I agree but if I look at the torque curve for my VANOS equipped engine it will be OK. I posted the torque curve earlier on here. Here it is again to save you looking for it.

peak torque is to be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_(L322)

Quite, the key to less strain on the engine and better fuel consumption is to drive at peak torque, or slower, as you say labouring is not clever at all.

Thanks Everyone Did not plan this bloody conversion, I bought it with 200tdi already fitted which was started about 12 years ago then left, did not look in to the ins and outs until after I payed for it, so got to be done now one way or...

Good luck sorting the issue.

I'm not playing the victim, all of you people crying because I won't listen to your dumb ideas are playing the victim. Don't you get it, none of you have the answer to the question that I asked so instead of admitting that you don't know what...

What a faff! It has taken us until now to book 4 flights with Ryan flipping air. Still tis done now. (Flights back from Bornemuff are at insane o'clock in the a.m. ) She has to go in once for preop assessment, then again about 2 weeks later for...

Don’t worry if it doesn’t work you can just carry on playing the victim

I would assume so but the problem is that the oil is coming out of the gap between the solenoid and the transfer case so I have to know the parts to buy before I pull it apart otherwise the car cannot drive and I need it to be able to drive. It...

I have an enormous amount of mechanical experience but I don't really care to justify it to you. I don't know anyone who doesn't understand that a lower RPM for many hours is better for the longevity of an engine. I am not talking about an...

Hey Folks Got a real bad leak on my disco 4. Stripping it down to see the problem is there anything i should replace than just the pump itself ? ( Had belts done @ 100,000 before i bought it. I would have thought the pump would have been...

The heating in my 2.5 Petrol is actually alright to be fair! Although I know this is absolutely an exception and most will be cold... although you could always fit a diesel heater. I do concur on the turning circle though, I have to reverse my...

Not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you haven't really got a clue at all and no knowledge of anything mechanical. Just because one number is lower than other means pretty much f* all really. What is your proof and rational that 1500rpm...

I changed the 6 coils packs and plugs myself about 2 years ago. I’ve ordered a set of 6 of both and will swap them out and see how it goes. The locking in park does look like a complete coincidence but it’s strange how since the AA plugged in...

I used to live in Portugal and I drove a Renault Cleo from there to England 10 years ago, so I know the trip reasonable well. I will visit a friend in Belgium and a friend in Switzerland on the journey so the ferry is not an option. I will also...

The picture is of a brand new solenoid and the inner seal is not circular it is shaped.

Just an update John - they couldn't pick up anything in the diagnostics, but finally admitted there was an issue so they are ordering a replacement rear diff from the UK, should take 4 weeks - only time will tell, will keep you in the loop. Thank...

Front axle was bone dry, supposed to have been checked over by the fella who did the water pump & belt.:mad:

With no number plate, no v5, no stamped chassis number and no chassis plate then I'm afraid it's only really a collection of parts. Some tdi and some series 2 and series 3.

Lovely looking lightweight!😎. I’m sure the wiring can be sorted. 😁

The big noos today is that W has been rung up with an appt to go back into hospicle for them to do the job properly this time. Only thing is she needs to go in for a "preassessment" a fortnight earlier. So she is pleased but all of a tiz-woz...

"A kidney stone usually doesn't cause symptoms until it moves around within the kidney or passes into one of the ureters. " Only lickle ones pass easily, I fink...

Maybe you should've read a little bit more because I need to know if the diff will fit and everyone seems to want to talk about everything else. People keep telling me to just do it but there is no point in just doing it if it won't fit...

They are quite rare nowadays. If you have access to a welder, perhaps you could make one up yourself, with some tubing and mesh?

Mornin Sunny start today Got washing in washer Got 5 pills to take this morning, lets hope they work and I can get back to normal. While I've been on hols, lawns need cutting, sunflowers over six feet and I got weeds in me path 🙂 And I need to...

Dunno. Need to check

Just stumbled across this thread, read the first page and a bit then the last page. Summary from what I have read: Joins forum, lays out plan, doesn't like the questions or responses, starts argument. The google image looks like Google's AI...

That's why i said to undo both pipes and join them together, not hard to do, all you need is a short piece of pipe to insert between them and use the existing clips

Check out the reason I was standing in a puddle of diesel, after filling to make sure I made it home, As I stated, Infantile had been at "Work":mad:
