300tdi Performance / MPG

Hiya

Ive got a 1996 300tdi 90 with 83000 on the clock. It has got a standard size Allisport intercooler, Straight though exhaust, and an ITG filter.

I did exactly the same 150 mile journey on Sunday with another 1997 defender with standard intercooler, exhaust and filter.

We sat at 65mph pretty much the entire way - I used 3/4 tank of diesel, and the other one used 1/2, but the other one has better performance, quicker and a better top speed. Neither 90's smoke.

Im thinking that mine needs to be tinkered with by someone who actually knows what they are doing - Fuel pump has been tweaked by many previous owners by hte look it, but i can get it flat as anything, or drinking fuel

Do you know of anyone that would be able to undertake such a task?

landy_bug:
any diesel specialist should do it. or a local performance car tuner/rolling road or try allisport?? or even a local land rover specialist.
there are plenty of places about also if funds will allow get a re-map that should improve performance and fuel consumption

Mark_Solesbury:
a 1996 300tdi remap means a man with a screwdriver!

Non ECU :)

landy_bug:
sorry forgot about that as i have no defender yet and never been under bonnet of 300tdi i will remember that tho cheers

Mark_Solesbury:
Didnt mean to sound rude!
