or get a V8?!

You can't chip the 300tdi(well, the defender version anyway), but you can tweak the fuel pump and have a new intercooler fitted. Tweaking the fuel pump will make a bit of a difference and any landrover garage can probably do this for you for not so much dosh. I got my intercooler from jeremy j fearn and it makes my defender 300tdi go very nicely indeed!

yes, but it decreases the fuel consumption i hear?!

accyroy · Jun 28, 2005

hehe, the way my right foot works I've never noticed an increase in fuel consumption, but my defender definately consumes a lot of fuel!

yeh, so does mine. V8, what can you expect eh>??

i know. ridiculous. outragous. lost for words.

Yes probably the best thing is to get a larger intercooler increases the power to something in region of 135bhp should fly up those hills.
