Not normal at all....the TD6 is more than torquey enough to pull away from cold....

The problem you describe is a common issue and there is a problem with the box....I hate to point you to another forum, but search both fullfatrr.com and rangerovers.net for posts by a guy called RRPhil (he is known as Bemble on here) as this has been discussed numerous times....
 
I think I may take to Land Rover to check it out. Cheers for quick responce
As I said earlier, chuck it back and get a refund, the longer you leave it the harder it will be. Sale of goods act, not of merchantable quality.
If you take it to LR, ask for a written report you can use for back up.
 
Well after much back and forth to dealers, they have finally put in a recon box with a 12 month unlimited mileage warranty and it drives as should! :)

Grand news and a great victory for the 'little people' :D
 
As Data said, never heard that line before about gearbox pressure. I had a 2002 TD6 which went like Sh!t off a shovel from ignition, even before getting warm. It is definitely NOT underpowered! Seems like some Class A BS from the dealer! Bremble may be able to shed some light on that pressure situation, but yours deffo ain't normal! it does sound like the TC. sorry!

Nice one, remember to change the oil & filter regularly and you may get more than 60K miles out of the replacement.

They put a new TC in with the recon box, I made sure of that! :D
