Heard that the 4.2 was a bored out 4.0/3.9. Don't know a thing about the 4.6. Sorry... But for $20kUS you could buy a lot of Classic RR, I mean a really nice one.

i think there were some earlier postings that
the 4.6 engine was perhaps at the engineering
extreme and was problematic. any thoughts
on this. but i also think the 4.6 came out
later and if i am in the under $20k market, i
would have the 4.0 as my choice... ray

The new body style Range Rover is a 2nd or 3rd generation EAS system that is very sophisticated and, I'm told, trouble free. In fully extended height, the new Rangie has more body clearance than a D90. But the smaller, less aggressive tires will limit the under axle clearance.
