Usually later in the revs range. Most petrol on turbos are at there best around 3k through to 5k revs. Motor depending also and if there are camshaft timing devices that shift torque points😵🫣 How bloody complicated does it need to be😂

The BMW inpa software may should work on your car, its a free download but you need the right cable to connect to a laptop there are companys that will see you the cable and software along with back up for about £70 may be worth a shot ibelive...

Thanks Phil. Any idea how to sell it / what it should be priced at?

Very good point. I do not know how to do emoji but if I did I would do the same face. I am now wondering how to find the torque curve of the 4.4 petrol L322 engine...

I was not concerned but if I changed them for newer diffs without rust that adds a small extra benefit to making the change. I have no plans to change the diffs due to the rust. My aim was to reduce RPM during steady driving on motorways /...

As long as the engine is in it's natural torque curve or it'll labor from the lower revs possibly 🤔

Hi John, Probably not the best place to ask here as we are mostly owners of the original Defender and previous models on this forum. JLR should have given the D300 another name as it has very little in common the old model and having the same...

I can manually select 5th gear if needed if it does not automatically change up.

It would be unusual to have 2 O rings facing each other. It you can find the size I've got hundreds here and will happily send you one. Bemble might know if he's still around.

I would do what is easiest/quickest, less cut out the better for the car. How are you joggling the steel sheet? I ask as I bought a joggler (cheap one) and it is bloody rubbish.

My l add to my little bottomless money pit? Booked in with my local indie garage for new brake pads and front suspension arms etc, the usual clapped=out at over 140,000 miles syndrome. It also needs 2 rear caliper replacing, in is so badly siezed...

Hi mate rear part not so good, three layers too have cut out rot in centre part, first will remove rear tub rot roughly white lines this will allow me to remove inner rotten part of cill again roughly marked, as sandwiched between rear tub and...

Thanks. EDIT: I found out how to put myself on the map to be available to help others.

Wow what an amazing resource! Unfortunately the people near to me that have diagnostic equipment all mention that they have a generic OBD reader that can only read information from the car not to write information back to the car. I need the...

If your concerned about the diff outer casings, as long as there is no oil seepage they're good to go. Have seen the cars and the rust in the UK that drive in Salt treated roads😵

Didn't know that LPG was still obtainable, can't remember the last time I passed a garage that sold it. OK in cylinders & better suited to rural gas boilers & fork-lifts ;) Thought I'd save money by having my 3.9 RRC converted to gas back in...

It's normally because the boots is out of its natural position. Flat🫵👍

My diffs are incredibly rusty. I mentioned that they are so rusty that the MOT guy mentioned them but I already was aware that they are really rusty. I am talking about flakes of metal falling off them when you touch them slightly, so badly that...

I am not sure on the physics of this but I think the engine in my 2002 L322 will do ok given that it is built to tow, and I will have myself, my dogs and not much else in the car. My main motivation is that there are long periods of steady...

It’s a bitsa… Log book is a series 3 Engine is a TDI Plus side chassis looks like a galv type Will need a lot of work

Addition: I forgot to ask; do we need a V5 / Log Book? If we do not have one in this instance, what would we have to do instead?

I go everywhere in mine lad. 6hrs to the off-road event every year, to blighty and even taken the old girl as far as italy and back👌😎 No range rover fear here girls🫵😜

I am sorry that I mentioned the fuel aspect, only to stop people saying that it was a waste of money. My main reason is to run the engine at a lower RPM on a long trip. Just to put a little bit less stress on a 23-year-old engine.

Just the many diffs that are available on eBay and from wreckers of L322s in the UK. As RRPhil mentioned elsewhere the 2.76 diff is from the 8 speed diesel L322 so they will all be relatively new diffs compared to mine from 2002 with 153k miles...

Thank you for this important information.

No choice, without hazard lights, parking lights that always on on the right front and side indicators not worker neither not a chance to pass MOT / TÜV... And given the state of the Harnesses as is, no way to fix it without building basically a...

I am happy to say that Wifey & I visited the banks we could not get to acknowledge her existence today and all accounts are in the process of being closed. The most difficult one was TSB (who WE bank with) and so we went through a whole...

I got my chrome ones 7 years ago , still good, I looked on the Britpart website and they show both the Teflon ones and chrome, wonder now the Teflon ones last

Also at 70mph, surely lowering the revs from 1300 to 1100 is not gonna save much petrol ? Rememer you need a certain amount of energy or fuel to keep a brick shaped car rolling !!

Does this help ? https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post676116.html
