Td6 different animal.

you bet ya

I'd have one of those in the blink of an eye.
Even if it will run on chip fat ( joke )

If you want a fast one for whatever reason, go for the Overfinch

Yes please. If I had the pocket money to spare, I'd get one in a heart beat. Just the noise of that Chevy V8 in a P38 when it bursts into life. I get a semi every time. V8s in general sound like sex in any Land Rover though. But as I'm already spending upwards of £300 a month on my fuel bill, I don't really need to increase it any time soon.

 

[wammers]

So we agree then. A v8 LPG is better than the
2.5d.

No the 2.5 is better by a very long way.

 

[tonybirch]

I'm staying out of this one.

Not sure the derv is best because of how it behaves off boost. Sure all turbo vehicles suffer turbo lag, but in these things it is a liability, especially when cold. Put your foot down and nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, 2k BOOST! I hate having to turn right when leaving work because I can't got for a gap, I need a space big enough for a super tanker.

You have a very sick 2.5 then. Get it looked at. Mine is like **** off a shovel.

I agree, mine isn't chipped , but I don't think I need a gap big enough for the QE2, wouldn't mind getting it chipped for the extra poke

Everything else has to be right before you start fitting a chip to overcome a sick motor.

 

[Chrisfrain2007]

My engine is fine, to be honest, I can't warrant spending 300 quid on a chip, i would rather buy a nanocom, or some beer or something , if I got one at a good price then maybe

Well it has a high miles service soon, but when cold, I think this thing is trying to kill me. There is zero power off boost until I get some heat into the engine/gearbox. Get her up to temp and it is fine, sure hardly race car speeds but for a 2.7ton vehicle, it has a nice amount of poke.

I take it from these posts that this isn't normal? It was so long ago when I picked her up, I cannot remember if it is an issue that developed or has always been there.

 

[tonybirch]

So if the ranges is like **** off a shovel
What's the Porsche like.

 

[tonybirch]

Get yourself a V8 use the rangie for bits
and sell the engine to someone who needs it for their
vauxhall.

Been a while since i had it running, but very very quick. 4.7 litre V8 928 S manual. Rare as hobby horse ****. Most are autos. Must have a play with it soon.

 

[tonybirch]

Is that the one with the pop up headlights and rounded
backend

Yep that's the one.

No problem cutting into gaps in mine or winning the traffic light grand prix and it is no longer chipped

 

[wammers]

Yeah Keith, but a 2CV with it's standard pig in the back is easy meat even for a Moped.

 

[tonybirch]

Not sure tractors and little old men on bicycles count.
