Was given a ride in a 200tdi today. Head had been ported and skimmed, uprated standard fitment intercooler, timing advanced and fuel pump tweaked...nothing else.
It was the best driving Defender I have ever been in. In fact it was fantastic.
It was very quick and could accelerate hard in 4th and 5th gear from very low speed. It was a very very lively Defender and the engine sounded fantastic (standard exhaust).
Apparently it was slow and smokey like many an old TDI before this was done few weeks ago. Today there wasn't a smidgen of smoke out of it.
Has anybody else done this to theirs?
Cost the owner less than £550 for everything.
He told me Defenders timing was apparently slightly regards so he advanced it a tad.
I'm just quite interested in this as I would definitely have this done to mine as it was an insane improvement.
