's how it is - each to their own!

Do you remember when Land Rover were the poor man’s 4x4 . Not anymore 😢.

Every week you get great comments and rightly so! But I would say this is your best episode to date, from what must seem boring to you daily maintenance like swivel joints which to a diy defender fixer is incredibly interesting to the in-depth comparison on engines we would never normally get to experience it’s great and your passion for the cars and your products it’s infectious. Just wanted to say thanks from a defender lover and I hope you get the you tube success you deserve with all this effort when your incredibly busy, recon Ninja would storm it !

I saved a few of these videos to watch with my son because I like to watch a few of them. He stayed home sick today and we get to watch all these. Thank you again I love this correction we love this.

I'm really happy with my 110 2.4 but if...........and that's probably why most of us watch this. Great stuff.

Great video! I like how you did the coolant hoses on the LS. I did mine with AN20 fittings and braided hose which looks good, but the custom bent pipes just look clean.

@eduhgraficx

It's simple to feel your passion for these builds. Exceptional work mate! I never thought I'd be easily convinced on something as fast as I have been. Bucketlist stuff right here.

Drooling over the quality most of all. Love every part of the build, helps us all dream bigger. Americans may find the 3 liter diesels from the USA’s big 3 achieve great results as well.

That supercharger issue on the vogue is fairly common same issue can be found on the 3.0 supercharged Jaguar f types etc. had many apart. Especially fun when there’s been a coolant leak usually from the plastic connector on the oil cooler in the v and the bolts holding the supercharger down corrode in and snap.
