Just to add to this, you don't actually need a Defender throttle pedal. Although this is what I have on my current setup. On my past Tdi Series I used the stock Series pedal and attached a stock Tdi throttle cable to the rod mechanism by the passenger footwell end. You'll need to fab up a...

As said -- just fit the sodding diffs and prove us all wrong then. No point continuing to post utter nonsense like you are. Go on, I dare you to actually do it.

Clearly you know way more than I about such things.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BTW - how can you say I provided no facts, when you yourself couldn't even be bothered to look up the gear ratios. Something I did and SAHRED with you. Including speed plots, which basically show that the vehicle would be dreadful...

Not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you haven't really got a clue at all and no knowledge of anything mechanical. Just because one number is lower than other means pretty much f* all really. What is your proof and rational that 1500rpm will cause problems over 1100rpm? And if it is so...

BTW - the Tdi will run fine without an intercooler, so long as you aren't juicing up the Tdi. But it would be better with one. Lots of options for an intercooler, although factory Tdi ones would likely be the most challenging to fit. Throttle, you'll want a Defender throttle pedal (Pre TD5) and...

Completely pointless running with no turbo, you might as well just have a normal 2.25 petrol or diesel in there. The entire point of fitting a more modern turbo powered engine is for the fat turbo torque curve and extra power. --- all IMO of course. But why go to all the effort and cost of an...

You must have the crappest V8 ever designed if cruising at 1500rpm is a concern!!! :rolleyes:

Why do you think the current 1300rpm is high???? This makes no sense at all.

Yes, increased pumping looses.

Have you got any mechanical knowledge at all? An MoT tester saying a diff is rusty just sounds like a poor dodgy MoT tester tbh. The ratio change you are proposing is HUGE, have you bothered to use a gearing calculator to see what the actual impact would be? Why on Earth do you think running...

Clearly you are the first person in history to use a Range Rover for a long journey. You should share your idea so that other people can now use such vehicles without worry too.....

Dodgy illegal number plates included too.... :D

Are you actually for real? Are you doing the work yourself (I'm doubting, as you simply wouldn't ask some of these questions if you were). What is your budget? £20k, £50k, £150k or more? Doing this will likely result in a non roadworthy vehicle in the UK and would need to go for an IVA. It...

Not to disagree, but Tornados own site says it is worth tuning..... "However the dominant characteristic is actually a huge hole in the torque curve, centred around 3000 RPM. This is filled in very well with the upgrade, delivering an extra 10-15 lb/ft of torque and much faster throttle...

Thanks. Sadly Horseshoe Lane has a Voluntary Restraint on it to drive it West to East. Think I'll have to plan to return at a quiet time and try it the other way round though. Bit of a lack of passing places if you meet anyone, so can see sense of the one way direction. That said, we were laning...

lol, cliff notes: When in neutral the vehicle does not move, putting it in gear and it works. :D

While laning this year we also did the famous/infamous "Bastard" lane, properly known as Horseshoe lane. It's another one of those lanes you see people driving badly on YouTube and making a complete hash of it. You can see it on the ground too, with some very odd routes taken on some obstacles...
