--- Quote from: "ian_s" ---on my 2.25d, the rev limiter cut in fairly harshly at 55mph.
it would accelerate happily if slowly up the there then stop dead!
its the same with the tdi, it gets to 65mph in no time, and then just stops accelerating.

You should definately look at your gearing. I can do more than than in a 2.5 n/a d with an overdrive and normal series diffs.

When i put my overdrive on my mate put a pair of high ratio diffs on his (2.25petrol). He later took them off and fitted an overdrive instead...

Yoshi:
I was going to say i get 65mph out of my series 3 2.25 petrol on 7.50's!

Rich_P:
The 2.5 N/A in a Series, on standard transmission gearing with overdrive can achieve 75mph, leaving a bit of poke to go to 80ish if needed.  Without overdrive you should be able to achieve about 65-70mph.

ian_s:
yeah, 75 MPH is possible with an overdrive,
i dont have one, and i cant afford one at the moment, whereas i can afford a pair of diffs.
