have you serviced yours recently?

my 200 tdi disco will do 80 all day on road tyres, I just don't do it now coz of the amount of fuel it uses at that speed.

forget it I just realised your in a 110, different gearing in them :doh:

nah mate, gearing is different in a disco, I believe 90/110 are similar but not sure.

A1 yesterday near Doncaster. white R reg 110 TDI (I am guessing a 300) doing 80 easily...i even counted 16 seconds from stand still in traffic to 80!
I am bloody jealous now..am wondering if I should have gone for a 300 rather than my 93 200tdi

My 110 (M reg 300Tdi) will hit 80 easily, haven't timed a 0-60 but did manage to squeeze past a Halfords Corsa in Gloucester in December. Was carrying 9 people plus guns and ammo at the time

Standard 200/300 same power but its not hard to up the power of either by bigger intercooler and pump reset.

yes...I have being doing alot of research as want to get the best from my 200tdi...I have cleaned out the intercooler and changed to silicon intercooler hoses...I have managed to aquire the gospel to injection pump tuning according to Ian Peterson (PDF) So far I have adjusted the low idle amd off boost screw which has improved low end performance. I am waiting for my TIM turbo gauge before I attempt the other 3 pump adjustments and then also the turbo boost setting
I hope then to set up the engine (without smoke) to optimum settings

Are td5s different then? myn will rock to a tone no mither! it was going down a bank tho... only done it once chasing some prick on m6 see if hed like me sitting on his arse end like he did me.
