Hi, I am new to the Landy Zone and would be greatful for some help. I have a Defender 90 TD5 2001 with only 29000 miles on the clock. I have recently removed the EGR thingy and the MPG went from 24MPG to 29MPG..... Because of the model year it does not have a cat so no need to remove...... I have had a stage 1 remap don by Mr Dynachip and I am pleased with the extra torque and power. My Dilemma now....do I fit 235/85/R16 tyres or go for the Ashcroft 1.222:1 ratio gear set to improve driveability on duel carriageways/motorways.

I hate to be unhelpful but if motorway drivability is that important to you buy an Astra Deisel estate!!
