TD5 POWER DELIVERY???
MZ6666:
QUESTION :
ARE ALL TD5's GUTLESS BELOW 2-2500rpm ?
WE'VE JUST HAD A DEMO LANDMARK '54 PLATE FOR THE WEEKEND AND WERE APPALLED AT FLAT IT WAS.
"ACE" WAS SMART THOUGH........WOT BODY ROLL!!
BUT THE RIDE WAS HARSH.
STILL SAVED ME SPENDING THAT £27,000 LOOSE CHANGE, THAT WAS RATTLING ROUND MY POCKET :shock: :wink:

Unless you get them chipped yes. Mine (in a defender 110) is waiting to be chipped, but you still get a marked increase in power even when they have been chipped.
Personally I like it, as you can pootle along with no urgency, and much better fuel consumption. Then when the mood takes you, or when that BMW has just cut you up, you can boot it and scare the BMW driver [!Expletive Deleted!] :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I thought that when I first got mine... I think the issue is not so much that they are gutless, but the difference between low and high revs is quite noticeable.
You get used to it after a short time, and as with any vehicle 'learn' how to drive it.
DIE BOK:
Mine too.... Td5's they are just like a Porsche not much fun in low revs, :cry: but keep it in the power band and wow does it fly :D
LOFTY:
My 130 has chip and intercooler, and will pull away from 30mph in 5th gear, there is no turbo lag at all it seems, and since removing the centre exhaust box, its even better, and has stopped the kangarooing when pulling away, and slow speed moving.
I hate electronics, and always said i wouldnt touch one with a barge poll, but hell its the future, and you cant stop progress. :wink:
