Hi,

Just wondering how well a 1986 2.5 N/A Diesel 90 will pull up hills? We're talking hills that are between 25 and 30 degrees if u can imagine that. Is it likely to be a poor performer?

Thaks in advance for any opinions

Used to have that engine in our 110 before the disco lump went in. If it is anything like what ours was it i'll be second gear and a megaphone to speak to your passengers

I had one in my 110 also and it was the same as Brads by the sound of things. I would go for 200 tdi I noticed a huge difference since I have had mine fitted.

I''ve a deposit down the on 2.5 N/A and I have had it out for a test drive. Seems nippy enough. I will just have to wait and see, but thanks for the feedback!

If yer looking for a plodding motor it will be fine welcome to the world of land rovers where your hands are always oily and your pockets empty

It will pull fine, had mine up a hill a good load of times thats probably the angle your talking about, pulled up no problem.

It is a good engine, it works best at low speed due to the pumping losses through combustion chamber hole into the cylinder. When its going fast is sucking and blowing through a fairly small hole pretty damn fast.

More low down grunt than a TD5, the 2.5 simply pulls!

Hope its not black or red, they don't go up hills!

Cos red uns, as E&I sez don't go up hills.

pos · May 2, 2007

I take it that this is some kind of grudge that people have against red and black models? Or is it a fact due to something different in the workings? I'm guessing it's a grudge

Hang on a mo.

Reet then theres a prize to the first person that can find the fred that we conclusively discovered that red uns dint go up hills. And I'll give you a clue it was posted before http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/advice-90s-28046.html
