I just bought a 1998 defender 130, 300TDi with low mileage (140000km). It runs well on the open road but is sluggish when cold and it struggles to pick up revs. I had the cylinder pressure tested and three of the cylinders test at 23 to 25 bar. The fourth is at 17 bar.
I read CharlesY's ("who does diesels") comments on the booster pressure of a 300TDi. He seems to know what he's talking about, could he or someone who knows these engines tell me if my TDi's cylinder pressure is OK or whether the engine requires some attention.
Fuel consumption is around 9 to 10km/l when doin 110km/h, if that is an indicater for something?
