Can anyone help me through the huge aftermarket alternatives on offer? I have recently purchased, and love it! a 2002 defender country TD5 2495cc 3 doors which I would like to do some work on!
Im planning to drive this around France this summer and possibility further into Europe at a later date. I use it currently in the UK on weekends and as a station car. I have no plans to take it seriously off road at this stage; it sees the mud very rarely, a great shame i know! Whatever I do I really dont want to mess around with its ability to go off road if I can.
Im looking to increase the power of this vehicle and if possible get rid on the slow response; I guess Im looking for a more drivable car, its hard work as it is if Im to be honest. Over taking is touch and go, I would like to make this more positive without losing its charm. I fitted a K&N filter and Australian snorkel a little while ago which made a little difference from memory.
I'm thinking of a remap and any other changes that would make a difference please, someone from there mentioned the removal of a cat in the exhaust manifold. Also I' told an intercooler may help?
Also can anyone recommend what shocks, springs, bushes would be ideal
to improve its road matters? Im not looking for a racing car just better ride if possible and more power.
PS this is the best car I have purchased in years , I love the car but it needs a little help, me too!
