I see the TD5 was originally advertised as having an 0-62 time of 17.5 seconds. I haven't formally tested this, but it feels perilously slow when I am on a slip road trying to match my speed to motorway traffic.
Get it remapped and that problem disappears-the difference is amazing

And the point is? I think the 0-60 (usually 0-62/100kph these days) is the most irrelevant statement ever made by a manufacturer. A far more important figure for everyday driving is the 30-50/40-60 figures in order to reduce the TED (time exposed to danger) when overtaking, especially on single track roads - & yes I already know I'm an old fart!

14 seconds in a 300tdi defender 110 pickup with 33 12.50 15 tyres just done it only on mobile phone though so probably a bit quicker and its not set up right yet, been tweaking still running slightly lean a second or so can be shaved off hopefully.

Woudln't last long though tuned like that. I'd say now about 16?

My Defender V8 will do it in around 16 secs, my bike will do it in less than 4.

Bit sluggy for a V8 isn't it? Or is it on standard carbs?

Indeed
And possibly a killjoy too?:flame:
Maybe, but with age comes experience & judgement
nb: according to LR mine will get there in 12 secs but out of respect for a 27 year old ZF I've never put it to the test.

Not standard V8, but with roof rack, winch and bumper adding weight, and Disco diffs increasing the gearing, it isn't as quick as it could be.

Fair enough, I do pretty well to get my 200tdi to 60 in the 14-16 mark then. Has winch bumper, rock sliders, tools, plenty of sounds proofing
and sometimes a roof rack. Doesn't seem to affect speed surprisingly just mpg.got 31" Cooper STT's
Was going to fit a disco t-box but now that i'm probably going to start using it for towing the disco, that probably would be counterproductive.
