Mine does 75!!!

[Mad200TDI]

Got 75 out of my 200tdi on the way to work this morn, is that good... my last landy struggled to hit 60

 

[jamesmartin]

either 1.6667 t/box or engine is not as should be

 

[smokey 11a]

Only 75, I have a 2.5 td 110 converted to 200tdi, disco transfer box (I don't tow) that will hit 90mph. on the M way in France.
With the standard 110 t box like yours flat out around 75, and about 25mpg, now I get mid to high 30's mpg. less noise at crusing speed and have a bit spare to overtake without scaring myself.

Iver had 85 out of my defender 90 200tdi, and it has 164k on clock, didnt really appreciate it mind haha

[Mad200TDI]

Got 75 out of my 200tdi on the way to work this morn, is that good... my last landy struggled to hit 60

My first pre-cat 300TDi 90 I saw an indicated 92mph running BFG Trac-Edges. Speedo was under-reading as it should have had 205's on and these were bigger. Car in front was reading an indicated 106mph+

 

[bluehaze]

Dodgy speedos!!!!

 

[Dave90]

Every one is different, British engineering

 

[Station House]

My 1994 300 TDi is happiest at 55 - 65 but will hit 80

That said, the re-entry scares me, so 55 - 65 is where we stay

i'm with SH re-entrys a bitch... i go no faster than 60 mph loads left in her but just god dam noisey with muds on...

 

[Richard91]

i can get 70 out of my 2.5 n/a 90. only downhill with the wind behind me tho

 

[Dave90]

If I sit at 55-60 it copes fine, does quite a few mpg too 32+ so i cant complain really

 

[sible88]

Doing 90 in a defender is very dangerous and you should not have a licence!!

Who gives a **** I had 100 in my 90 v8 with a little more to go, but with the 300 in it now 65 is good before it's rattles itself to death.

 

[Fur Trapper]

a good fender in the td5 family 90mph should be a treat the tyres are rated for 110mph so whats wrong with that, would rather have a 110 doing that though longer wheel base, little more room for ere

 

[sible88]

I don't see a problem at all but last time I said I had 90mph in my fender every1 on ere said I should not be on the road and I am a danger to other road users!!
Don't know about you but where I live 80% of drivers drive down or up the A1/ M1 faster than this but it's ok because they have cars that stop quicker??
I THINK NOT!!

As long as the plod ain't looking do as you wish as long as it's not life threatening!!
BE SAFE!!!

 

[Cavey_P38]
