Xtremeteam:
i drive alot of landrovers & diesel autos dont rank high in my favourites (unless its tweaked  :twisted: ) although saying that they are good ofroad,ask ash  :wink: hes got a 300tdi auto in his hybrid

muddyjames:
steve said i can take something off to do with emmissions and blank it up and it creates a few extra horse power. Sounds easy ish to do.

I dont know how easy it is to do but if i do get mega [!Expletive Deleted!] off with the auto i am sure there must be a way of converting it to a manual but i will try the auto first. never properly driven an auto before. well I mean owned one before.

Budgie:
Well done James, glad you got what you wanted.  :D

So what was the problem with the tensioner?

Do tell.  :wink:

Matt_H:
That's the egr system - it recircs exhaust gas - hense Exhaust Gas Recirculation!  It supposedly helps the emissions and also lowers some of the cylinder temps. Basically you make a plateup to blank the system off, you can remove the feeds as well, dont forget to tell the ins co though!

I wouldn't worry about changing it though I know how slow you like to drive!  ;)

Xtremeteam:
did you know that the way a diesel auto is valved it wont go into lock up until about 62mph so when you donder along the road at 55 its actually in 3rd thus using more fuel  :wink:
