Do TDi Autos have more power than manuals??
muddyjames:
That one does have something extra under the bonnet compared to mine. In the very bottom photo looking from drivers side accross engine, right by the wing looks to be an extra cable or something and then a piece of horizontal metal. Any ideas what they are for? Should mine have them as mine is a higher spec disco to that one. :-k
Dr.Ed:
from memory the TDi autos gave 116bhp and the manuals 111bhp - this was mainly to overcome the loses from the auto box. later TDi engines had an ECU fitted, most probably for emissions reasons - ECU is in the passenger footwell?

Do you mean this bit?
If you do - that's the cruise control thingy.

Dunno!
I suppose you can "spec up" all cars when new. He/she opted for cruise and your model doesn't have it as standard.
Later vs earlier models??
