Not particularly I don't think, although I don't know how I can tell. With accelerator, most response comes from first 1/4 of travel. Pushing I down further usually gives it less oomph.

2.5 na tithonus. After driving up hill (ie laboured) when road flattens out and I back off throttle, the power surges for a moment, as if I suddenly had more power. It sometimes behaves a bit like running out of fuel even though it isn't. Could it be the fuel filter? Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks! Job done 20w 50. Was a doddle.

Thanks! What differences between the 15w 40 & 20w 50? I have a puff of smoke at startup; otherwise runs well.

What engine oil/viscosity is suitable for a 2.5 nad? I'm changing oil & filter, how much will it take? Apologies if its on here already but I couldn't find.

Does anyone know on which engine the remap will give best results? Any idea of power/torque figures?

I want to get a Double Cab Defender. Question is, which one to go for. I would want to get more torque/power (more for low down grunt than top end speed) - Which engine (2.2 2.4 or Td5) would be the best to go for to get the best results (torque more preferable)? I looked at a plug in Tuning...

Now all the byways around my area (West of Peterborough) are closed for the winter I wondered whether the Thetford Forest byways would be open through the winter (all year round)?

I still have not received a response! I have today sent the third reminder. Seems to me that the best saving of money would be to get rid of the rights of way department!

I lived there for 3 years - NO green lanes what so ever! The nearest lanes to exmoor that I found are not passable in a car anyway.

I was driving a few lanes East of Peterborough the other day with the dogs and met a rather unpleasant character who was blocking the way with his van. "What you doing here?" "Just passing by" "You're not supposed to be here" " Its a legal right of way - theres a sign saying byway and it's on...

Good pics Spyderman. No way as bad as I imagined! A few 4x4s down it would flatten out those ruts nicely. I still haven't had a reply from the council.:doh:

Not I. I very much doubt they are too bothered about anyone who might try and get in for free because so few people would actually bother to go 4 miles off road to do so! I wonder whether approaching them would make it worse?!?

I don't know the answer to this, but it would be a good way forward. has anyone else met the local farmers (I havent been in this area for 4 years - until now).

This is a copy of the email i have sent to the council. I will post the reply when I recieve it. Dear Mr Fett Re: Temporary Closure of Forty Foot Lane – A6 to Santa Pod With reference to the above closure, I would like to make comments. I understand that the closure is to ‘prevent serious...

Thanks! By the way it IS open to horses etc. Ask any farmer that you'd like to rent a field/paddock for horses and you'll get a very certain NO, because they churn up (poach) the ground (and they do!). We all know the real reason for closures but armed with a few facts, it may help ones case.

I was at Santa Pod today and noticed a sign saying that the Byway is to be kept closed indefinately it seems (as well as others in the area), due to the wear on the surface. Yeah right! If cars are allowed to drive the byway in dry conditions it will actually reduce the ruts! If a tractor spent...

I have a defender with new XZL's - They are crap in the mud/grass! - Any slope and whichever way i want to go, DOWN is the only way! What pressure can I drop to to improve traction? How low could I go without having to re-inflate for normal road use?:confused:

I'd get an ex-army one from Witham Specialist Vehicles (just google them). I bought a refurbished 90 LHD afew years back for around £5000 from them - it was fantastic!

I want to get the three (incl middle) series 3 front seats (Exmoor Trim) for a new 2009 90. It says on the website that it will fit early 90's. Will they fit in a new one? I need a bit more room in the front and dont like the new seats. thanks!
