Revv limit ish

Hi Guys

I have had my 1999 TD5 ES 107,000miles pre CAT for som4 8 month now , its is great, living in Aberdeen it has been down and up to London 3 times in that time , it was great in all the snow we had for over 3 months up here, ANYWAY I DIGRESS , the car drives fine and am regularly returning 32mpg, I am sure the turbo is working , but it is not the quickesat picking up from a start, and I really cant get it to Revv over about 3,000 - 3,250 rpm.

Should it revv easily all the way to 4,5000 ? if so how do I rectify this and what do I check , was thinking of blanking the EGR, there is no sign of oil in the injector harness either

im gettin the same prob as this, gets up to 2500 but from there up, really sluggish and really struggles to get to 3k :S

FFS it's a diesel landrover not a V8 petrol engine ya not supposed to rev the bollocks off em.

Hi Alan,I think you'll struggle to get the revs up that high, but it should rev easily round to 3500-4000rpms.

To be sure you really need to get it on a diagnostic terminal to find out what's going wrong. No point in guessing is there?

TD5 is limited to about 4K8 - but it'll have as much go as a Singer at those revs
