Bin the EGR & fit THIS
Also straight through mid pipe will help & sounds wonderful :lol:
I fitted a Dastek chip to my Td5 & wow :shock: what a difference that
If you fit one of these will the ecu have to be altered

No it's a piggy-back chip so original ecu stays in place...take 2mins to fit :dance:. Look at Dastek website & contact Xtremeteam as he works for Dastek.

I also find that when you hit 65 to70 the engine seems to have to work really hard to go faster.
I have had 85mph out of the old girl but its noisey.
I would like a upgrade but don't really know where to start.And of course thers the money side of things.
Is it just that the defender td5 is just slow anyway
L90OOK:
No...the td5 has to rev hard to get 85 which is why allot of people have Disco 2 high range gearing put in the transfer box. This makes cruising at 80 allot more pleasant. However I would combine the chip upgrade & gearing...the gearing upgrade walone will make the vehicle feel even more sluggish.

Man, I read this post last week and now mine is flat as a pancake. Is it contagious?! :|
The engine is feeling lifeless on acceleration.
The engine was reconned 45k ago but since the rebuild it has never had the same performance. Before I was happy at 70 - 75mph and now I hardly get 65mph out if it.
After acceleration when I start to level off it almost feels like I am starting to apply the handbrake a smidgeon. Like it's hitting a flat spot in the middle.
Does this sound like the injector pump? The performance has dropped even more over the last week and I am really hoping I won't have fork out cash I don't have for it to be reconditioned.

MAF sensor playing up? - try disconnecting it and see if it gets any better.
