Been thinking about this for ages.............. who makes the engine
fitted in the FL2??

Land Rover!!!!

I think it is a French jobby Peugeot possibly

It is assembled by Ford in Dagenham and was originally designed by Peugeot.

Look for DW12 here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSA_EW/DW_engine Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Thanks chaps, the only decent thing to come out of France!!
Pegleg, very interesting reading God knows where Kilowatts
and PS came from! What happened to good old fashioned horsepower

Ah, well,
PS is the Kraut (sorry German) for Horse Strength. Very similar to our own Horse Power. They are very simlar values and for the purposes of vehicle power output, you could treat them both as one of the same.
Kw is the rather silly EU value.

Therefore, the value of HP and PS can be seen on the packaging of Tesco burgers  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I'm sitting in the breakfast room of a hotel near our Paris office and I can see see quite a few exceptional things that should come out of France but I doubt the promise of a ride in a clunky 4x4 with a balding old bloke will get me very far with them  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

The use of PS is to do with Din standards. As said, the values are very similar, but if you want to know exactly, take the PS figure, and divide by 1.014 for BHP. Another figure used by some of our continental cousins, France and Spain mainly, i think, is CV. This is known by some in the trade as Horse sweat! Cheval Vapoure, is a similar value to PS, (Pferdestarke).
